Joy and I started texting... read more a few days prior to our arrival and she took a lot of time helping us define the scope of our tour since we only had about 5 hours available. She was able to accommodate one of our other friends on the tour at the last minute and even got us a bigger vehicle! We had an outstanding private driver for the day as well!

She gave us a wonderful tour and showed us many of the must sees of this incredible city.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a very demanding person when it comes to take a tour but Joy overcome my expectations. If you want a great time in Buenos Aires, she's your girl. Muchas gracias, Joy!

  Joy is a well-versed and enthusiastic guide that has a warm porteña personality. I would recommend her to all my friends who plan to visit Buenos Aires.

  I had an amazing local experience with Joy. Felt truly guided to the best of what BA has to offer. With the areco experience, I felt in tune with my... read more surroundings horseriding and the asado + wine after was absolutely exquisite. Some of the best steak I ever had. What I really liked was the choose your own adventure nature of the plans for the rest of the day which was perfect to really explore the town at my own pace with my group. All in all, worth every penny!

  The most fantastic tour guide in Buenos Aires, possibly the world. Joy’s name really fits her personality and her enthusiasm for this beautiful city and country. She shaped the tours... read more after what we wanted to see and was incredibly flexible around time. She introduced me to some places I would never have been able to find on my own, including some wonderful food places. I would go back to Buenos Aires just for Joy.

  I have visited several places with Joy and our group, the cemetery of Recoleta and the Tiger river in the north of Buenos Aires.
Beside being an amazing guide... read more and very passionate about her job she is a wonderful person. She will make you feel that you are a part of the story. Couldn’t recommend more. Go for Joy is you want to have a truly authentic experience.
Thank you again Joy and of course see u next time ! ♥️

  In December we had the luck to be on a tour with Joy
I think she is an absolutely amazing guide that just enjoys doing what she does ... read more

I can definitely recommend Joy if you wanna see Buenos Aires with a tour that can be customized according to your wishes or totally tailor made

Overall we saw so much that I feel we did all the main things of Buenos Aires in just one day
Still we got time to put some gift shopping in and also to eat a tasty chorizo

Joy is very knowledgeable and can give you information to buildings, people, history or just on which dulce the leche to buy as a gift

I also liked that she did not try to push her opinion onto us I felt throughout the tour that she tried to stay very objective

If she has a flaw then only that she will tell you that ghost do not exist and therefore the cemetery is not hunted when of corse it clearly is

But honestly thank you Joy for the amazing and funny time I spend with you, the informative tour you gave us and the great experience and adventure we shared

  Spending the day with Joy was so fun, she’s such a great licensed tour guide! Felt like my friend and that it’s also important! The tour was customized to my... read more interest which made it way more enjoyable than a tour that spends hours doing things you’re not interested in. She showed me places I would not have discovered on my own. Would recommend to anyone coming to Buenos Aires! For sure she is not the typical tour guide. Book a local experience with her! Totally worth it !!

  I spent 10 hours with Joy on a private tour in Buenos Aires in May 2022. History, culture, society, food, locals! What else do you get with Joy? So much... read more more!

You get an independent tour guide who loves and is excited about her job, her city, her country. She will help you organise and navigate Buenos Aires on the subsequent days, she will even check-in on you the days after the tour - to see how things are going for you. Joy will tailor the whole experience to what you like to see or do.

I found quite fascinating - and not very common - how Joy worked like a magnet, attracting people and generating "random" genuine and authentic interactions with locals on the way: from a restaurant owner in San Telmo Market, to a street artist (La Boca)... from an artisan in La Boca to a tourism student in the Astor Piazzola exhibition. Joy has kind and positive words to offer to everyone.

Buenos Aires has so much to offer and I feel I got so much with Joy. It felt like spending the day with a friend and that's how tours should be: an immersive and authentic experience, connected with locals and their reality, the real feel of Buenos Aires.

Joy is a gem!

  Joy gave us a wonderful private tour with a combination of a private driver and walking. She was very enthusiastic in providing us history of Buenos Aires and taking us... read more to some major sights of the city. Her tour is a good way to start your time in Buenos Aires, particularly if you are a first time visitor. I would not hesitate to recommend her!

  Argentina was a last minute trip and spending time in Buenos Aires didn't become an option until the day before my flight. I didn't want to waste my one day... read more I had to explore B.A., so I took a chance on a tour guide recommendation from a FB group.

Upon landing I reached out to Joy. She was quick to respond and listened to my interests in order to build a customized itinerary. Joy talked me through the safest transportation options at the airport and met me at my accommodation in a matter of a couple hrs.

I chose a whole day walking tour. No regrets. Joy has a high level knowledge of the history, architecture, culture, art music,language and food of Argentina. We visited all the main attractions, along with things most tourists may not know about.

As our day was coming to an end, so did the sun and clear skies. We got caught in the rain. My umbrella could not withstand the wind. Joy was so gracious to lend me hers as she tried to avoid becoming drenched herself in arain jacket.

I would HIGHLY recommend Joy. Even after the tour,she continued to help me with setting up Covid test for my flight home. She has endless recommendations for not only B.A. but other regions in Argentina. I could not have asked for a better certified guide to help me fall in love Argentina.
