Fred is the Man to be your guide in BA - First time in BA for us and it’s a big city to navigate. Fred was invaluable in making our days there stress free. He met us at AEP in the early afternoon and off we went to see beautiful parks, historical architecture, colorful neighborhoods. Of course Fred was brimming with information about the city he loves. He dropped us at our hotel and promptly appeared the next morning to begin another great day of exploring. Thank you Fred! We highly recommend him.

Fred’s foodie tour was excellent! - Our tour guide Fred was a joy to spend the afternoon with from a personality standpoint, and he was extremely knowledgeable about the San Telmo area and Buenos Aires in general. He gave us advice about other activities and was flexible & accommodating with our itinerary. All-in-all he’s an excellent host, very personable and a good communicator. I appreciated his sense of humor (lots of laughs) and kindness. Above all—the food that we ate was YUMMY! The San Telmo market was a highlight—I highly recommend it, and Fred. I wish I had taken a full-day city tour with him in addition to the food tour.

Food Tour with Shopping Stops - Food portion was varied and nice - enjoyed seeing parts of BA we haven’t explored before. We’re not shoppers at all and would have preferred skipping high sell spots. Fred was lovely and very professional with the redirect back to food tour. I’d specify your interests up front or when booking to ensure your tour meets your goals.

Good sampling of typical food and beverages - Overall good experience. Sampled typical foods from sweet to savory and beverages from mache to a variety of wines. We ended the tour with a nice meal at San Telmo. I was paired with another group ( tour says it is private) which was fine but they were late in arriving and the transportation between sites couldn't hold everyone which further delayed logistics. While OK we spent far too much time at the leather stores. I did appreciate the opportunity to see Tango in the square and the assistance in getting an Uber back to the hotel.

Well worth it - Fred was so hospitable. I loved the market, empanadas, choripans and the wine. I could have skipped the leather shop but that’s me. The shop for mooncakes, wine and tea in La Boca was great
