Good food experiences fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 11 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Join a small group of up to 10 for a 210-minute food walk through Palermo. Your guide, such as Paula, Claudio, Lu, or Ezequiel, leads you to four restaurants for eight or more Argentine dishes, wine, steak, street art, and local stories.
“Great tour led by Gaby through Palermo. Great food choices and good value for money”
Walk Palermo Soho with a guide such as Lucy, Martin, Amalia, or Eliab, stopping for Argentine classics including empanadas, fire-grilled steak, choripan, mate, alfajor, and gelato. The three-hour tour serves generous portions in a group capped at 12, with the menu and route subject to change.
“Our tour guide, Martin, was spectacular. We went to five different places and experienced a variety of foods from pizza to choripan (Palermo style) to mate and chocolate to some of the best steak I've ever tasted. We ended with tasty and rich scoops of Italian ice cream. The pace was fun and relaxing. Along the way we learned a lot from Martin about Argentinian food, culture, and people. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to experience Palermo: the food, the fun, and fabulous vibe of the neighborhood.”
Spend 210 minutes walking San Telmo with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide, beginning at El Federal Bar and ending near Av. San Juan. Taste street food, drinks, market dishes, regional specialties, and dessert while guides such as Dennis, Kiki, Lu, and Maya connect Argentine food with local history.
“It was an incredible experience. Kiki was a phenomenal guide—very knowledgeable and engaging with the group! I will 100% recommend this to friends.”
Meet your local guide at 5:30 pm on Lavalle Street for a three-and-a-half-hour food walk through central Buenos Aires. Taste empanadas, milanesa, Buenos Aires-style pizza, Argentine wine, coffee, and ice cream. Guides such as Lara and Adrián also share food traditions and city history.
“Lara made this experience memorable, as it was a public holiday and a very rainy day I had a personal tour with just Lara and myself. Initially I was concerned as we spent a lot of time at just one restaurant trying many dishes but given the weather this was just want we needed. We did venture to 2 other venues and the gelato was a great way to finish. I appreciate that Lara spent way more than the allotted time with me to give me time to digest given that it was just me on my own. This was very reasonably priced.”
Spend 2 to 3 hours tasting Argentine classics, browsing San Telmo Market, watching tango near Plaza Dorrego, and visiting leather and food shops near La Bombonera. Guide Fred is known for his humor, local insight, and flexible pacing. Lunch, tastings, and wine are included.
“Fede was an excellent guide. Very attentive since contacting us with time. He explained the exact details of typical Buenos Aires food. We ate at ease, offered drinks of all kinds and even a few glasses of wine. It was not limited to any gastronomic tour, it moved us to see details of the city as a local: Street Tango, a market, antique exhibition, guided us in souvenir shopping, worried that we are comfortable and already finished the tour until we took us to our hotel as a great detail of Closing activities. Super hospitable. And we love your mate 😄.Auto-translated”
Join local guide Antonella for a 270-minute food tour through Mendoza. Visit four restaurants, pair Argentine dishes with wine, hear about irrigation channels and city history, and finish with dessert, vermouth, cocktails, and rooftop views.
“Conhecer um pouco de cada restaurante ajuda a aliviar a dúvida dentre tantas centenas de opções em Mendoza. Ainda pudemos conhecer mais sobre a história do local.”
Let an English, Spanish, or Portuguese-speaking guide lead you from Plaza de Mayo and San Telmo to La Boca, Recoleta, Teatro Colón, and El Ateneo. This 3 to 5-hour tour includes hotel pickup, small groups of up to 16, and an optional empanada snack.
“Alles soweit super nur bei den Stopps hätten wir uns ein paar Minuten mehr Zeit gewünscht. Unser Transfer zum Tourbeginn hat unnötig lange gedauert, weil wir einen Umweg gefahren sind”
See Buenos Aires with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide in a group of up to 15. Visit Plaza de Mayo, San Telmo, Caminito, Puerto Madero, Recoleta, El Ateneo, and Floralis Genérica, then finish with local street food. Guides include Franco, Vanessa, and Llorana.
“We enjoyed our tour very much, and Vanessa was very good at explaining what we were doing and the history of each neighbourhood. When our lunch itinerary was closed, she was able to change things up, and we had a very nice meal at the new location.”
Spend three hours walking Palermo, Old Palermo, and Palermo Soho with an English-speaking local foodie. Taste steak with chimichurri, empanadas, choripán, alfajores, yerba mate, and a secret dish, with history and culture along the way.
