Tasty way to know Buenos Aires!

Stan guided us through the rich colorful historic San Telmo district. We visited six different “food” venues (two were dessert). A dynamic, warm and friendly guide I highly recommend the food tour with Stan for any visitors who want to know the culture of Buenos Aires!

Gastronomic tour through SAN Telma

A light, rich, gastronomic, and fun experience! It was a very nice day with a small group exploring SAN Telmo

Fun food tour

We did the tour with Lu today and it was excellent! I am gluten free and was fully accommodated at all stops with authentic local food. The market is a destination itself but it’s great to get the colour and context from Lu.

Very good. In a small group. Luce was very friendly, smiling. Delighted to share her culture.

Great food and local knowledge tour

Lu was an absolutely great host. Her knowledge of the cuisine and local customs were fun and interesting. We both just loved it.
