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.
