Overview

This six-hour private car tour in Buenos Aires provides a detailed look at the city's main historic and cultural sites along with some less-visited locations. The guide and driver are fully vaccinated. The tour begins with a stop at Plaza de Mayo, the political center of Argentina, where the guide explains the city’s history, economy, politics, and culture during a one-hour walk around the square. Next, the group visits Catedral Primada, the church where Pope Francis celebrated mass, and sees the Mausoleum of General San Martin inside. The itinerary continues with a 30-minute visit to La Recoleta Cemetery, an outdoor museum of sculptures and tombs including the grave of Evita Peron; admission tickets are not included and must be paid on site. There is also a stop at Teatro Colon, regarded as one of the world’s top opera houses. The tour passes through Puerto Madero, the newest district, where guests cross the Puente de la Mujer bridge designed by Santiago Calatrava. In La Boca, the former port area where tango originated 150 years ago, visitors spend 45 minutes viewing colorful houses and hearing stories of immigrants. San Telmo, the oldest neighborhood, offers a 45-minute visit to its antiques shops, bars, and food market. Other stops include the elegant Recoleta neighborhood with its French-style mansions, Palermo Chico where many embassies are located, and Bosques de Palermo, a large park area similar to Central Park. The tour also drives along Avenida 9 de Julio, the world’s widest avenue with 16 lanes, and stops at the Obelisco monument, built in 1936 to commemorate the city’s founding. Casa Rosada, the government house with Evita’s famous balcony, and the Piramide de Mayo at Plaza de Mayo are included. A brief visit to the Museo Nacional del Cabildo de Buenos Aires y de la Revolucion de Mayo, the old city hall, is part of the route.
