5.00I had one final day in BA before heading home in the evening. I signed up for this tour with Martin and couldn’t have had a better time! There were three of us total and no shortage of food! Martin was a wealth of knowledge about Buenos Aires and local customs and we had a great three hours of sightseeing and delicious food! Thanks for making my last day memorable!!

5.00This tour is about sampling the different tastes of Buenos Aries while gaining an insight into the Palermo neighbourhood. We were treated to delicious foods from five locations while our guide, Martin Andres talked about the influences that have made this district what it is today. Martin was friendly and engaging and very informative.

5.00Our Secret Food Tour in Buenos Aires was truly unforgettable! As a couple, we loved how the experience combined delicious food with fascinating stories about Argentine culture and history. Eliab, our guide, was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing the best local flavors. We didn’t expect the tour to be private, so it felt like a special, tailor-made journey just for us, which made everything even more enjoyable. The tour took place in Palermo, the perfect area to explore and try authentic Argentine cuisine. Throughout the tour, we savored a wonderful variety of dishes—from classic empanadas and choripán sandwiches to delightful alfajores. But the absolute highlight for us was the steak — perfectly grilled, juicy, and bursting with flavor. It truly showcased why Argentine steak is world-renowned. This tour was the perfect way to dive deep into Buenos Aires’ vibrant food scene and discover hidden culinary gems. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Buenos Aires through its incredible cuisine!
SFT never disappoints!
