I am a professional Tour Guide and Travel Agent based in Buenos Aires, with extensive experience in receptive tourism, city tours, walking tours and thematic experiences. I am passionate about my city and enjoy sharing its history, culture, architecture, traditions and hidden corners with visitors from around the world. I speak five languages fluently: Spanish, English, Italian, French and Portuguese, which allows me to connect naturally with people from different cultures and backgrounds. Over the years, I have developed a strong understanding not only of Buenos Aires, but also of international travelers and their different expectations, interests and ways of experiencing a destination. My goal is to make every tour informative, engaging and enjoyable, adapting each experience to the needs and personality of my guests. I believe that being a good guide means much more than knowing facts: it means creating meaningful experiences and making visitors feel welcome in the city.

We learned about Martín Ron, Pinta Argentina OK and the techniques behind the works, not just the names of the artists. Mariana made the two hours feel lively and personal.

Plaza Cortázar was a fun starting point, and the contrast between the traditional houses and the constantly changing walls of Palermo was fascinating.

Mariana was excellent at explaining the social ideas behind the art. Pasaje Russel, the pixel-art projects and the final work by the Urban Shaman made this much more than a photo walk.

A great choice for anyone who has already seen the main landmarks. We heard about immigration, design, gastronomy and how a middle-class neighborhood became one of the city's creative centers.

This was one of the most original activities we did in Buenos Aires. Mariana knew the stories behind the murals and brought attention to small details in the paste-ups, stencil art and doodles that we would never have noticed. She also explained how artists working together changed the visual identity of Palermo Soho, and the relaxed pace gave us plenty of time to take photos and ask questions.
