Excelente! Valió la pena! Una piensa que no hay nada más que parques, un paseo al aire libre lindo, nomás. Entonces llega Agustín y le pone contenido, cultura, historia, arquitectura y ahí te das cuenta todo lo que te habías perdido, lo que mirabas sin ver. Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de crear este lindo homenaje a la ciudad, para pasear con conocimiento.

Joaquín is a wonderful guide and great storyteller. He’s passionate about the area, having grown up there himself, and sharing his love of life. Very hospitable guide. It’s inspiring to meet locals who believe in the vibrancy of their city, and who can see the nuances of all the changes, the struggles, and the hopes of many generations. Thanks ☺️! (Ps if you book the tour the day before online, there’s a chance the platform will not notify the guide in time, so I suggest you use the WhatsApp number provided to contact the guide and verify the tour is taking place. In my case, no notification was sent from the platform in time to the guide, which caused a mixup and a tour delay of 1.5 hours, none of which was within the control of the guide).

Very interesting and personal tour of the less touristy side of Buenos Aires. We really enjoyed learning about this beautiful and unique neighborhood as well as so much history of tango and the rich arts of the area. Thank you for taking the time to tour with just the two of us!

The tour exceeded our expectations. Joaquin entertained us with engaging stories and shared clear, insightful information about his neighborhood, making the experience both enjoyable and memorable. We see the other side of town because of this tour. Something unforgettable. Thank you.

Joaquin is passionate about the Abasto area and its history. I didn’t know much about BA history, but Joaquin explained it so clearly and with so much enthusiasm for preserving this historic place. I better understand the multiple dynamics that made Buenos Aires what it is today and the role that Tango music and dance played. Joaquin genuinely transferred his love for this area he grew up in, and the admiration he has for Carlos Gardel to me. He even sings and plays the guitar, just like Carlos Gardel did. I’m looking forward to learning more at the Carlos Gardel museum. I give Joaquin 5 stars for transferring his love for this area to me….I highly recommend this tour

Pedro came for the tour even though I was the only person. I couldn’t understand why this was because it was extremely interesting and informative about the History of Buenos Aires and got into the soul of tango, music and dance. Pedro was very enthusiastic, had some amazing old photos of how the people lived in the Abasto area and knew about the history, rises and falls of the people and buildings in the area, these we visited. He was willing to put me in touch with people and venues that would help me develop my interests. Altogether à fantastic experience, Pedro was a perfect guide, I highly recommend this tour.

Joaquín was very passionate about tango and about his neighborhood that he knew as the back of his hand. It gave me a deeper insight to tango, which I am already familiar with and I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in tango or the history of this fascinating neighborhood.

Joaquín nació en la zona del Abasto y tiene un conocimiento muy amplio sobre su historia y los personajes que formaron parte y dieron vida al barrio. A través del recorrido vimos los contrastes que todavía existen entre el ayer y hoy. Los frentes de las casas pintadas con la técnica del fileteado, la tranquilidad del barrio con calles empedradas, la visita al museo “Carlos Gardel” son algunos de los atractivos más importantes del tour.
