My wife and I found Pablo on Trip Advisor as our guide in BA. We initially connected by email and Pablo's replies were prompt and complete. He organized our private tour and tango show. First, our tour was a pleasure. We are very experienced travelers and had Pablo for a full day city tour. He not only provided knowledgeable expertise that we are accustomed to, but also provided a unique approach to his explanations that provided a storybook approach to the sites and history of BA. Combined with his friendly personality, we were essentially on a tour with one of our "friends". With a very firsthand insight to life in BA, we were able to truly feel the city while with him. Secondly, he arranged our Tango evening and stayed exactly to our request of a more intimate experience without that bus tour feel. The club we attended allowed our own table for 2, order excellent food off the menu and professional talented dancers and singers. Pablo would be an excellent choice for a private guide.Pablo is a great tour guide and he showed us all what was offered. Everything he promised was excellent and worthwhile. He is honest and reasonable in his one day tour rate. We were 8 persons (4 families), he explained everything and made us happy and we enjoyed our trip. Thanks Pablo for everyt...

We recommend Pablo because he is a real friend in Buenos Aires.It was a great experience! Pablo made everything possible to show me Buenos Aires in the little time I had available. Very flexible, very knowledgeable and informative, absolutely perfect for me! Thanks Pablo and his driver an unforgettable unique experience!

After trekking through Patagonia for 13 days, a small group of us (five people) hired Pablo for a three-day van + walking tour through Buenos Aires. I'd never hired a private tour guide before -- and am now convinced this is the best way to see the city. Pablo's vast knowledge, friendliness, sense of humor and ability to negotiate great deals made our time in Buenos Aires truly memorable. From visiting Evita Peron's tomb and enjoying a Tango show to taking a boat ride down the Tigre River and walking through La Boca, we did it all. Hire Pablo! You will get lots of bang for your buck and you'll have a great time doing it!Pablo was truly “our friend in Buenos Aires”!!!

Pablo was truly “our friend in Buenos Aires”!!! The communication with him pre-arrival had been excellent, he dealt with every question promptly and offered lots of helpful advice, including booking us the VIP tango package at Piazzola for a very reasonable price. He was not daunted by the fact that we had to cram a lot into five hours (we only had one full day available for sightseeing in BA) and did his best to accommodate our individual interests. Most importantly, Pablo is simply an absolutely lovely person who speaks great English and is a pleasure to be around! Equally, his driver Fabian was a lovely guy who insisted on taking us to the airport the next day as well. We visited different BA neighbourhoods to explore the architecture and history and loved the tales he told us about the spite and rivalry between different leading families and political opponents (sounds like even by today’s standards, Portenos have developed spite into an art-form!) We also loved a couple of stops off the beaten track like a visit to Violeta Café (which reminded me so much of growing up in Vienna with its beautiful Art Deco windows, dark wood and miles of delicious cake vitrins!) and the fresh food market. Of course, we also went to Boca where we didn’t only see the Bombonera stadium of Boca Juniors but also were lucky enough to witness a fantastic impromptu tango performance in front of a café. Pablo, who is a tango expert, assured us that the (Colombian) couple’s skills actually surpassed that displayed in most of the regular tango shows. They were breathtaking to watch! After a delicious lunch of empanadas (we had told Pablo that we only wanted a snack), he took us to the Casa Rosada and further landmarks downtown. In the evening, he accompanied us to the Piazzola theatre to make sure that we would get a lovely balcony from which to watch the tango show. The following morning he texted us several times to make sure Fabian was taking us to the airport on time. He took his duties of looking after us very seriously and couldn’t have been a kinder, more considerate and more helpful guide! Gracias, Pablo, and I promise I’ll keep practising my Argentine “ll”!!!We booked a day-tour with Pablo a few weeks prior to our trip to Buenos Aires.

We booked a day-tour with Pablo a few weeks prior to our trip to Buenos Aires. The day-tour was wonderful and we had a lot of fun. Although our stay in Buenos Aires was limited to a few days, Pablo provided us a great variety of impressions and experiences in the city. It was not only about seeing the major sights. rather, Pablo offered a mix of classic sights and authentic places away from the guidebooks. The tour was very much customized to our interests. Pablo is very nice, well-informed and has a good sense of humor. He also provided us a lot of helpful information beyond the tour regarding restaurants, nightlife etc. Pablo also organized an exceptionally friendly driver so we were always mobile and could enjoy our activities in BA in a very comfortable manner. Overall, we can strongly recommend Pablo for a private tour in BA.
