Outstanding tour guide!!!
I was fortunate to find information regarding Leo’s tours on TA while planning my trip. My husband and I were arriving on an overnight flight and I thought a walking tour upon arrival would be a good choice. I arranged (via email) with Leo in advance, and he was beyond responsive and enthusiastic. In fact, I was so taken by his energy that I asked him to book us on our 2nd day as well. We had a FANTASTIC couple of days with him; he knows the city like the back of his hand. Among the highlights was a city bus ride to the Boca neighborhood, where we wandered and explored (including the Boca stadium) then heading toward San Telmo and the many Sunday markets. We also got to explore Palermo, Retiro, Recoleta and the Pink House/government area. Leo literally knows the entire history of his country, and is passionate about sharing it with visitors. I cannot recommend him enough!!

Great introduction to Buenos Aires!
We were a bit late on getting to the meeting point, but he was still there waiting for us. He took us on a long but very enjoyable tour of BA. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. He was very knowledgeable and so friendly that we feel that we made a friend that day. Would recommend this tour! Thanks Leo 👍👍

Awesome walking tour
Leo gave my wife and I a fantastic walking tour of the sites around the city. We did not communicate well about what time we were meeting which ended up wasting a bunch of his time while waiting for us to arrive from the airport. He was extremely accommodating. He has a great knowledge base of information about Argentine history and culture. He spoke great English and was open to let us modify locations we wanted to see. I would highly recommend using Leo and doing the tour on the first day of your stay so you can familiarize yourself with the variuos neighborhoods throughout the city. We also did a couple of bike tours while we were there. We covered lots more ground on the bikes but Leo's knowledge base was far superior.

Great personalized private tour that is also very affordable!
I highly recommend Leo as a guide! He customized our walking tour based on our interest and limited time to explore Buenos Aires. I now feel like I have a much better understanding of the city, its history and culture. I recommend scheduling this walking tour on your first day in the city, if possible. It is a great way to get oriented and see key landmarks as well as lots of off-the-beaten path treasures. It was a treat to have such an excellent personalized private tour for just me and my husband at a very affordable rate. Leo has a wealth of knowledge and stories to share. The tour is informative and fun - I highly recommend!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Leo's BA Walking Tours Buenos Aires (Retiro-Monserrat): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Leo's BA Walking Tours Buenos Aires (Retiro-Monserrat) cost?
+
Prices start at $16 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 Leo's BA Walking Tours Buenos Aires (Retiro-Monserrat) 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 Leo's BA Walking Tours Buenos Aires (Retiro-Monserrat) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Leo's BA Walking Tours Buenos Aires (Retiro-Monserrat)?
+
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 Leo's BA Walking Tours Buenos Aires (Retiro-Monserrat) 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 Leo's BA Walking Tours Buenos Aires (Retiro-Monserrat)?
+
Around 3 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 Leo's BA Walking Tours Buenos Aires (Retiro-Monserrat) 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 Leo's BA Walking Tours Buenos Aires (Retiro-Monserrat)?
