Food, Art & Culture in Palermo Viejo: A Guided Buenos Aires Walking Tour
Join us for a 6-hour (or 7 with optional add-ons) Buenos Aires food and walking tour through Palermo Viejo — a charming neighborhood known for its cobblestone streets, historic plazas, and colorful street art.
The day begins like a true Porteño: with café con leche and medialunas at a local bakery. From there, we’ll explore how this district helped shape Buenos Aires through green spaces, murals, and modern design. Along the way, you’ll enjoy a curated tasting of iconic Argentine dishes — from steak and choripán to local-style appetizers — all at places you won’t find in guidebooks.
Want to add something extra? One of our stops offers a craft beer tasting, and we can also arrange a wine-and-cheese pairing at a specialty shop — both available at an additional cost.
Between bites and stories, you’ll stroll through murals, sculptures, and hidden corners that make Palermo Viejo one of the city’s most captivating barrios.
