On this informative sightseeing walking tour, travelers will discover the authentic Buenos Aires, by wandering through the oldest streets of the city surrounded by Tango and Football traditions which are an integral part of porteño culture and living proof of the rich eclectic mix of histories and customs, due to Buenos Aires’ diverse immigration during the 1940's.
