Hi! My name is Paola, and after being a professional as an Accountant for some years, I decided to change my life and follow my passion: Buenos Aires. I've been a tour guide since 2012. I'm passionate about showing every corner of my city and passing on everything I know about it. There are so many things to appreciate in Buenos Aires: museums, food, tango, notable cafés, specialized stores, architecture, history, and customs, let's discover it together. I'm also a guided touring professor at San Martín National University and organize tours for local people to neighborhoods that are off the tourist circuit in the city. I am studying a master's degree in world history, and I have a Diploma in Buenos Aires History and Argentinian Culture. I really love Buenos Aires and I hope you do so…. I also have a car, Volkswagen T-Cross, so If you want we can move around in it. I'm flexible and all my tours can be customized according to your own interest. See You soon!!

Overview of your Buenos Aires tour

If you want to understand our architecture, costumes, the filleting, the tango, the "lunfardo" and many other things of our culture, this is your tour! The key of all these elements is the immigration. We received 6 million Europeans during the end of the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th Century, and of course that generated an impact in the city you are about to visit. We'll visit the natural harbour of La Boca, but also the first constructed Harbour in Buenos Aires: Puerto Madero; haven for large numbers of immigrants. Its warehouses and picturesque train station. We'll get inside a corrugated metal clad "conventillo" (tenement houses) that used to provide shelter to immigrants and today hosts a Cultural Centre. We'll also get a grasp of the art of Boca through its large murals reflecting different social issues and the Museum of Fine Art of La Boca. We'll observe some old buildings that hosted anarchist newspapers and bordellos in the early 20th century and two local icons of football.

Paola was a wonderful guide and our tour was fantastic!! It was a perfect way to understand a lot of facts about Buenos Aires, its people, culture, and developmen; past and present history. She is very knowlegable and has a great way to explain and transmit the information. We enjoyed every moment we spent with her.

Paola was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and organized. She clearly loved her job, and was enthusiastic about each and every spot she showed us. We were completely intrigued by the history provided, and would not have learned and enjoyed nearly as much without her tour. Thank you for all of your hard work and professionalism! My husband and I enjoyed spending the day with you.

Paola was extremely knowledgeable about the social history that shaped today's Argentina. It was an enjoyable and informative tour and I have learned so much from Paola with her deep knowledge. An excellent introduction to the diverse history of this beautiful country. Paola was professional, friendly and approachable.
