María Virginia Panetta

Guide profile:

Hola! My name is Virgina and as a citizen of one of the most fascinating cities of the world, Buenos Aires, I´d like to invite you to share the experience of discovering it together. I´m a graduate translator and when Argentina became a destination for international tourism some years ago, I found a new and exciting field to explore and after going back to school to study Tourism, I specialized in Buenos Aires and its cultural heritage and started working as a personal tour guide, which gave me the opportunity to meet incredible people from all over the world.

For many years now I´ve been in contact with visitors from all over the world and this experience has helped me understand that we all share the same fears and expectations when traveling to a foreign country for the first time. So I invite you to be my guest in Buenos Aires. Let me guide you through this wonderful experience of discovering a unique city, full of life and contradictions, music, art and passions: Buenos Aires...

More stars! She made our trip and would come back just to have her show us more. She taylored tours just for us and even had her husband Eduardo do the driving so that she could devote all of her time to us. After showing an interest in Evita's life, she designed a tour just for that for us. They even sent us lists today of movies and books we could consult. They are the best!!!

Virginia was simply brilliant. Well before we arrived in BA she was able to help us with all sorts of questions. Her tour of the city was well structured and took us through the growth of the city and the different cultures and their impact on the city. We felt we were in the company of an old friend. Nothing was too much trouble and and when we got a lost trying to get to a private appointment way out of town she even arranged for her husband to rescue us and contacted us to check we were ok

Virginia was fantastic - we had some special needs as Julie has difficulty walking, and Virginia accommodated this with no problems. Very knowledgeable of Buenos Aires, she showed us so many sights and provided so much information - just what we were looking for! Highly recommended!!

Tour Guide Comment: Thank you, Norm! It was a real pleasure meeting you, and I hope to see you back in BA soon!

Virginia Panetta should be rated a 10, not a 5 out 5. She went beyond the call of duty. Before I arrived, she arranged for inexpensive transportation from the airport to the hotel, a cell phone rental, and a meeting with a professor to discuss a book I'm writing. She read chapters of my manuscript and created a custom tour around the scenes in the manuscript. After I arrived, she provided a tour of the city like no other I could imagine. She's the best of the best for very little money.

Virginia was an exeptional tour guide. I was presented with a wonderful side of Buenos Aires I had no idea existed. Vigininia was knowledgable on Buenos Aires history, culture, major buildings, parks, neigborhoods as well as just getting about. I recommend Virginia to anyone looking for an enjoyable and detailed tour.
