Marcos
Hi! I'm Marcos, a professional tour guide based in Buenos Aires. I was born and raised here, and I've always been fascinated by the history, culture, and stories behind the city. I've been guiding visitors for many years, from first-time travelers looking to discover the highlights to guests interested in exploring Buenos Aires beyond the usual tourist routes. I particularly enjoy sharing local history, Jewish heritage, architecture, neighborhoods, and everyday porteño life. For me, a great tour should feel more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local than following a fixed script. I like to adapt each experience to my guests' interests, answer questions, exchange stories, and help them understand what makes Buenos Aires such a fascinating place.
