Don't Miss Eating Your Way Through Palermo
I had one evening in Buenos Aires and had heard multiple people say, "You HAVE to. visit the Palermo neighborhood." This was the perfect way to do it. Surprisingly I was the only tour guest but my guide Pablo and his "trainee" Florencia gave me the same level of enthusiasm as if the tour was full, We began at one of many of Palermo's wine bars where Pablo provided some Argentinian history over a charcuterie board and flavored vermouth. We also sampled some dry white wine. We wound our way through various neighborhoods and looked at some amazing street art. Food stops included a churripan sandwich, empanadas and, of course, steak. The tour may seem a bit pricey for the amount of stops but you are basically getting a full steak dinner at one of them. We ended with gelato. A great time with great guides

Not much food, information is good.
We were excited to go on the food tour. There were two of us (both adults) on the tour. We ate less during the day with a plan on eating well. The evening started with a Charcuterie board (meat and cheese) and a glass of red wine. The host gave us some education and history. Next we went a few doors down and had a glass of white wine with more history. Afterwards, we walked a few blocks away and had an empanada each. The discussion was nice. We then walked a few blocks away and the two of us had to split a full sandwich (1/2 sandwich each). Finally, we stopped at an ice cream place for a serving of ice cream (Dulce). So to keep track, we had 2 glasses of wine, 1 empanada, 1/2 sandwich and 1 serving of ice cream each. That is not a lot of food for $60 per person. We went somewhere else and had more food on our own afterwards. We have been to other food tours in other cities and they gave plenty of food. Here, they were skimpy on the food. I would not recommend this tour for the price they want. It was still good information so that is why we gave it a 3. If they gave more food, we would rate it a 5. Look at other tours if you want to sample more food.

Not worth the money
The empanadas cooking was good - but the food tour was average - not enough stops and not worth the money we paid. With only 5 of the 9 promised stops

Taste Traditional Argentine Food in Palermo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Taste Traditional Argentine Food in Palermo cost?
+
Prices start at $64 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 Taste Traditional Argentine Food in Palermo take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Taste Traditional Argentine Food in Palermo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 16 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 Taste Traditional Argentine Food in Palermo?
+
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 Taste Traditional Argentine Food in Palermo suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Taste Traditional Argentine Food in Palermo?
+
Around 6 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Taste Traditional Argentine Food in Palermo 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.
