We are Juan and Pablo, creators of Urban Explorers, and we want to invite you to discover Buenos Aires through a different lens. Juan from Mendoza and Pablo from Córdoba have lived in this city for over 35 years, which we love deeply despite (and thanks to) its chaos. Juan is a lawyer in the public education sector and passionate about Argentine political history. Pablo is a graduate in Foreign Trade with experience as an international travel coordinator and a lover of economic history. We are passionate about telling stories: not just dates and historical figures, but experiences that allow you to experience the city, philosophize together, and even make sense of the incomprehensible aspects of Buenos Aires. Free walking tours found us almost by chance, but today they are the way we give our best to what we are most passionate about: the history and urban life of Buenos Aires. More than a guided tour, we want you to live an authentic, fun, and thoughtful experience, where the city reveals itself through its secrets, contrasts, and characters. We look forward to walking, sharing, and discovering Buenos Aires together!

Tour description

Do you want to discover Buenos Aires from its origins to its most surprising secrets? We invite you to walk the city and discover not only its official history, but also the legends, curiosities, and contradictions that made it the Queen of the River Plate.

From Plaza de Mayo and the Casa Rosada to the National Congress, we'll explore the places where the republic was born. But we'll also explore the unexpected: myths, hidden stories, unforgettable characters, moments of splendor and chaos.

We'll explore a city reminiscent of Madrid and Paris, where neoclassical architecture, Art Nouveau, the ghosts of history, and the echoes of tango coexist. We'll talk about viceroys and dictators, poets and presidents, Evita, Gardel, soccer fervor, mate, and Malbec. And yes, we'll also discuss some of the fake news that helped build the Buenos Aires myth.

An experience designed for those seeking to understand Buenos Aires beyond the postcards.
