What people are saying about Buenos Aires

This was by far one of my favorite things here in Argentina. I already knew how to make empanadas and I am no newbie to cooking, yet still learned SO MUCH. The instructor was very sweet and knew exactly what she was doing. This was definitely an experience! You learn how to make traditional empanadas and alfajores while learning a lot about the Argentine culture. The instructor was such a fun person to chat with as we cooked together and later ate what we made together with some wine.

Nicolas and also the translator, we’re both so great at making us feel happy during the tour. The endless food and entertainment was amazing! I got to ride a horse, eat great fresh food, and watch live tango and Gaucho performances. Highly recommend, this was one of my highlights during my Argentine vacation.

It was a great activity to do in Buenos Aires and our guide was lovely, very helpful and kind plus she was also very knowledgeable we enjoyed the day very much thank you

Packed a lot in in 4 hours and gave us great ideas/suggestions for what to do/see in BA for rest of trip. Very knowledgeable and fun guide

The time on your own was a bit too long. Would have liked to have the option of returning on the 6:30 pm ferry instead.
