A wonderful experience of food, history and culture
From the moment we met Natalia, our host and guide, we knew we were in store for a wonderful experience. A native of Buenos Aires, Natalia was super friendly, engaging and a fountain of knowledge of all things Argentina. Our tour of the Palermo district began by sampling delicious medialunas with cafe con leche at Lucio Pizza & Pasta (Yes, a pizza place that makes excellent pastries too! ). We then moved on to the beautiful botanical gardens, designed by Carlos Thays. We learned that Thays was also responsible for the many tree-lined streets and plazas we enjoyed on our walk. A delicious lunch of morcilla and bife de chorizo followed at cozy El Pensador - the best steak we’ve had in BA, and we’ve had quite a lot! Natalia then took us to the SoHo area of Palermo - a very trendy spot with cafes, shops and the like, but rich in history and cultural awareness that were honored in multiple ways, including many beautiful public art murals. After enjoying delicious gelato, we said farewell to Natalia, and reflected on the day. If you are interested walking through a beautiful area of BA, soaking in its history, culture and art, and enjoying delicious food, then this is the tour for you.
Response from the operator: Hi LuluJRT, Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. I’m especially glad to hear how strongly Natalia resonated with you. She is not only a native of Buenos Aires, but someone who genuinely loves unpacking the layers of this city, from Carlos Thays’ vision for our green spaces to the immigrant stories embedded in Palermo’s streets. Starting with medialunas at Lucio and then moving through the Botanical Garden is one of my favorite arcs of the tour. Thays shaped so much of Buenos Aires, yet many visitors walk through those spaces without realizing how intentional they were. Pairing that history with a proper bife de chorizo at El Pensador and ending with gelato tends to make the stories stick. Thank you as well for mentioning the balance of trendiness and history in Palermo SoHo. Beneath the cafés and boutiques, there is a very real and complex past, and it means a lot that you appreciated both sides of it. We would love to welcome you back anytime. There is always another layer of Buenos Aires waiting to be explored. Warm regards,

Food tour with Asado adventures
We took a 3.5 food tour with Frank/Asado Adfenture today and we throughly enjoyed it. Besides food, we got a history and overview of the neighborhood. We visited Botanical gardens we learned about Carlos Thays. As for food, we enjoyed medialunas and coffee in Italian restaurant and later steak. We followed up with chocolates and mate. I want to point that my husband does not eat red meat and we appreciated how Frank arranged chicken substituion which was cooked in separate skillet. Frank took photos of us and later on emailed us a photoalbum - a very thoughthul souvenir. Also, if you do not want to figuring out public transportation, he arranged for us a personable English speaking driver. I will rate it excellent experience and highly recommend Asado Adventures!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review. It truly means a lot. I am so glad you both enjoyed the morning together and that the tour struck the right balance between food, neighborhood history, and context. Palermo has many layers, and I love being able to connect places like the Botanical Gardens and Plaza Italia with the stories behind them, especially Carlos Thays and the people who shaped the city. I also really appreciate you mentioning the dietary accommodation for your husband. Making sure everyone feels comfortable and well cared for is essential to how I design these experiences, and I am happy the separate skillet solution worked well for you both. Ending with mate and chocolates is always a favorite moment for me, and I am glad you enjoyed that introduction as well. And of course, I am pleased the photo album added something special as a keepsake from the day. Thank you again for the recommendation and for trusting me with part of your time in Buenos Aires. It was a genuine pleasure hosting you, and I hope our paths cross again in the future.

Private half-day food, history, and culture tour
Wonderful food tour with Frank! He was gracious in planning a private half-day tour for our group. Communication up to and after the tour was outstanding. We learned so much about Palermo and Argentine history while eating some delicious classic dishes. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this kind review! It was a real pleasure planning your private tour and sharing not just the food, but the deeper stories that make Palermo and Argentine history so special. I'm especially glad you appreciated the communication—that's something we take seriously because we want your experience to feel seamless from start to finish. Your group brought such great energy, curiosity, and good humor to the experience—it made guiding you an absolute joy. And hey, anyone who dives into alfajores, provoleta, empanadas, wine, steak, and history with equal enthusiasm is always welcome back! Thanks again for the high recommendation. I hope our paths cross again sometime soon. Warmest wishes from Buenos Aires.

Great way to spend an afternoon!
We didn’t have a lot of time in Buenos Aires and wanted to do something fun with the little time we had. This turned out to be a great experience! Every stop was delicious and just the right amount of food. We really enjoyed learning more about Buenos Aires and Palermo. Frank was an excellent guide. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking this tour with me and spending the afternoon eating, drinking, and chatting. I enjoyed showing you around my neighborhood and sharing not only its yummy food, but talking about history and street art as well. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Latin American trip.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half Day Customizable Food Tour of Palermo SoHo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Half Day Customizable Food Tour of Palermo SoHo cost?
+
Prices start at $152 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 Half Day Customizable Food Tour of Palermo SoHo 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 Half Day Customizable Food Tour of Palermo SoHo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Half Day Customizable Food Tour of Palermo SoHo?
+
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 Half Day Customizable Food Tour of Palermo SoHo 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 Half Day Customizable Food Tour of Palermo SoHo?
+
Around 2 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 Half Day Customizable Food Tour of Palermo SoHo 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.

+

Where is the meeting point for Half Day Customizable Food Tour of Palermo SoHo?

+
