Hi! My name is Mercedes, and I am a professional tour guide. Born and raised in the city I'm in love with: Buenos Aires. Let's enjoy together! Since my childhood I've had a passion for travel, so I decided to study tourism; then, after visiting lots of cities and countries I concluded that my city was spectacular! We have an original mix of Tango, Pampas and Europe; with an architecture that's reminiscent of France, Spain and New York's skyscrapers. Art, museums, music, food, polo, fashion: my city has it all! Buenos Aires, the queen of Del Plata, has a lot to offer to you. I can show you the highlights of the city, the hidden corners, the tales and legends; we can have a coffee, like a real porteño does almost every day, or may be you can try a Mate! We can walk, we can ride a private car, or take a "Colectivo" (bus). Nothing is written, you can write your own story, here, with me. See you soon! - Professional Tour Guide ( Centro de Guías de Turismo de San Isidro, Buenos Aires) - Tourism & Travel Agent, By Universidad de Belgrano - Scholarship in Cultural Heritage of the City of Buenos Aires, By Konex

What a wonderful tour. I saw so much in just a short time. Mercedes knowledge and expertise took it to the next level. Would absolutely recommend her as a guide to any friend coming to Buenos Aires. The use of public transportation was great and she taught me how to get around on my own on the bus.
Richard V.United States
Mercedes was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. We saw several distinct areas of Buenos Aires and each had something different to offer. Her English was excellent!
Marc A.United States
Mercedes loves her city and it shows. She is knowledgeable and passionate about all she describes and all the questions she answers. This tour, both the time frame and the agenda, were perfect for us. She is very accommodating if you want to stop and take pictures, ask questions, get coffee, snacks, lunch, etc... She will also customize for your preferences. I highly recommend her and this walking tour (but you have to be able and willing to walk). We love walking around cities, so it was great for us
Ron M.United States
Mercedes provided a great tour. She is extremely knowledgeable about all things Buenos Aires. She explained history, architecture, geography, botany, and culture in an informative and engaging manner. This ""5 hour walking tour" provides a great introduction to this interesting city. My wife and I enjoyed our time with Mercedes and highly recommend this tour.
