Private Filetado Tour of San Telmo

We'll gather at the scheduled time at El Federal Bar, a classic spot in the San Telmo neighborhood of Buenos Aires.

To kick things off, depending on the time you choose, we'll enjoy breakfast or a snack that comes with two croissants paired with your choice of coffee, coffee with milk, or tea.

Following this tasty start, we'll embark on a stroll through San Telmo to explore the traditional art of fileteado porteño, beginning our journey with a visit to the home of the renowned fileteador, Martiniano Arce. Our exploration will also take us to other significant sites like the San Pedro Telmo parish church and the Old Hotel Gallery.

Our private tour of San Telmo will lead us to more emblematic spots associated with this unique Buenos Aires art form, including the Tasca de los Cuchilleros, the home of fileteador Jorge Muscia and Esteban de Luca's house.

The grand finale of our private tour will be a fileteado workshop led by a master of the craft, providing the perfect opportunity to delve into this art form.

After spending three to four hours together, we'll wrap up our adventure at the San Telmo market.
