Day 1: Guided City Tour
Your local guide will meet you at the airport to accompany you to your hotel. After you settle in, you will head out this afternoon on an exclusive, guided City Tour of Buenos Aires, during which your guide will use four parks and plazas to introduce you to the city, its history, its contrasts, and the characteristic “porteño perspective.” The evening is free to discover the city – perhaps strolling along the harbor at Puerto Madero or through the trendy Palermo Viejo neighborhood. We’ll provide a list of restaurant recommendations for your first dinner out on the town.

Day 2: Explore the City, Evening Tango Show

In the evening we will attend a glamorous tango show with dinner in one of the most prestigious tango houses in Buenos Aires.
