- Barrio Ingles - Known as the “English” neighborhood of Caballito, this is one of the city’s most beautiful residential areas. Originally constructed for the working class, it features neoclassical architectural styles.
- Mercado del Progreso - At 130 years old, this is the city’s oldest market. Primarily focused on meat, most vendors are butchers. It is a traditional market with an old-fashioned charm that transports visitors back in time.
- Cementerio de la Chacarita - While most tourists visit the Recoleta Cemetery, few are aware of another monumental cemetery in the city: the Cemetery of Chacarita, which is 25 times larger. It boasts monumental architecture comparable to or exceeding that of Recoleta, and is the resting place of the greatest tango artists, including Carlos Gardel, as well as popular icons and social associations. A truly hidden gem.

This tour is nice if you... - This tour is nice if you have done other tours in Buenos Aires and want to see other areas. The church was beautiful, loved the architecture of the neighborhoods we drove thru and walked in.. Liked the fact the guide had a driver, so it was very efficient, didn’t have to look for parking. Mariano was very knowledgeable. Good use of the 4 hours.

Great impressions away from the usual tourist route - Sightseeing tour and places you wouldn't see otherwise. Advanced knowledge is very helpful for a tour in Spanish. But Mariano also speaks English. The schedule is being kept.

Buenos Aires again - Outstanding Tour - We have been to Buenos Aires many times, in fact I lived in Argentina in the 1970's, so we were very familiar with Buenos Aires. This tour definitely took us to places Off the Beaten Path. We saw some amazing architecture and Chacarita Cemetery, which in my opinion is more intriguing than Recoleta. Mariano is an amazing guide. He knows his city well and how the Argentine history intertwines with the rest of the world. I highly recommend this tour to someone who wants to know the culture of the city versus the tourist hot spots. He gives you very personal attention.

The Tour to Take to Discover hidden Gems - This tour takes you to areas which are different from the normal touristy areas where everyone hangs out. Gives you the opportunity to discover many hidden gems which are well worth the visit. Our guide, Mariano was excellent and very friendly. He also has perfect Spanish and English. He took us to many interesting places. Some of the highlights I most enjoyed was visiting the tomb of Carlos Gardel, the beautiful church ln Caballito and the stop at "Chinatown". Would recommend this tour for anyone looking for something different and interesting.
