Private Buenos Aires Tours, Designed Around Your Interests

Buenos Aires moves at many speeds at once: the colonial cobblestones of San Telmo, the Parisian boulevards of Recoleta, the design studios of Palermo and rooftop restaurants of Puerto Madero, and the riverside quiet of El Tigre just beyond the city limits. For over 15 years, we've designed private, custom Buenos Aires itineraries that go beyond the postcard version of the city—built around how you actually want to spend your time, whether that's gastronomy, architecture, tango culture, or all three.

For most international travelers, Buenos Aires is also the natural starting or ending point of a longer private Argentina itinerary, connecting seamlessly to Patagonia, Mendoza, or Iguazú Falls. We handle the full routing from day one, so the city never feels like a layover—it becomes a destination in its own right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most private Buenos Aires itineraries run 3 to 5 days, enough to move between neighborhoods at your own pace, arrange a private tango experience, and include a day trip to El Tigre or the pampas at San Antonio de Areco. Travelers combining Buenos Aires with Patagonia or Iguazú typically allocate 3 days to the city and build from there.

Yes—combining Buenos Aires and Patagonia in one private itinerary is one of the most requested routes, connected through domestic flights. A well-paced itinerary typically opens in Buenos Aires before heading south to El Calafate, El Chaltén, or Torres del Paine, or reverses the order depending on flight availability and seasonal timing.

A private Buenos Aires tour with a dedicated local guide moves the experience beyond Recoleta Cemetery and La Boca into the city's lesser-known layers: such as enjoying private culinary tours through traditional, authentic neighborhoods, discovering the history of the city inside its iconic historic cafés, or accessing a genuine, working tango milonga.

Yes—both El Tigre and the Paraná Delta and the gaucho town of San Antonio de Areco make natural private day trips from Buenos Aires, adding a completely different texture to a city-focused itinerary without requiring an overnight stay.

A private Buenos Aires itinerary typically includes dedicated local guides, private transfers between neighborhoods and airports, handpicked boutique hotel options, and curated experiences such as private tango lessons, chef-led market visits, or custom winery dinners—each selected individually rather than bundled from a fixed package.

Yes—most private multi-region Argentina itineraries begin or end in Buenos Aires, since it serves as the country's main international hub. From there, regional flights connect directly to Patagonia, Iguazú Falls, and Mendoza, making it the most efficient anchor point for a longer journey across the country.

Private itineraries in Buenos Aires can often be arranged with shorter notice than Patagonia, where peak-season accommodation fills months ahead. That said, for trips combining Buenos Aires with Patagonia or Iguazú during December–February, booking 3 to 6 months in advance is recommended to secure the full route.

Yes—Buenos Aires and Mendoza pair naturally into a 7 to 9 day private itinerary, connected by a short domestic flight. Most itineraries allocate 3 days to Buenos Aires and 3 to 4 days in Mendoza's Uco Valley, combining city culture with private winery visits and Andes scenery.

Best Places to Visit in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires divides into distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character and pace — the eight below cover the city's full range for a private Buenos Aires tour.

  • Recoleta — French-inspired architecture around the Recoleta Cemetery private tour stop — Eva Perón's tomb among elaborate 19th-century mausoleums — plus the city's best museums and café terraces.

  • Palermo — The city's design and gastronomy center. A private Palermo Buenos Aires food tour covers Palermo Soho's boutique shops and Palermo Hollywood's chef-driven restaurants in the same afternoon.

  • San Telmo — Cobblestone streets, the Sunday antique market, and the neighborhood where tango first took root. The San Telmo private tango tour includes a traditional milonga with live orchestra.

  • La Boca — The Caminito's colored facades and the working-class port history behind them. A private La Boca guide explains the neighborhood beyond the postcard image — including its football culture at La Bombonera.

  • Puerto Madero — The restored 19th-century dock district, now Buenos Aires's most modern waterfront — glass towers, riverfront promenades, and the city's highest-end dining.

