Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

You’ll start your Buenos Aires wine tour in the trendy area of Palermo Hollywood. There, you’ll not only meet your fellow wine fans on the tour, but also get an introduction to the culture of Argentine wine. You’ll taste your first glass of the country’s famous Malbec at an art gallery, where you’ll also learn what makes Argentine art — and this wine — so unique.
Then, your wine tour takes you to a wine cellar for your own personal tasting bar. A local wine expert will lead the tasting session and teach you everything you wanted to know about Argentine wine, from its culture and origins, to how it’s cultivated, processed, and bottled. As you take in your wine lesson, you will also have the opportunity to taste many of the different wines that Argentina has to offer, because you can’t be an expert without putting those taste buds to work! You’ll also learn how to drink Argentina’s famous Malbec like the locals do — because #localsknow, after all.
After the wine tasting session, your Buenos Aires tour moves onto one of Palermo’s best local bars, where you can taste a real fernet. Hopefully you’ll discover why this bitter digestif is so widely consumed by local Argentineans. You can continue your night at this bar or get the local scoop from your guide on the best nearby spots in Palermo.
