“Private guided tour tailored around your schedule, tastes and interests” Let us create a Specialty walking Tour Off the Beaten Path tailored to your specific requirements, where you will get the information, perspectives and history that is most interesting to you. The tour won’t be done in the traditional big group style.

The tour will include city landmarks that deviate from your typical must-see tourist stops, so you will have an authentic local experience. We are pretty sure that you will enjoy discovering unique places that are not on the standard touristic circuit or included in any guidebook. Please note that we only organize “off the beaten path tours”. Buenos Aires off the Beaten Path tours is proud to have received the certificate of Excellence for 2017, 2018 and 2019 from TripAdvisor.
