    3. Mercado del Progreso

      Being 130 years old, this is the oldest market in the city. Specialized in meat, most vendors are butchers. It is a very old-fashioned traditional market that takes us back in time

    4. Chacarita Cementery

      While most tourists go to the Recoleta Cemetery, few of them know about the existence of another monumental cemetery (25 times larger) in the city: the Cemetery of Chacarita. Here, we not only have monumental architecture (as much or more than in Recoleta) but also the graves of the greatest tango artists (among them Carlos Gardel, the greatest tango singer of all time), popular icons, and social associations. A truly hidden gem

    A nice detour to the usua

    Its a nice detour to the usual tourist spots. The church is magnificent and Mariano knows his stuff well. Very accommodating as well.

    Great tour away from the standard tourist spots

    We really enjoyed the opportunity to see the other areas of Buenos Aires. Mariano has deep knowledge of the history and architecture of the city and we learned much about its history/culture. Everything was efficient and well thought out. Highly recommend.

    Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $230 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 Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 46 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 Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour?

    +

    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 Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 16 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour 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 Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; and Expert Guide in English or Spanish. Not included: Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 178 listed pickup locations in and around Buenos Aires. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour 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 Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour?

    +

    Is Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    What happens to Off the Beaten Path BA Private Guided Tour if the weather is bad?
