What you can expect

Meet your guide and set off on a 3-hour bilingual (English/Spanish) small-group food walking tour through San Telmo, the city's oldest and most atmospheric area. Discover cobblestone streets, a century-old covered market, tango dancers in the plaza, street art, and some of the best bites in the city.

Follow your bilingual local guide to 4 iconic stops, where you'll taste 10 authentic Argentine dishes. Begin at the legendary Mercado San Telmo — a covered market inaugurated in 1897 that remains the city's gastronomic heart — and sample classic empanadas, local cheeses, and cured meats from traditional market stalls.

Next, stop at a traditional parrilla for choripan with chimichurri sauce — Buenos Aires' most beloved street food, eaten standing up just like a porteño. Then visit a local artisan shop to taste dulce de leche in all its forms, the iconic Argentine spread consumed more per capita here than anywhere else in the world.

Round off the experience with a glass of Argentine Malbec or a traditional mate ceremony, where your guide will teach you the ritual of preparing and sharing the gourd. Along the way, stroll the beautiful cobblestone streets of Balcarce and Defensa, spot the smallest house in the city, and hear the stories behind the food, the area, and Buenos Aires itself.

Tour is conducted in both English and Spanish throughout. Maximum 12 guests per group for a truly personal experience.
