Apartments for rent and Hotel Bookings. Reservations for tours, day trips, polo lessons, soccer tours, tango shows, and other activities in Buenos Aires

I take pride in offering a personalized service helping visitors plan their trips to Buenos Aires, from finding a place to stay, to making reservations for a number of exiting activities:

Apartment rental search: Staying at an apartment is one of the best ways of knowing a city. But searching for an apartment for rent is a time consuming, exhausting task. It is also hard to make a decision without knowing the different locations, especially in a city like Buenos Aires, where every neighborhood has its own features and character, noisy streets and unsafe areas. For a very reasonable fee, I can do the search for you, according to your needs and preferences. As a local, I know which the best locations are. After a careful selection of the best apartments available that suit all your requirements, I will send you their details so you can decide. I will save you hours and hours of searching on internet. I don’t work with any particular rental agency, so the choices are unlimited. I’m an independent adviser so all my opinions will be totally unbiased.

Exclusive Shopping Tours: My exclusive shopping tours allow guests to visit small stores, private apartments, showrooms or workshops they would never reach on their own.

  • Signature Jewels. Unique pieces by Argentine designers.
  • Limited edition handmade shoes.
  • Quality leather purses and bags.

We traveled to Buenos Aires 16-24 April, 2008. Had it not been for Sandra's advice and daily help, we would not have had as great a vacation as we did. Sandra developed our sightseeing and entertainment itinerary before we arrived in BA. She made all reservations for us and recommended places to see and things to do that she knew would interest my wife and me. Tom and Victoria, Dallas, Texas

Thank you Sandra for your many free consultations regarding my plans to retire to Buenos Aires from Miami. Not once did you hesitate to share your valuable experiences and insights. I had no idea that you had this web site or that you provided these services for a professional fee. This is what is known as altruism,folks. Rest assured Sandra,that if I'm able to resettle there I will be hiring your company for much need assistance.

Kindest regards,

Sandra,
I want to tell you what a completely pleasure and bonus it was to find you and work with you for our trip to Buenos Aires. You have great taste in artisans and artists and have done a wonderful job of learning BA in a way that no first-time tourist (and probably no second or third-time visitors) could possibly hope to on their own. Your introduction to Natalia Margiotta and her artists tour was a truly special experience for the whole group. Your reservation for us for a van to Tigre was perfect. Your other recommendations and reservations were flawless. I am happy to serve as an enthusiastic reference for your business.

Thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much for your time and your help on Friday. We also were able to make it to Cafe de los Maestros on Saturday, and the concert was great!

Hi Sandra,
We had a wonderful trip...with the soccer match as one of the highlights. Mirta and Luis were wonderful guides and really nice people. What really struck us about the trip was how great the people were to us... all very kind and helpful. It was a trip we will never forget. Thank you for your help. I hope we are able to come back again.

Kindly,

Sandra,

We are departing Iguazu in about an hour. You arranged a fantastic trip. We had a marvelous guide, Juan Albert Mauri, who had excellent English skills, is married to a local indigineous woman, and is Rebecca age. A complete naturalist who got to the head of all the lines, and everything was perfectly handled. The room was great with a great view and dinner at the hotel was great.
Thanks,
Richard

Richard said...

Hi Sandra,
We had an excellent time with Cherie and Ruben and only wish we had more time to do some follow up lessons. Thanks very much for the information you provided on your website and making the booking for us, they were a great recommendation!
Cheers,

Buenos Aires is just a jaw dropping city! There is so much to see & do & just not enough time to do it all. I first went there in December & fell in love with the country so much that I couldn't wait to get back out. I spent early March in Buenos Aires. I had come across Sandra, a fantastic guide who is local & who advised me on places to see & things to do. She was absolutely brilliant! She organised a Tango night for me at La Ventana which was great fun. She also arranged for me to see polo! I had wanted to go & see a polo match & she told me about Palermo where Adolfo Cambaiso was playing, the world's no 1 polo player who is Argentinian naturally! I had an amazing day at the club & got amazingly close to all the action. She is also organising a polo school holiday for me in May. I thoroughly recommend her!

Thank you for all you did for us during our vacation in Buenos Aires. Thanks for all you’ve done for us and the boys. They had a great bike tour of BA and we all enjoyed the Boca Jrs game, it was an amazing experience.
We cannot thank you enough for all the help you gave us during our trip to BA. It was also a delight to meet you and spend some time getting to know you (especially the day we spent shopping and stopping for coffee).
We had a great time and will always treasure this vacation!

Everything worked out just fine at the futbol game and we enjoyed the day very much. The guide was good, answered our questions and gave everyone a sense of security. A most memorable experience for all of us and thank you again for making the arrangements.

Sandra,
I loved my trip to Buenos Aires, and looking forward to coming back sooner then later. The help from you and your agency went a long way to make this so enjoyable. The Soccer game was handled very well - and the game was filled with the energy I hoped to experience. Non of this would have happened without your help and I greatly appreciate your assistance!

We had the pleasure of Sandra planning our BA and Iguaza Falls portion of our Argentine visit. We found Sandra very knowledgeable, organized, and personable and highly recommend her. She planned 3 private tours and a shopping spree, dinners, and a show while in BA. Her planning for our 2 days in Iguaza Falls was superb – we were taken care of from arrival to departure. We will use her on future visits!

The soccer game was amazing. If anything, the rain made it more exciting!
Our stay in the apartment and in BA was amazing. So glad we took that option, as opposed to staying in a hotel. It was like living in BA. Mixing in with the locals, the local grocery store, the local kiosk, everyone around us got to know who we were. Looking back, it was a great decision to stay in Recoleta, so we thank you for that advice. We got to explore most of the other barrios as well, La Boca, San Telmo, Palermo, etc, but Recoleta was our favourite. The location of our apartment was like gold. It was perfect! Never realised we were so close to the café’s and the cemetery, the parks, it was truly amazing. And literally walking distance to so many good restaurants, the city of BA and many other sites. It was fantastic.
We even did a tango lesson and loved every minute of it. We chose on of the tango shows you recommended, Complejo Tango which was fun. Café Tortoni was another good one but preferred the first one.My wife and I had a wonderful time and really do appreciate all the time and effort you have provided in advice etc.
Thank you again and all the best!

Hi Sandra!
I am so sad to say that I have returned from my wonderful trip to Buenos Aires. I had an amazing time! You were absolutely right-La Candelaria is beautiful. I had a great time there-the food, the horseback riding, the Gaucho show, the castle went beyond my expectations. It was one of the most memorable days I had on my trip. The private driver picked me up right on time. And yes I did see the polo match at Palermo on Sunday. It was incredibly fun and I felt so lucky to watch the worlds best polo player-Cambiaso play for La Dolphina. I also saw a great tango show at Cafe de Los Angelitos and also took a tango lesson and went to a milonga.
Sandra, thank you so much for all your help that went into planning my trip. When I do return I will contact you again and I will recommend you to my friends. I truly appreciated your kindess and patience.
Thanks again

After moving to Buenos Aires, my husband and I would probably still be wandering around, getting lost every day, without the excellent advice and help from you, Sandra.
Muchas gracias,
