Best of Buenos Aires 3-Day Walking Tours

The three shared walking tours that cover the most different sides of Buenos Aires, bundled at one price: La Boca’s colour and tango history, Recoleta Cemetery’s mausoleums, and Palermo’s street art.

This is tours only. Unlike the 3-Day Buenos Aires Budget Tour Package, there are no hotel nights and no transport bundled in — just three shared small-group tours at US$13 per person each, for travellers who already have their own accommodation sorted.

1. Day 1

   Day 1: La Boca Shared Walking Tour

   • Begin your experience in the heart of La Boca at the colorful Caminito area, where the tour starts. Meet your guide, and the history of one of the oldest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires.
   • Walk the open-air street museum, between the colored houses the immigrants painted. Discover how this unique identity shaped the culture of Buenos Aires.
   • Explore the origins of tango in the neighborhood where it was born, and understand its deep cultural significance while observing street performances and artistic expressions.
   • Admire traditional Argentine decorative art and murals that bring the neighborhood to life, learning about their meaning and history as you walk through its streets.
   • Visit one of La Boca’s symbolic landmarks and hear the stories behind the volunteer firefighters, an essential part of the community’s identity.
   • Discover the passion for football that defines the neighborhood, with insights into Boca Juniors and its cultural impact on Argentina.
   • Walk through key spots of the neighborhood while uncovering stories of immigration, daily life, and the transformation of La Boca into a cultural icon.

3. Day 3

   Day 3: Palermo Graffiti Shared Walking Tour

   • Meet your guide at the cemetery gate on Junín 1760, where the walk begins with an introduction to how street art developed in Buenos Aires before heading into Palermo.
   • An overview of the local scene: how graffiti moved from illegal tagging to walls that building owners now commission, and what sets Buenos Aires' street art apart from other cities on the continent.
   • A look at the paste-up and wheatpaste pieces that appear overnight on Palermo’s walls and doorways — a different technique and a different pace from a commissioned mural.
   • Stop at one of Palermo's largest murals: a girl taking a selfie, painted several storeys tall in Martín Ron's photorealistic style. The guide covers how a mural at this scale gets painted and how Ron built his reputation with it.
   • A mural by Alfredo Segatori that takes on the city's relationship with waste and recycling directly, in his busier, more graphic style — a contrast with the photorealism a few blocks earlier.
