My husband and I had the pleasure of honeymooning in Argentina. To say our trip would not have been complete without Joy, is an understatement. Joy showed us a behind the scenes look at the beautiful country, culture and wonderful people. She made every step of the trip memorable. Always positive, smiling, and up for an adventure. Joy truly loves her home, and wants to show it off to the world. We are very thankful that we had the opportunity for her to share it with us. We hope to be back one day soon! Lots of love from Canada!

When you travel you don’t want to walk the mainstream tourist path. You want to experience a place in its full authenticity and off the beaten track by inhaling local life and hearing real stories from locals.That’s exactly what Joy does! She’s an authentic, vivacious, funny lady with great insights, insider tips and fun facts. She lives and breathes Buenos Aires and made me do it too while I was there!

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!

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary in Buenos Aires, on our first-ever visit to Argentina and South America. Two days of our trip were spent with Joy of Buenos Aires. Although we could have crammed all the city tour spots into one day, which is what a lot of people do, we opted to do it over two whole days, giving us ample time to explore off-the-beaten path sites, take unlimited photos and shoot videos, relax as needed and snack whenever we desired. Choosing two days (with a break in-between) was the best decision we made, and the 16 hours we spent with Joy, in a wide variety of situations, simply revealed to us that she is undoubtedly pursuing her passion! And there's nothing better than having a guide/friend who seems as excited about her tours (ones she's done numerous times!) as you are. It makes a big difference! And in this day and age, where websites and ads often exaggerate a person's or product's accomplishments or benefits, my feeling is that Joy gives you amazing value for your investment. And her website and Facebook page accurately reflect who she is and what she can do. Thank you, Joy!

Johanna has a passion about her country of Argentina that is incredibly infectious to anyone who meets and spends any time on a tour with her. She is extremely knowledgeable with history and goes above and beyond to ensure travelers get the best experience possible. Professional, but one of the most fun people you’ll encounter in a long while!

Buenos Aires is one of the best cities I have visited. Joy's knowledge and love of her city is obvious. She knows the best spots to see, eat and drink. She can tell you all about the fascinating history and culture of Buenos Aires. Her friendliness and infectious enthusiasm really helped me fall in love with the place. I can't wait to return to Buenos Aires, and when I do I'll definitely be getting in touch with Joy to show me what's new in the city!

From the first day I met Joy, I loved her! Joy is friendly, fun, off beat, and VERY knowledgeable about both the city Buenos Aires and argentinian history, culture and entertainment. I cannot recommend her strongly enough, she is wonderful: patient, caring and FUN! And she was even willing to put up with my feeble attempts at speaking Spanish! Great girl, awesome city, FUN FUN FUN!

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!

I can’t recommend Joy highly enough. If ever being supremely professional as well as bubbly becomes an Olympic sport, she would run away with the gold medal. She loves her job and her home city, and it shone through, countless times going above and beyond the call of duty…Joy’s enthusiasm and attention to detail was my favourite thing. Also she has a great dry sense of humour and her local knowledge of where to go and experience the culture was second to none. You really felt you got the benefit of escaping the usual tourist traps and really seeing the city as it really is. She had a genuine interest in your life too and tailored the programme to what you wanted…whether that was taking a tour of the Boca Juniors stadium, or watching some traditional dancing. Joy just wanted you to make the most of your trip and for you to enjoy yourself, without it being forced fun. To me that was important. Seeing Peron’s grave, visiting a distillery or having a great meal was just as key as unwinding with a drink or two at the end of the day. Although I’m sure she would have shown us every spot in town and told us every historical fact if she could, she understood that a holiday is also about a bit of R&R and so the pace of it all was just right. One last thing..Joy is a great photographer, so don’t be surprised to come away with some good snaps as well as some great memories! Can’t wait to go back some time and see my friend again.

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!

I had the pleasure of Joy being my tour guide.Joy is a fun, friendly, enthusiastic and passionate about her work. She never stops and has lots of local knowledge and contacts to make your trip really special and unforgettable. Joy took us off the beaten track and took us to places that weren't even on a typical itinerary. You won't find a better guide!

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.
Joy is extremely knowledgeable and her love of Buenos Aires comes thru beautifully in every stop we made.

I have always enjoyed doing the private tours when I travel abroad...and this was the perfect city to do this. Joy is the utmost professional. Although she has many options... read more on her website, in reality she will cater the tour to you and your interests. Whether your real interest is politics, history, religion, architecture, or culture, Joy knew it all. We booked a day tour. She met us at our hotel and we walked, bused, taxied to all that we wanted to see. Her knowledge was above and beyond what you are expecting. I have a real interest in politics and military history...and she was dead on. We had so much fun, that we ended up having lunch with her and kept going till after dinner. Over our week in BA, she continued to text with us and answer questions, book restaurants, and give advice. It's like having your own concierge!!
If you are a stickler for quality and want that "personal" experience, then Joy is worth her weight in gold!! Please message me for any tips.
12 de June de 2022I had the pleasure of joining a tour with Joy and had such a good time while learning about the city and its history. Joy has so much passion and... read more enthusiasm and this shines through during her tour making it a fantastic experience.
She always has interesting facts or stories to share, and has great tips for the rest of your stay. She showed me a great wine bar and also introduced me to the best empanadas in Buenos Aires! I'm still grateful!
Thanks so much for the great experience joy!

Oh my goodness, people. This was my fourth time in Buenos Aires, I took many tours but none of them were as fun, interesting and dinamic as Joy's. She's absolutely... read more amazing, educated, well-conected and funny! We had such a fun time.
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!
14 de July de 2022Fantastic tour - Joy is a really great tour guide! Highly recommended and she answered all my questions. Great day out!!
10 de September de 2022Increíble! Couldn’t recommend anymore. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and clearly had her license. We all loved her and the whole tour was phenomenal. We got to see things... read more you wouldn’t normally see while in Buenos Aires. And the whole experience was authentic and unique. A hidden gem on TripAdvisor!

Joy is one of the best tour guides I know! She is very professional, fun and personable. She has a wide range of knowledge and insights about the city and... read more I learned so much during her tours. Also, she offers so much insights even after the tours, such as local tips around the city.
I also love the social gatherings she put together. She knows the best places to go to in town and it’s always nice to meet other travelers through these gatherings. Highly recommended!!541nancyx
8 de January de 2023Argentina 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.
15 de April de 2022Joy 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!
