Hola, cómo están?! My name is Guillermo Gentile and I am a creator of unique and wonderful memories. I love being an experienced and professional Licensed Tour Guide, I have almost 2 decades working on this field traveling around the world. For me to be Licensed to guide you I went to University for 4 years. I´m in love with my city and I am really convinced visiting Buenos Aires should be vibrant, passionate, colorful and full of exciting experiences and flavours. I specialize in History, Architecture, Food, Nature and Worldwide History. To travel is not only visiting different places without context but to mingle with the locals, being part of the culture and going to those hidden spots where we go for food, wine and to have fun! My services start right at the moment you hire me, that means phone calls to prepare your entire trip in Argentina: Buenos Aires, Iguassu Falls, Mendoza, Patagonia, Calafate, Usuahia and more destinations. Long time ago I comenced as a Tour Guide, 2007, with time I realized people didn't want to go over and over to the same places, listening to so many dates so I changed all of that for curated and personalized tours and that's why I am known in Argentina. Most of my tours have been customized according to people´s preferences. Before becoming a Professional Tour Guide I was a Pro Basketball player in Argentina. I think that tenacity of being so dedicated to it showed me the way to spend so many hours reading and searching about my city. Having hundreds of people, families, couples, and heterogeneous groups my focus was always to make them smile, if necessary to cry as well because Buenos Aires is Tango and Buenos Aires is also melancholy, soccer, basketball, Malbec, Asado, Messi, Maradona and Mate. I have traveled my lovely Argentina but also countries such as: Wales, Ireland, Brazil, England, Uruguay, USA, Canada, Spain and Portugal among others. From those countries and people I have nourished myself. Please let me lead you to this fantastic adventure in Argentina.

Overview of your Buenos Aires tour

Visiting Buenos Aires is not just walking and seeing the main buildings. . . is way more than that. Cafes were always a big part of our identity: who we are, how we think and of course how we love. . . To take a step into this customized tour will allow you to understand the process of this new born city up to these days. Cafes were always a social venue for so many important historical decisions, they were the place where immigrants gathered, literature and poetry were created, political decisions taken, freemasons and Tango. They are unique pieces of art as well, architecture is so dominant in BA! To have a cup of coffee, for us, is to take time with our people, talking even to strangers about soccer, politics, religion, Maradona and also our roots! Book now and have the most memorable time in Buenos Aires!! Always more than you hire. GO and CHECK my profile and reviews. PLEASE CHECK AVAILABILITY FOR DEC 24-25-31 AND JAN 1 Transfers in and out from airports can be provided as well as Tango shows.

My wife and I strongly recommend Guillermo in all respects. When arranging our tour, Guillermo always responded within half an hour. He was flexible and allowed us to customize his Discover Iconic Cafes tour to add detailed tours of the surrounding neighborhoods. We spoke by WhatsApp to ensure understanding of the changes, plus he emailed a document confirming our understanding. Moreover, he had a little extra time available and was willing to extend our tour to include a secluded neighborhood not usually on his tour. When we finished he even suggested visiting a museum and a wonderful cafe (both were great!). Guillermo is very experienced, punctual, knowledgeable and fun to be with. We recommend him without reservation.

Terrific guide. Very knowledgeable of social and cultural history as well as current events. He had a lovely sense of humor and was very adaptable to a couple of changing events. We highly recommend him. This particular tour gave us insight into the daily life in Buenos Aires as well as social customs and traditions. The cafes that he helped us sekect were architecturally distinctive and the food was delicious. We highly recommend him.

Guillermo is very warm, friendly and professional. He provided a wonderful experience with our customized Iconic Cafes tour. From the moment I contacted him he was very prompt in designing a few options for us to review. He was gracious enough to have a Zoom meeting so we could discuss in further detail. There was further correspondence right up until the time of the tour. It was like being with a friend sharing their wealth of knowledge about the city and its history. His service is second to none!
