Testimonials:

“If I get to visit Argentina again I will definitely hit Sebastian up even just to hang out. He’s such a dynamic and engaging person. He knows so much about the city, about the culture, and about what LGBTQ life in Argentina is about.

He can show you things about the city that no one else can. From the time I booked Sebastian, he was prompt in reaching out to understand what my particular interests might be for Buenos Aires so the tour could be tailored to me. Whether it’s food, art, monuments, museums, history, or LGBTQ culture or nightlife, Sebastian has you covered.

Without his help, I would have only seen about 10% of the interesting parts of Buenos Aires. He really helped me to organize my time there and give good suggestions on how to spend my time wisely.

Because of my time with Sebastian, we visited some great places. He helped me get reservations to eat at some fantastic restaurants. I saw and experienced some amazing things. But best of all, I was able to get a small glimpse of what it’s like to be queer in Argentina. And that’s what I will always remember. And that’s why I want to go back. I have Sebastian to thank for that.” – Tran, USA

“Sebastian, is a great tour guide. Nothing was too much trouble. I consider myself a very demanding tourist, but Sebastian seemed to anticipate all my accommodations. Highly recommend his professional approach.” – David, UK

Highlights of Buenos Aires

Discover why people call Buenos Aires “the city of many passions.” The people are called “Porteños,” the people of the port. They have immigrant blood, they are passionate. Therefore, they always give big embraces and always greet with a kiss.

Tables are always crowded with friends, uncles and aunts, cousins, children, brothers and sisters, and they talk for hours. They don’t speak Spanish; they speak porteño. This is their own unique dialect that is part of the city’s identity. The taxi drivers are poets and philosophers. A football match is a spectacle everyone must experience at least once.

You may find the locals a little noisy. However in Buenos Aires, you can be sure about one thing, you’ll feel part of the city. And when you leave to say adios, you’ll leave your mark and take something of BA with you.

Tango

Full of sensuality and nostalgia. Tango is a big part of Buenos Aires’ identity. Watch and join in and perhaps you’ll even leave dancing like a local.

Forged through a fusion of European, African and native Argentine influences. Developed in the working class immigrant neighbourhoods in the mid-19th century. By the 30s, tango had taken Buenos Aires, and the world, by storm with its romance and daringly close embrace.

Today Buenos Aires remains the world capital of tango. There are plenty of professional stage shows, musical performances, tango schools, tango-themed cafes and hotels. In addition to all of this, there are the milongas, traditional social gatherings to which amateur dancers return night after night in search of the perfect embrace.
