Overview
Your adventure in Buenos Aires begins when you step off of the plane and into our hands. Monograms can pick you up at the airport and whisk you off to your hotel seamlessly. Upon your arrival, your Local Host will greet you, ready to help you make the most out of your stay. The next morning, fill up on a delicious breakfast before heading off to explore all that Buenos Aires has to offer. We take you on a private city tour down the world’s widest avenue, showing you the Colon Theater, and parading by Plaza de Mayo. You’ll visit the colourful neighbourhood of La Boca, as well as the city’s oldest district, San Telmo, which features dozens of local shops and cafes. And a Buenos Aires tour wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Recoleta Cemetery, the burial site of Eva Perón, former First Lady of Argentina. Later, you may choose to enjoy dinner and a show – a traditional Tango show, that is!
The following day is yours to explore, because who doesn’t love free time on holiday? Learn how to make empanadas and other Argentinian specialties or cruise down the Tigre River – whatever floats your boat. You can even choose an optional excursion to a traditional Argentinian estancia (ranch) where you will experience the lifestyle of the gauchos. Regardless of what you may choose, your Local Host will be there every step of the way to provide suggestions that best fit your interests.
You’ll also enjoy a stay in Mendoza, famous for its ancient architecture and amazing wines! From the guides to the sightseeing, hotels to transportation, you are guaranteed to have a hassle-free holiday. And we can’t wait to help make your stay in Buenos Aires the very best that it can be!
