Meet Johanna 'Joy' - The founder of Joy of Buenos Aires
Johanna ‘Joy’ – Founder of Joy of Buenos Aires

Exploring Buenos Aires with a local, fully licensed tour guide is an absolute must to fully appreciate the rich tapestry of this South American gem. Shaped by waves of intense European immigration in the 19th century, Buenos Aires is a city that thrives on its fusion of cultures. Its distinct Lunfardo dialect, mesmerizing dance and musical heritage, and exquisite Belle Epoque architecture all bear the indelible marks of international influences that continue to shape the Argentine cultural identity.

Joy is a very passionate tourguide, she has a great love for her country and especially for her city Buenos Aires. She has so much knowledge and is very capable of delivering this knowledge about her city with passion. She is also very fun to hang out with and if you wanna go on a night out with her, she will make sure you see the right places and make you have a great time! During the tour that I had she became my friend, and I’m very glad that I’ve met her! Even after the tour we met for some drinks with other people of my group. If you choose to experience Buenos Aires with Joy, you won’t regret it!

My wife and I had the best time with Joy! Joy is a ball of positive energy and very passionate about her home country. She also seems to know EVERYTHING about Argentina! I am vegetarian and all the restaurants Joy took us to were vegetarian friendly. Thank you Joy for making our trip so wonderful!

We first met Joy in Buenos Aires, she was super friendly and full of energy and ideas, and really got us excited about seeing what the city had to offer right from the start.Joy’s knowledge and passion for Buenos Aires was evident right from the beginning of our tour of the city and she passed this onto us in her own unique way, you couldnt help but abosrb her passion and excitement (particularly if you get her talking abouther beloved Boca football team!).As we toured around Joy had a great awareness of the interests of both the group as a whole and of individuals, highlighting sights and activities which would be of an interest to each. Then with her knowledge of the city and her contacts was happy, and easily able to help organise whatever this may be, whether this was attending a football match, an amazing tango and dinner evening (including tango lessons!), or a great place to eat. Joy was also happy to accompany us out to dinner or out to bars, letting us have a great time experiencing the city like a local while feeling safe and secure, so that we could really enjoy ourselves worry free.We couldn’t recommend any better person as a guide!
