The BA 101 Walk: find your footing in Buenos Aires

• 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! This transport service can be added during the booking process for an additional cost
• If booked, the pick-up time for the start of walk transport add-on will usually be between 8.50am and 9.40am, depending on where you are staying
• Exact pick-up times will be confirmed in a separate email sent before your walk date
• If booking this option you agree to be ready & waiting to leave on time, so as to not delay the walk for other guests
• Drop-off-time for the end of walk transport add-on also varies, but is usually between 5.10pm and 6pm
• Please feel free to contact us for any transport timing estimates
• If you are booking for a group of 4-7 people, any transport add-ons will usually see your group split into two vehicles traveling together
• For transport add-ons you may be sharing a vehicle with other guests: private transport is not guaranteed unless you pay to convert your booking into a fully private walk
• We cannot look after luggage for you while you are taking a walk with us

• 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, or out of city excursions

• 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 24 hours in advance of your small group walk 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 after that cut-off (or no-show), you will be charged the full cost of your walk* (NOTE: IF we are able to rebook you for another date then we will happily do so for a 20% rebooking fee in the case of cancellations after the 24 hour cut-off, or 30% in the case of no-shows)

*Exceptions are made for flight & cruise ship delays or cancellations, with evidence: we only charge a 20% cancellation fee (i.e. 80% refund) if you are able to let your BuenosTours guide know directly at least 1 hour before the walk start time. If you cannot give your guide 1 hour notice, or you no-show, then the cancellation fee goes up to 30% (i.e. 70% refund). Again, this exception policy is only in the case of flight & cruise ship delays or cancellations, with evidence*

• 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

• For the provided lunch during this walk, while we attempt to satisfy dietary requirements whenever possible, this is not a food tour, and we don’t provide the food ourselves, so we can’t make any guarantees about lunch options
• If you have any major allergies or intolerances, or other strict dietary restrictions, and are concerned about what to eat during the walk, please consider bringing your own snacks with you to eat on the go, as a back-up plan
• Please also feel free to contact us to let us know about any allergies/dietary restrictions, or if you have any questions at all about lunch/food on the walk: you can use our contact form or reply to your booking confirmation email
