Hi everyone! My name is Guillermo Sebastian Gentile and I consider myself a creator of unique and wonderful memories. I love being an experienced and professional Licensed Tour Guide with over 2 decades working on this field in Argentina and traveling around the world as a tour conductor for various important companies. In order to prepare myself for such a big responsability I went to University and have had numerous seminars to be educated. I'm in love with my city and I am really convinced visiting Buenos Aires should be vibrant, unique, passionate, colorful and full of exciting experiences and flavours. In my tours we will go to places where only real professionals know about it, those hidden places and those complicated things to talk about it as well. 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, 2005, 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. I am working with Tours by Locals since 2023 and I love it, every couple, family and group of friends had been sensational. I do greatly encourage you to read the reviews my past travelers have written for you to get to know me better. Before becoming a Professional Tour Guide I was a Pro Basketball player in Argentina playing for Boca Juniors and Velez Sarsfield. 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. My goal to 2027 is to go back to the courts and compete again, fingers crossed. 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 and delivered tours in 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 Buenos Aires 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!
