Welcome to Guruwalk. I'm Gabriela, you can also call me Lizzie. I have a very adventurous and restless spirit. Thanks to this I like to create and design to offer and enjoy different experiences, even if it is the historic center. I love to travel, explore nature, learn about cultures and languages, curiosities. Buenos Aires is my birthplace and a huge city with a lot to do and explore. My theme is based on exploring the historic center through history because I think that if we do not know what is behind a monument, an architecture, a museum, etc. it would be almost impossible to interpret it and learn to take care of it. And at the same time, why not, look at it from another point of view. I want to generate the same thing in these cultural encounters and be able to transmit to them through history, art, anecdotes and of course national gastronomy an experience and a memory forever. I invite you to explore and experience the historic center of Buenos Aires. You just have to put on your sneakers and be willing to share and learn about other cultures. Are you ready? Let's go cheee!! And as Antonio Machado says: "Walker are your footprints, the path and nothing more; Walker there is no path, the path is made by walking"

Me gustó mucho el tour, Gabriela tiene mucho conocimiento sobre el barrio de La Boca, sin embargo nos pareció que fue muy breve el circuito.

Gabriela es excelente guía, se preocupa porque verdaderamente te lleves un poco del lugar que has conocido en el corazón. El ritmo y la ruta del tour son adecuados. Además, incluyó en la visita un par de paradas para que probáramos comida local. Muy buena experiencia!!

Falta información más interesante. Su información fue muy repetitiva. Su dicción era lenta y se sentía un ambiente de cansancio.
