Master Buenos Aires in a day: the BA 101 Walk

• The BA 101 Walk is pretty much all-inclusive! It includes:
• An expert guide ready to answer all your burning questions
• Entrance fees to historical sites (including Recoleta Cemetery)
• A tasty local lunch* (main + beverage)
• Coffee (or an equivalent-priced drink)
• Public transport (i.e. local bus or subway) taken during the guided walk
• A bottle of water to help you stay hydrated

*We cannot guarantee lunch choices in the event of dietary restrictions*

• We begin at 10am at an easy to find location in the Recoleta neighborhood* (near the corner of Av. Santa Fe and Av. Callao)
• This 7 hour guided walk ends at 5pm in the San Telmo neighborhood, near plenty of fun spots to eat, drink and shop
• Meeting spot details are sent in your booking confirmation email

*With the exception of Sundays, when the walk is reversed, beginning at 10am in San Telmo and ending at 5pm in Recoleta*

• While our walks were not created with children in mind, they’re still more than welcome
• Children aged 13 and above are charged the same price as adults
• For every paying adult, one child aged 12 or under can be charged at half price
• Infants (aged 3 and und under) go free!
• If you are booking for more children than adults, any children in excess of the total number of adults will be charged full price. But in such cases we recommend you pay the upgrade fee to convert the walk into a private one during the booking process, or if that option is not available, contact us to book a custom private walk instead

• It is impossible to predict how many people will be on each guided walk. That said…
• The maximum number of guests on any walk will never exceed 7 adults
• The minimum number of guests on any walk is… 1 person!
• The most common number of people on a walk is between 2 and 5 people

• Yes! You can also pay a small deposit online to reserve the walk, followed by the remainder in cash (US Dollars ONLY) to your guide at the start of the service
• Please contact us before booking if you wish to pay just a small online deposit to book your walk. However, please remember that if we receive another fully-paid booking directly through our website before we have received your deposit, then that fully-paid-for booking would take priority, as a matter of fairness.

• We do also offer fully private guided walks which can be booked for any day, time, number of people and duration that works for you. Please contact us for more information
• Many of our daily small group walks can also be converted into a fully private service for an added fee during the booking process!
• At present we do not offer any car or bus tours

• Yes! As a solo traveler you can book for one person
• If no one else joins for the date you booked, we will still go ahead as a private walk just for you, at no extra cost!

• If you cancel at least 7 full calendar days in advance of your service start time, or if it can’t take place for uncontrollable reasons (e.g. heavy rain or flooding) then there is no cancellation fee (i.e. we refund 100% of the price paid)
• If you cancel with more than 1 full calendar day, but less than 7 full calendar days before your service start time, you will be charged a 20% cancellation fee (of course, this fee can be avoided if we’re able to rebook your service for another date instead of canceling)
• If you cancel with 24 hours or less notice before your service start time, you will be charged the full price (again, this fee can be avoided if we’re able to rebook your service for another date instead of canceling)
• An exception to the above (to avoid the zero refund for cancellations with less than 24 hours notice) is for flight and cruise ship delays or cancellations. If your flight or cruise ship arrival is delayed or cancelled and as a result it means you have to late cancel, we will charge just the 20% cancellation fee (i.e. 80% refund), but ONLY if you are able to let your guide know directly at least one hour before the service start time
• No shows with no advance notice always forfeit the full service fee

• Our walks almost always go ahead, rain or shine!: in case of possible rain you should bring an umbrella and dress accordingly
• We’ll still have fun, don’t worry!
• In the rare case of very heavy rain and/or flooding, the walk would then most likely be canceled, and you would receive either a full refund, or if possible, have the opportunity to rebook your walk for another date, at no extra cost
• If you have any weather doubts on the day of the walk, please contact your guide directly using their cell phone number we will give you in advance

• Please try to arrive 10 minutes early if at all possible. This is for the sake of your guide, your fellow group members on the day, and for yourself and your enjoyment of the walk!
• That said, we understand that delays can happen. Your guide and group will wait up to 20 minutes for you after the stated walk start time.
• Bear in mind that turning up late will mean missing out on some fun stuff that will negatively affect your experience
• If you are more than 20 minutes late, you will almost certainly miss the group, although by being in touch with your guide directly on the day, there is still the chance to catch up with the group to join the rest of the day’s walk

• The full day (7 hour) guided stroll usually involves around 8km (about 5 miles) of walking
• It includes a couple of rides on public transport, and a lunch break, so there are some great opportunities to rest & regain your powers along the way
• The walking difficultly level is easy to moderate (although on extremely hot days in the peak of summer it may feel more challenging)

• We recommend the following…
• Comfortable shoes
• Sunscreen
• Water (although we provide a bottle and we can also stop for you to buy more along the way)
• Just in case, some cash in Argentine Pesos, or failing that, US Dollars and/or a Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card (although please note that this is NOT a shopping tour and as such there will not be built-in time for shopping)
• In case rain looks likely (or even in the case of oppressive sun): an umbrella

• Our daily BA 101 Walk is available year round, on most dates, with the exception of:
• January 1st
• December 25th
• Very occasional other dates when we’re aware of major protests/strikes etc

• At present we only offer guided walks in English, all given by fluent English speaking guides
• Our expert guides of course also speak Spanish fluently, but currently the BA 101 Walk is only offered in English
