Hello there! I am YOUR person! your Guide! , and I would love to be your local friend and guide you in Buenos Aires. My love affair with this city began when I was a curious child wandering the cobbled streets of its historic neighborhoods with my grandparents and my dad. He patiently indulged my fascination with old buildings, notable cafés and the old port. Those walks shaped the way I see Buenos Aires today: not just as a city, but as a collection of stories waiting to be discovered. Over the years, I deepened that passion by studying the city's history, art, music, architecture, literature and tango culture. Today, I combine that knowledge with genuine enthusiasm to create experiences that go beyond traditional sightseeing. If you join me, I won't simply point out landmarks. I will share the Buenos Aires I love: elegant avenues, hidden corners, historic cafés, colorful neighborhoods, local traditions, fascinating architecture, tango stories and everyday porteño life. Whether we are exploring grand palaces, photographing beautiful streets, discussing Argentine culture over coffee, or discovering the soul of San Telmo, my goal is for you to feel connected to the city and understand why I never stop falling in love with it. Every traveler is different, and I truly enjoy tailoring each experience to your interests. Whether you are passionate about history, architecture, photography, food, culture, tango, literature or simply experiencing the city like a local, together we will create a memorable day designed especially for you. IF YOU DON'T SEE THE TOUR YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, PLEASE ASK! Wine tastings, tango lessons, local milongas, architecture walks, photography experiences, cultural tours and fully customized itineraries can all be arranged. I love creating unique experiences based on your interests. Licensed Buenos Aires Tour Guide. Major in Art History and Music. English Proficiency. Safe Travels WTTC. Sustainable Tourism Diploma.

Overview of your Buenos Aires tour

MAGIC awaits in Buenos Aires! Let me guide you through the city’s must-see highlights for an unforgettable experience. Start in La Boca, a vibrant neighborhood rich in history as Buenos Aires’ first port. Its Italian influence shines in colorful streets and the iconic Caminito, an open-air museum alive with artisans, painters, and Tango dancers. La Boca holds a special place in my heart—my grandfather arrived here on an immigrant ship, tying me to its rich past. Then, explore San Telmo, my absolute favorite! Stroll its cobblestone streets, admire colonial architecture, and browse antique markets. This bohemian hub is alive with street Tango, cozy cafés, and the lively Plaza Dorrego, where locals and visitors mingle. From savoring empanadas to uncovering treasures at the San Telmo Market, this neighborhood captures the soul of Buenos Aires. As a proud local and seasoned traveler, I’ll show you BA like no one else. Join me for a day you’ll treasure forever!

Our experience in Buenos Aires was exceptional, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible tour guide Marina. From the moment we met, it was clear that she was not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about sharing the city's history, culture, and hidden gems. The tour struck the perfect balance between famous landmarks and lesser-known neighborhoods that we never would have discovered on our own. Every stop came with fascinating historical context, local stories, and cultural insights that made Buenos Aires come alive. Rather than feeling like a scripted presentation, the experience felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local who truly loves where they live. What impressed us most was Marina’s ability to adapt the tour to our interests and pace. She welcomed questions, offered thoughtful recommendations for restaurants, cafés, tango shows, and local markets, and shared practical tips that made the rest of our stay even more enjoyable. Her recommendations turned out to be some of the highlights of our trip. Plus she had the best places for a bathroom break !!! Marina was friendly, professional, punctual, and incredibly organized. She made sure we felt included and comfortable throughout the day, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.Her enthusiasm was contagious, and it was obvious she takes great pride in providing an outstanding experience for visitors. If you're planning a visit to Buenos Aires, I highly recommend booking a tour with Marina. Whether it's your first time in the city or you're returning to explore more deeply, you'll leave with a greater appreciation for Buenos Aires, its rich history, vibrant neighborhoods, beautiful architecture, and unique culture. This was one of the best tours we've taken and it created memories we'll cherish for years to come. Five stars without hesitation! Pam & Dennis

Marina is an excellent guide. She knows everything about Buenos Aires. And she has a broad level of knowledge across many topics and helped us better understand Argentinian culture and politics. Having lived in US, her spoken English is excellent. We communicated extensively before the tour to ensure we would see what wanted to, and Marina has continued to provide lots of helpful information, photos and videos even after the tour!

Marina was a fabulously fun guide! We saw and experienced so much in just the hours we had together. She tailored the tour to accommodate our every wish and I can't imagine a better time. I leave Buenos Aires with a new friend and I will definitely be back. Our driver was also patient and just really spectacular.