  • Teatro Colón & Cultural Corridors — One of the world's top five opera houses by acoustics. A private Teatro Colón tour Buenos Aires covers the building's gold leaf interior even outside performance nights.

  • El Tigre & the Paraná Delta — A private boat through the delta's river channels — completely different terrain from the city, 45 minutes away. The El Tigre Delta private boat tour is the most popular Buenos Aires day trip in the catalog.

  • San Antonio de Areco & the Countryside — The pampas' gaucho heritage town — silversmith workshops, horseback riding, and an estancia lunch. The San Antonio de Areco private day trip delivers rural Argentina without an overnight stay.

Southwind from the planning stages to delivery of the trip in Patagonia were faultless and I really love the little reminders sent for each separate stage and really appreciated the added bits around passport checking and border crossing paperwork. The whole team was super friendly, and for our trip with Fernando he was great company and knew where to stop for refreshments and a view! We would strongly recommend southwind, they go the extra mile on service and have a permanent smile. Thank you guys you were faultless.

I had a great experience with Southwind. They organized a tour for us to visit Monte Leon from El Calafate. Fernando & Laura organized the logistics and were very helpful. Martin accompanied us on the tour and doubled up as driver and tour guide, which was beyond our expectations. We saw a lot of wildlife en route, as well as in the park with Martin’s help. I highly recommend Southwind for your Patagonia experience.

The agency proved to be extremely professional. During the long transfer, in an impeccably clean and perfectly maintained vehicle, Mr. Fernando was very attentive to ensure that everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this agency for organizing your trips to South America. Only 5 stars because I can't give more!

Maria and her team looked after us so well. I would recommend them in a flash. It was 20 years since I had been to El Calafate so I didn't know what to expect. It had changed so much! Maria was helpful, honest, well priced and a pleasure to work with. You could not ask for more. We had the best time thanks to Maria and her organisation. Fernando was our driver to a tour and a delight. Punctual, knowledgeable and all round wonderful. Gracias!!

Salta is a 2-hour direct flight from Buenos Aires into Argentina's most culturally distinct region — colonial architecture, pre-Columbian heritage, and a landscape that shifts from green valleys to the red canyon walls of the Quebrada de las Conchas within a single day's drive. The Buenos Aires Salta connection works well as a 3 to 4-day addition before or after the capital.

A direct 1.5-hour flight from Buenos Aires connects the capital to 275 waterfalls across the Argentina-Brazil border — the most requested extension from a Buenos Aires-based itinerary. Combined with the Iberá Wetlands' jaguar rewilding program and capybara-filled lagoons, the Buenos Aires Iguazú extension adds two to four days of subtropical landscape that has nothing in common with the capital's urban character.

A 1.5-hour flight puts you in Argentina's wine country, where the Uco Valley's vineyard lodges sit at 1,000 to 1,200 meters with the Andes directly behind the vine rows. The Buenos Aires Mendoza wine extension pairs naturally with a city stay — most travelers allocate 3 days to Buenos Aires and 3 to 4 days to Mendoza's bodegas and Aconcagua Provincial Park.

El Calafate is a 3-hour direct flight south — the gateway to the Perito Moreno Glacier's 70-meter ice wall and, 218 km further north, El Chaltén's Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre trails. The Buenos Aires El Calafate connection is the standard opening move for any itinerary that includes southern Patagonia.

A 1.5-hour flight to Trelew connects Buenos Aires to the Atlantic coast's wildlife circuit — Southern right whales, elephant seals, and the Magellanic penguin colony at Punta Tombo. The Buenos Aires Península Valdés extension is the most direct way to add marine wildlife to a city-and-culture itinerary without the logistics of southern Patagonia.

The southernmost city in the world is a 3.5-hour direct flight from Buenos Aires — the Beagle Channel, Tierra del Fuego National Park, and the departure point for Antarctica expeditions. The Buenos Aires Ushuaia extension typically closes a longer Argentina circuit rather than standing alone.
