Exceptional Tour and Guide

Noel is a very knowledgeable guide. His English is highly fluent. His tour helps you understand not only the history of La Boca but also the reality of the current neighborhood away from the tourist areas. We really appreciated his compassion for the neighborhood. The local bakery he took us to had delicious pastries! We also enjoyed his explanation of the football rivalries in Buenos Aires. He took extra time with us to visit a coffee shop to enjoy our sweets, helped us get Teatro Colon tour tickets, and assisted us in getting reasonably priced football jerseys for our grandchildren. It was a terrific few hours in La Boca. Highly recommend his tour!

Amazing Tour

What an amazing experience!!! Thank you Noel! Not only did Noel show us the colorful streets of Caminito and the Boca Junior Stadium, but also the side streets of la Boca including the story of Julietta Lanteri, who was the first woman to vote in South America and visiting a bakery with lots of delicious pastries. This was one of our best tours ever.
