Our guide was knowledgeable but he added 2 people to our private tour without letting us know in advance. The tour was advertised as 4 hours but ours ended after only 2 hours.

Elizabeth our guide was awesome. We had some miscommunication as regard to a meeting spot and she tracked us down a half an hour after tour was suppose to start. She then took us on tour and was a wealth of information on the history of the area. Thank you so much Elizabeth !

Elizabeth was our guide for the walking tour. She had lots of information for us and was very nice. Walked around la boca and la caminita and she informed us of the history and showed us the important sites etc. She even helped us with recommendations for lunch and other places to see in the city during our time in buenos aires. Highly recommend!!

Yes it’s in La Boca. Yes it’s a poor area. But the Caminito is worth the time spent and the locals need the tourist dollars from people like us. Just use common sense when you go. We spoke to locals about getting there and took their advice. You don’t need a tour. Just jump in a taxi (eg ARP 120-150 from Plaza de Mayo) they’re cheap, and get dropped off IN the Caminito so you don’t need to walk there. Enjoy the colour, the vibe and some genuinely nice souvenirs amongst the inevitable tacky that you get everywhere. Finish up with a beer and ask the cafe staff to ring for a taxi for you at the end of the visit.

Every major city has one - a bright, vibrant area to showcase aspects of its culture which also attracts tourists. Caminito is in the suburb of La Boca and you'll be bombarded by colour and noise. It's vibrant, very colourful and interesting with its array of streets and alleys full of shops, restaurants and cafes, Tango dancers, and market stalls selling clothing, shoes and souvenirs. It's really for the tourists with some parts just plain tacky but that adds the appeal and vibrancy of the area. You can lunch at a restaurant on the street and be entertained by Tango dancers, even dress up and be photographed as a Tango dancer. The old cobble stones and railway lines from another time are still there. Caminito (Spanish for street or laneway) is supposed to have inspired the famous tango Caminito in 1926. La Boca is the old industrial area of Buenos Aires which was home to the Italian immigrants in the late 19th century. They worked in the nearby docks and used left over paint for the outside of their homes resulting in a riot of colour. The area became an eyesore in the 1950's and was revived in the 1960's/70's by local yet renowned Argentine artist Quinquela Martín. He painted the buildings with vibrant pastel colours reminiscent of the original colours which eventually brought the area back to life. It’s worth a visit and is open most todays. You can spend hours walking the streets, being entertained by street musicians and looking at the shops. However check opening times as most of the stalls were packing up by 3pm. Avoid going into the back streets - some parts looked seedy and certainly uninviting.

This is one of the traps to tourists, like, for example, Pelourinho at Salvador in Brazil. It is simply an open air slum, pretending to be a cool tourist site. Prices are high, attendants are not trainned and the atractions are typical from a poor neighbourhood trying to convince the less warned. Forget it!

Me encantó lo colorido del barrio, claramente es una zona para turistas pero conserva su encanto, parecería algo peligroso si uno se sale de la senda

Los lugares seleccionados son muy interesantes y Elizabeth, nuestra guía, siempre atenta a todo y con las historias precisas para cada lugar.

Un lugar colorido, lleno de tiendas de souvenir, shows de tangos gratuitos, muchos restaurantes con precios accesibles, un lugar imperdible en una visita en Buenos Aires

Um pedaço de rua com um comércio de chaveirinhos e coisas do tipo. Homens com ternos surrados e mulheres com roupas de gosto duvidoso, supostamente dançarinos de tango, te abordam querendo tirar fotos para cobrar por isso. Zero glamour. Área bem decadente.Interesse muito mais sociológico do que turístico.O contraste com bairros como Palermo é chocante. Há orientação para não se afastar dessa rua principal, pois existe uma favela ali perto.

Es una buena opción para una visita rapida y general del Barrio. AL acceder a la zona de caminito, bajarse de la bicicleta para recorrer las distintas callecitas. Barrio pintoresco. Recomiendo ir los fines de semana a partir del mediodia, hasta las 16 horas.

Si es un día de sol es ideal para hacerlo y sino también, es muy interesante. Si tenes algo de tiempo a muy corta distancia esta el puente de hierro de La Boca, uno de los 8 que quedan de su tipo en el mundo

Barrio muy pintoresco, lleno de lugares y paseos hermosos para recorrer con muy buenos lugares para comer comidas típicas argentinas y mucho pero mucho tango! Sin duda lo mejor! Imperdible!

Si bien es cierto que parece montado para el turismo (un poco artificial), es lindo paseo, no demanda mucho tiempo, es seguro, es pintoresco. Caro para comer. Super recomendable visitar el museo Quinquela Martín.

É uma realidade bem diferente do luxo de Recoleta...mas igualmente encantador...a feira muito interessante...rende fotos muito bonitas .. bons restaurantes para tomar um chopp..curtir uma música típica..vale o passeio!!

parada obrigatoria, te faz ver um bairro com outra perspectiva, muito coloridas as casas, acho q poderiam investir mais, pois o bairro tem um potencial incrivel.

Lugar muito bonito, bem cuidado e de povo muito receptivo, o lugar respira cultura e vale muito a pena a visita. Possui ótimas lojas para comprar souvenirs.

Andar pela colorida rua Caminito, no bairro La Boca, onde nasceu o tango, em Buenos Aires, é um passeio imperdível aos viajantes que visitarem a capital argentina. Encontramos casais dançando o tango nas calçadas, lojinhas com antiquários, bijuterias e muitas opções de lanche e refeições com os pratos típicos da culinária portenha, tudo isso ao preço bem razoável.
