Sofia met me at El Ateneo Grand Splendid in Recoleta where we sat and had a drink while we looked through some fashion books so she could get a sense of my style and interests. She put me at ease right away and listened to what I did and did not like fashion wise without trying to sway me in a direction. We left and went on a leisurely walk to a handful of different venues, all quite different from the next. Again, she was patient with my pickiness and made suggestions and found treasure I never would have spotted. I had a lovely time with Sofia and have a few new pieces to inspire more color and style into my current wardrobe. Thank you Sofia!

This was such a fun and unique experience from everything else I did in Buenos Aires! The host was communicative from the start and was very sweet. If you’re into vintage shopping and thrift stores you’ll have a great time.

That was a great experience! Sofia has shown us some really unique shops and helped choose clothes according to our taste and price range. She also has a great personality and it was an absolute pleasure to meet her!

Originally 4 stars, but since Sofia is so kind and thoughtful bumped it up to a 5

Pros - great vintage bargain finds and a wonderful host who takes great care of you. She also updates the tour in real time based on your preferences, acting almost as a stylist.

Cons - if you go with a group you don't know, make sure to align on expectations beforehand of how many stores you'd like to visit and how long you'd like to stay at each one. Also be clear if you prefer more modern secondhand or traditional vintage, since the latter may feel more outdated rather than classically timeless (not a fault of the tour, just an aspect of Argentina vintage).

Overall - would recommend, just make sure you align on expectations beforehand!
