I was born in Patagonia and have lived in the La Boca neighborhood for five years. My greatest wish is that anyone who comes to Argentina, upon setting foot on this land, feels a little bit Argentine. This would be a great honor and bring me immense satisfaction. For the Argentine heart, in our land, no one is a foreigner if they come with the desire to feel like one of our brothers and sisters. That heart and that brotherhood are what we offer most sincerely and most preciously.
Natalia took us on a wonderful tour yesterday in La Boca, Buenos Aires, with real passion and energy, bringing to life the history of a neighborhood where the true heart of the city beats. She’s deeply knowledgeable about the history of Buenos Aires, and especially La Boca: she seems to know every corner and every story. She also took the time to answer all of our (endless!) questions with patience and enthusiasm. I recommend this tour without hesitation to anyone visiting Buenos Aires. Thank you, Natalia, for such a memorable experience!
I was not able to make the tour on time. Pedro, the tour guide, shared his live location so that I could find him and joined. We visited many places away from the tourist area, including the fire station that is like a little museum with old fire trucks. He walked a bit fast between stops so it was a little difficult to catch up sometimes since I have a heart condition and cannot walk too fast. It was ok when I can see him from a distance and I was able to catch up when he stopped and talked. However, when we got to the caminita, I lost him since it was very crowded. Fortunately I got his WhatsApp number from prior communication and was able to find him by texting him. Overall, a good tour that gives you a more comprehensive view of La Boca where I would not be able to venture into the differennt areas he showed us by myself.

I felt as though I was brought to small areas of cultural importance that I would never have found on my own. And even if I had, I'd never know what these areas and pockets meant to Argentinians without a guide. Very interesting tour. I really loved it.
