Recoleta Free Tour: Following in the Footsteps of the Aristocracy

Discover the charm of one of Buenos Aires' most fascinating neighborhoods: Recoleta. On this tour, I'll take you to explore its most sophisticated corners, where history, art, and architecture intertwine to tell the story of a city that aspired to become a global cultural powerhouse at the beginning of the 20th century.

You'll tour impressive palaces, European-style mansions, and monuments that have witnessed the splendor of Buenos Aires. Throughout the tour, I'll reveal the secrets of the most influential families of the time, who left their mark on these majestic buildings.

We'll also learn about the work of French landscaper Carlos Thays, who transformed a barren city into an urban garden and left behind a priceless green legacy. His vision made Buenos Aires a city filled with parks and green spaces, which today beautify and enliven its historic streets and avenues.

This tour is not only a journey into the past, but also a unique experience to discover the city's cultural and architectural evolution.
Get ready to see it with new eyes!

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!
