    Unforgetable dining experience

    A hidden oasis in the heart of Buenos Aires. Maru and her team will keep you engaged and well-fed for three hours. The food was delicious, from hors d'oeuvres to desert. The second steak course, loma, was my favorite.

    Response from the operator: Hi, It was a pleasure to have you at Asado Argentino by Maru, we had a great time. You are welcome at any time!

    A homely, friendly and luxurious experience in the heart of Recoleta!

    I had the opportunity to try this experience recently and I loved it. Maru, in addition to being an excellent host, pays attention to all the details and it is clear that she enjoys entertaining her guests. The dining experience is truly delicious and the atmosphere enhances the experience. Highly recommended for those who want to know what the barbecue ceremony is like for Argentinians. It's like you're at a friend's or family's house. 100% worth it!

    Response from the operator: Hola! Fue un placer compartir el espacio con vos. Gracias!

    Best Authentic Argentinian Experience

    From being welcomed with open arms to an in-depth education surrounding the cultural practice of an Asado, this experience was by far amongst the best we took part in during our trip to Buenos Aires. Maru, the host was incredibly kind and we were greeted at the door in such a way that we were at ease and interacting with her as if we were long lost family & friends. Upon entering we were led to a stunning alcove with vines climbing high along towering walls that provided privacy and intimacy at the same time. Maru walked us through the cultural experience of an Asado and provided us documentation showing us the different parts of the cow and pointed out what we would be eating. We then met the chefs and got to see the meat before it was put into the fireplace. After mingling and learning more about the history and importance of Asado in an incredibly conversational and comfortable manner, the first part of the meal was ready. Not only was the food incredible but the hosts created an environment where we felt relaxed and at home. If there's one word I could use to describe the experience it would be special. I recommend this highly for absolutely everyone, our trip to Argentina wouldn't have been complete without it.

    Response from the operator: Hi! Thank you for your words, was an honor to have you at Asado Argentino by Maru, we had a great time. We are here whenever you want, the fires are still burning!

    Argentine Asado by Maru. Private experience in Buenos Aires: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.

    How much does Argentine Asado by Maru. Private experience in Buenos Aires cost?

    +

    Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Buenos Aires usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Argentine Asado by Maru. Private experience in Buenos Aires take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Buenos Aires is not rushed.

    Is Argentine Asado by Maru. Private experience in Buenos Aires worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Argentine Asado by Maru. Private experience in Buenos Aires?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Argentine Asado by Maru. Private experience in Buenos Aires suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Argentine Asado by Maru. Private experience in Buenos Aires?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Buenos Aires can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Argentine Asado by Maru. Private experience in Buenos Aires start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Buenos Aires within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Buenos Aires?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Buenos Aires experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Argentine Cooking, Wine & Beef Tasting at Argentine Experience, Historical Sherpa Food Tour of San Telmo with Street Food, Drinks, Cooking Class with Empanadas Steak & Flan by Argentine Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
