Itinerary

Stop 1

Passing by

Starting from our office, we’ll stroll down Defensa Street, where you’ll encounter bustling antique markets, striking architecture, and charming cobblestone streets. As we explore, you’ll admire the neighborhood's historic buildings, iconic "faroles" streetlights, and period-style decorations that transport you back in time, making this a truly unforgettable experience.
Stop 2

Passing by

We’ll continue to Lezama Park, a peaceful green space with tree-lined avenues and a charming amphitheater. Afterward, a short walk will bring us to Puerto Madero, a modern neighborhood of skyscrapers, upscale restaurants, and luxury hotels. Here, we’ll cross the dock and stroll along the waterfront, passing the iconic Puente de la Mujer (Women's Bridge), designed by Santiago Calatrava to symbolize a tango dance.
Casa Rosada

Passing by

Crossing the bridge, we’ll reach Plaza de Mayo, where you’ll see the Metropolitan Cathedral, the colonial Cabildo, and the Casa Rosada (Pink House). Your guide will share the rich history and events that shaped this historic square.
Obelisco

Passing by

Crossing the square, we’ll head down Diagonal Norte, a key avenue linking the Judicial Power (Supreme Court) with the Executive Power (Casa Rosada). Our walk will bring us to the iconic Obelisco de Buenos Aires, located in the heart of Avenida 9 de Julio, the widest avenue in the world.
Teatro Colon

50 min Admission included

We’ll cross Avenida 9 de Julio and continue for two blocks to reach the renowned Colón Theater, one of the world’s top five opera houses, known for its size, acoustics, and rich history.

For those who selected the Colón Theater option, the tour will end with an exclusive guided visit inside. You’ll explore the Auditorium, Main Foyer, Busts Gallery, and Golden Hall, where you can admire stunning architectural details, sculptures, and stained glass. After the 50-minute tour, we’ll conclude at the theater’s entrance.
Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires

one hour Admission included

For those who opted to visit the MALBA, we’ll board a bus to the Palermo neighborhood, home to the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires. Founded in 2001, the museum focuses on collecting, preserving, and showcasing Latin American art from the early 20th century to the present. With around 400 works from leading modern and contemporary artists, the tour will conclude with your entrance to the museum, where you can explore the exhibits at your own pace.
Recoleta

Passing by

You can also choose the tour which includes a visit to both (the Teatro Colón and the MALBA). In this case you will have a guided tour around the Teatro, then head to the MALBA where entrance ticket is provided. The tour will then come to an end, and the guide will leave you to explore the museum on your own.
