Buenos Aires · LA BOCA & CAMINITO TOURS
Caminito is three streets long and the rest of La Boca is a working port neighbourhood, which is why a guide is worth the money here. These 6 cover the painted lanes, the stadium and the shipyard, priced and clear about where the walk ends.
Walk La Boca with an English-speaking guide such as Santiago, Vito, Victoria, or Maria. See colorful conventillos, street tango, fileteado art, the riverside Transbordador bridge, and finish at La Bombonera. The $13 tour takes two hours, with stadium entry sold separately.
“Fantastic guide! We really enjoyed learning about the history of the La Boca neighborhood.”
Take a 45-minute Sturla Viajes boat ride from Puerto Madero toward La Boca, with Spanish, English, and Portuguese audio. See the Ecological Reserve, waterfront towers, the Riachuelo, and the Nicolás Avellaneda Transporter Bridge, then get off near Caminito.
“muy buena siempre la utilizó cuando viajo a otro país, lo recomiendo👍”
Cycle a mostly flat route through San Telmo, La Boca, Puerto Madero, the Ecological Reserve, and Plaza de Mayo. You’ll ride a beach cruiser, hear local history in English or Spanish, and stop for tango, colorful streets, monuments, and photos. Guides such as Nestor, Barbie, Flo, and Leo have earned strong praise.
“The bike ride was something special and a lot of fun. The tour guide did a really good job at explaining historical aspects and monuments throughout BA! I hadn't rode a bike in 30 plus years, but the experience was the best and any one that does this tour should have a great time!”
Walk La Boca with guide Nico from Caminito through less-touristed streets, learning how immigrants, artists, bakers, and football shaped the district. Stop for local pastries, study its street art, and finish outside La Bombonera. The small group lasts about two hours and costs $65.
“We learned so much from Nico about the La Boca neighborhood and its people. He showed us and gave us information that went beyond the basic tourist information. I enjoyed seeing and learning about the local artwork and trying local pastries.”
Walk La Boca with a Spanish, English, or Portuguese-speaking guide such as Facundo, Laura, or Dani. Visit La Bombonera, Conventillo El Rincon de Lucia, and the Benito Quinquela Martín Museum, with two extras: museum entry, wine, or dulce de leche tasting.
“Ludmila was a fantastic guide! I enjoyed the La Boca tour and learning about the neighborhood.”
Ride from Montserrat through San Telmo, La Boca, Caminito, the ecological reserve, Puerto Madero, and Plaza de Mayo. A guide such as Ana, Santiago, Florencia, or Sofía leads the small group, with history, photo stops, bike lanes, and time to explore Caminito.
“This was an excellent tour. Sofiá was very knowledgable and friendly and answered all of my questions. She made sure to check I was comfortable with the bike and as I was the only person on the tour she spoke about topics I was particularly interested in. The bike tour was a great way to see a lot of the south of the city in a short time. I learned a lot about Buenos Aires and Sofiá also recommended other things to see and do in BA which was really helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour.”
Pick a barrio, a table or a night at the theatre.
