Jardin Botanico Carlos Thays
Fantastic architecture, sculptures, and plant life. This is a true oasis in the middle of all the bustle. Inside, we walk through several art installations and hear their stories unfold: a bronze street scene from Roman-era Naples, a Mercury statue with a message about commerce and religion, the most controversial sculpture in the park (with a genuinely wild ownership history), and a recreation of the mate plantation Carlos Thays used to jumpstart Argentina's mate industry.
45 minutes here
Plaza Italia
Originally this was the gateway into Palermo Forest and the starting point of the first trolleys in Buenos Aires. One of the oldest monuments in the country is located here: a 2,000-year-old Roman column from the Roman Forum, gifted to the city by Rome in 1955. Nearby is the Garibaldi statue, where we pause for a toast with the Garibaldi cocktail. Here we also see the first street art of the day, a mural by Martín Ron on a building that's part of the Sociedad Rural Argentina.
45 minutes here
This is one of the local, non-touristy grills where we stop for a traditional steak lunch, typically bife de chorizo with puré mixto. Vegetarian, pescatarian, and chicken options are available for guests who don't eat red meat.
60 minutes here
Plaza Inmigrantes de Armenia
Originally the site of a gasometer that dominated the neighborhood skyline. Since then it's been a park favored by locals and home to farmers markets and artisan markets on the weekends. The plaza itself carries a layered history: it was first named for a military campaign against Argentina's indigenous population, then renamed to honor Armenian immigrants who fled genocide, and today its plaques bear the names of Argentines of Armenian descent who were disappeared during the military dictatorship. From here we also talk about the Madres de Plaza de Mayo and the United States' role in the region. Around this area we visit a couple more food stops and explore side streets filled with street art, many of which don't show up separately on the map.
20 minutes here
This is where we end the tour with gelato. Antiche Tentazioni is an Italian-style gelateria in Palermo Soho, made fresh in-house with no artificial colors or flavoring, and one of the better gelato spots in the city. Depending on the day we sometimes finish at a different heladería nearby instead.

A lovely way to see Palermo and learn
Such a fantastic day with Natalia as the guide on our food and walking tour around Palermo. We started with coffee and pastries, walked to the botanical gardens, several other gardens, stopped at multiple places for food. Natalia is incredibly knowledgable and clearly has a lot of passion for her job and for learning. She is very warm and friendly and taught us lots of interesting facts about Argentina and Buenos Aires. Tasty steak for lunch, the cheese and onion empanada for the next meal was the best, the provaleta was delish, and the gelato stop at the end was excellent!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Amanda! Natalia is a fantastic guide and it's always great to hear that her knowledge and warmth came through the way they did. The cheese and onion empanada at Doña Tota tends to be a sleeper hit — glad it made the list. Hope you're enjoying the rest of your time in Buenos Aires, and thanks again for taking the time to write this up.

Walking food tour with a lots more
Had really great experience with Frank on our walking food tour of Palermo Viejo. He was very informative on the history made good local food choices and bar recommendations for beers and wines. He added a lot of personal touches to the tour also which made the tour much more enjoyable. Would highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind words! Really glad the history, the food stops, and the bar recommendations all landed well. The personal touches are my favorite part of running these tours, so it means a lot to hear that came through. Hope to see you back in Palermo sometime.

A lovely walk in Buenos Aires
Great walking trip around a couple of really nice districts of Buenos Aires. Our guide (Natalia) was very knowledgeable and showed us sites (+ food and drink tastings) that were a pleasant change from the norm. We enjoyed her company and lively demeanour and we moved at a nice pace throughout our time with her. One trip to thoroughly recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear David, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. Reading your description of the afternoon as "hanging out with a knowledgeable friend" is the highest compliment we can receive. At Asado Adventure, we strive to move beyond the typical tourist script. We want our guests to feel the pulse of Buenos Aires, whether that’s through the perfect cut of grass-fed beef or the stories hidden in our neighborhood streets. I am thrilled to hear that the steak and wine hit the mark for you, as we take great pride in sourcing only the best local products for our guests. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope these flavors stay with you long after you’ve returned home. Should your travels bring you back to our corner of the world, there will always be a spot at the table (and a glass of Malbec) waiting for you. Warmly, Frank Almeida

Palermo with locals street art and food tasting
I recommend Natalia and this tour. A great way to discover Palermo hidden gems in great company of our knowledge guide Natalia. She spoke perfect English and had the passion to present her city with interesting stories and even more interesting artists we met. Food was so tasty and places were for locals and foreigners were welcome, too.
Response from the operator: Dear Renata, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. I’m really glad to hear that the tour gave you a deeper sense of Palermo and that you enjoyed discovering the neighborhood through its food, street art, and stories. Natalia will be especially happy to read your words. She is a wonderful guide, and her ability to connect history, art, and the present-day life of the city is a big part of what makes these experiences feel personal rather than scripted. I’m also delighted that meeting the artists and visiting places where locals feel at home stood out for you. Thank you again for joining us and for your recommendation. I hope Buenos Aires left you with great memories, and that our paths cross again on a future visit. Warm regards, Frank Almeida Owner, AsadoAdventure

Excellent authentic food tour
Natalia was an excellent guide. She adjusted the tour to our pace and included areas and places she knew in which we would be interested. All the food included on the tour was authentic and of brilliant quality

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo cost?
+
Prices start at $223 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 Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 144 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 Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo?
+
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 Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo?
+
Around 50 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo 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.
What is included in Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo?
+
Included: Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; Snacks; Breakfast; and Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo?
+
I will be waiting outside the restaurant, which sits on a corner so it will be easy to spot me. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo?
+
