Bienvenido! My name is Alejandro, but you can call me Alex. I'm an engineer who, after traveling for business all around Argentina, decided to swap the suit and tie for a t-shirt and sneakers to show "my beloved city" to everyone looking for a great time… quite a long story for a brief intro, so we'll save that for our tour! Why choose me? - Touristic and hidden gems: During my tours, we visit both the iconic sights and the hidden spots. - Tailored to you: The core concept is to learn a lot about Buenos Aires and Argentina while relaxing and having fun. I can easily adapt the tour to your personal interests. - No rush! We can talk about history, geography, nature, politics, economics, wine… it's all up to you! The idea is to share great moments and make you feel right at home. - Comfortable rides: I use spacious SUVs with panoramic sunroofs and all the comfort you need. I've just bought a Ford Territory (you can check out the pictures in my profile!). For larger groups, I use Mercedes-Benz minibuses. - Eco and Social Impact: My tours are eco-friendly and socially responsible. For every tour booked, I donate a portion of the proceeds to a children's home and offset the carbon emissions through reforestation efforts. - Reviews: I’m quite modest (a bit rare for an Argentine!), so I find it hard to brag about myself... please take a minute to read my guest reviews. You’ll see that people usually describe me as knowledgeable, kind, respectful, and funny (just don’t ask my wife!). What I love most about being a guide is picking up a guest and, by the end of the tour, shaking hands with a new friend. I’d be thrilled to have you join me on my tour!

Overview of your Buenos Aires tour

BEFORE BOOKING CONTACT ME TO CHECK AVAILABILITY This tour will introduce you to the wine regions and to the flavors of Argentina. A culinary experience where you'll learn the local cooking secrets while enjoying a nice day in the suburbs of BA. Each dish is based on the traditional way of cooking, they are "recipes with history". The wines capture the essence of different terroirs (soil, latitude and altitude) that positioned Argentina as an excellent wine producer country. The experience is based on REGIONAL criteria, SEASONAL and ORGANIC products, that arrive directly from the producer to the consumer. The “Asado” (BBQ) is always present, but we will surprise you with other dishes. The wines are of boutique vineyards (small and high-quality productions) whose products are not frequently available in local supermarkets. On our way we will discover the residential city of San Isidro. Available for BIG GROUPS (up to 12 passengers) -

Alex is the best! He took us around San Isidro and was cool about stopping wherever we wanted. He really gave us the time to just enjoy the ride and we never felt rushed. Alex literally knows everything! No matter what topic we brought up, he had something interesting to say. He shared a lot of interesting information about the city too! The food tasting was a highlight, and the family that hosted us was absolutely amazing. Not only was the food incredible, but the time we spent talking with them was just great. Huge thanks to Alex for making it such a special day!

What a delightful day! We had already seen the City sights and Alejandro provided the perfect final day in Buenos Aires. We left the city and went to Tigre where we were able to see the Delta Community. An amazing voyage thru the waterways that make up the Delta. Alejandro is very knowledgeable and provided great insight into this area as well as the history of how things developed. The highlight of the day was the afternoon meal prepared by a local family in their home. From Chorizo to cheese to filet to pork ribs everything was prepared with care and perfectly. The wine pairings were excellent and Alejandro provided detailed information about each wine and the region it came from. The hospitality afforded us by our hosts was personal and outstanding. The only complaint might be that we ate and drank far more than we should have but we could not help ourselves.

We had an amazing day in a warm, family-like atmosphere. Alex and everyone who helps him with the tour were incredibly kind, they made sure we enjoyed every moment and explained each step of what they served. We tasted delicious wines, had an outstanding asado, chatted a lot, learned a lot, and enjoyed a classic Argentine family barbecue in a beautiful garden. Totally worth it!!

Great time with Alex who gave a wonderful city tour with lots of background on the city and the country on the way to our amazing meal. We ate at the lovely home of friends in the suburbs on San Isidro and had excellent Argentinian dishes, drinks and wine. The opportunity to meet a family and hear about their lives, work, schooling while enjoying the sumptuous food on the veranda enjoying all of it! Alex is a great host!

We combined the Tigre & San Isidro city tour + Delta islands boat tour with the Buenos Aires Cooking Experience and added Wine Tasting! We did sightseeing as described in the itinerary and then went on the boat tour. When finished we went to a private house for the cooking experience and wine tasting. We enjoyed being with two families at the private house, and the conversation and discussion were wonderful. This was our second full day with Alex. Would love to have another day touring with him. 5++stars.

Your Buenos Aires tour itinerary

We depart from Buenos Aires driving through the park lane to the northern suburbs. When arriving to San Isidro, we will tour the old town and the jockey club, horse racing field and residential areas of this lovely county. Afterwards we will go to a private house where we will start with the wine tasting and the cooking experience. What will you learn? You will learn the geography of the terroir from which the wines come and the history of the recipes you are going to cook and eat (some go back to 500 BC). What will it be like? It will be a tasty, funny, and local experience. What will you have? You will have a starter (usually 3 dishes to try a little bit of everything), main course (also 3 dishes) and dessert. Of course, beverages and wine are included. The perfect blend of quantity and quality. We can attend any special food requirement (celiac, vegan, etc.). Distances from Buenos Aires city San Isidro: 22 km (13. 5 miles)
