I'm a guide born and raised in La Boca, a daughter of the neighborhood and proud of its history and its people. My passion is sharing the essence of this unique Buenos Aires neighborhood with every visitor, where tango, football, and art blend seamlessly with everyday life. Not only was I born in the neighborhood, but I'm also a Boca Juniors fan! My tour isn't just a visit; it's an experience that invites us to feel the neighborhood's identity, walk its streets like any other resident, and discover the history of our immigrants, the workers, the artists, and the mystique of La Bombonera, which transforms every match into a cultural celebration. Don't miss our tour! For tours in English, please contact me directly via message.
