By Martha J. Abernathy(United Kingdom (UK))December 6, 2025 The Best Way to Rediscover the City at Your Own Pace!"I had a total knee replacement and set a goal of being able to enjoy a trip three months after surgery. I chose Buenos Aires because it’s such a flat and walkable city. Everything went perfectly. Lucas was a fantastic guide, and I learned so much about the area while strolling through the city—places I had only seen superficially during previous visits. It was a wonderful way to rediscover Buenos Aires at a relaxed pace. I had a great time and highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a cultural walking tour experience in Buenos Aires." - Verified Purchase
