Today my son and I decided to do some market research by checking out the new bus tour of Buenos Aires. And he was very excited to take some pictures. Honestly, I cringe at the thought of taking a bus tour with a bunch of strangers without having control of the tour. I think bus tours only work when your group is very larger and I always recommend private tours for smaller groups.
Based on my experience today and any other day I’ve taken bus tours anywhere else in the world:
All I have to say is you get what you pay for!
Why BAlocal Private Guided Tours are sooooo worth it!
Spalding University from Kentucky, USA, brought 60 creative writing grad students to Buenos Aires for inspiration and fun! BAlocal’s lead guide, Chance Miller, took them on the Paris of South America walking tour that included uncovering the stories of Recoleta Cemetery, a stroll down Avenida de Alvear for eclectic architectural finds (10 different palaces) and monuments as well as beautifully and strategically landscape park. He gave details to history and culture vividly painting a picture of how life was in Buenos Aires when it was considered the wealthest country (1870-1930) to today.

For the beginning of the week long events, the group started an opening cocktail dinner at Sette Bacco, Buenos Aires’ exclusive Italian restaurant located in the heart of Recoleta. The food was delicious and the group had an amazing time getting to know each other for their upcoming events. As described by Katy Yokom, Spalding’s coordinator, “dinner was spectacular! A smashing success!”Chance Miller, man-about-town, and Elizabeth Gleeson, artist & art connoisseur, hit up local sightseeing spots with two stops at major museums from the fine arts to contemporary work from local Argentine artists. They finished up the tour at an artist house chatting about art while nibbling on cheese and sipping Argentina’s finest wine.


The BUZZ is Buenos Aires is breeding a good stock of avant garde artists and everyone wants a piece! Elizabeth Gleeson, BAlocal’s new art gallery tour guide and one of BAs newest artists, takes visitors to top and off-the-beaten-path galleries exposing you to the world of contemporary art. Well connected in Buenos Aires’ thriving art scene, Liz helps you find your very own precious artwork on her private gallery tour, whether it’s underground graffiti or traditional landscapes. She is also the ‘artistic eye’ voice on Urbana 89.5′s BAlive show every Thursday at 9pm.
This past weekend, I had a wonderful getaway at the Roble Estancia Inside the Pampas. The owners Jaime and Totty made us feel right at home with one of the best asados I’ve had in Argentina, fresh baked cakes and bread, horseback riding and walks throughout the land and an absolutely breathtaking sunset. This was no tourist attraction, this was my friends and I at a real-working ranch out in the middle of nature, yet only an hour and half away from Buenos Aires. The only sounds we heard were cows mooing, firewood crackling, horse hooves trotting, parakeets chirping and our own intimate conversations. Its just what I needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I highly recommend a trip out to Estancia El Roble!
In April, BAlocal took a NYTimes journalist on tour to discover an up-and-coming neighborhood, untouched by tourists yet is the talk of the locals. That neighborhood would be Barracas – bordering San Telmo and La Boca, its packed with tons of history and is going through an enormous gentrification process. We scouted out historical sights, new chic restaurants, B&Bs, shows, old factories turned into lofts and a huge bohemian art scene painted all over the streets and hard-to-find galleries. Unfortunately, the editor cut out anything about BAlocal guiding the tour so I thought I’d mention the article. Here you go, June 7, 2009 – In Buenos Aires, A New Revival:
