About the Company

"Al tuntún no" is the first agency of high trend tourism for women in Buenos Aires. They offered cool tours around the city: cultural and shopping tours. The favorite of many is the shoe-shopping tour, a day dedicated to buy shoes, handbags and accessories, have lunch at a chic restaurant or take a delicious tea, accompanied by a chauffeur during the entire journey.

The girls of "Al tuntún no" are a team of young locals, passionate for art, fashion, shoes and good living, who accompany their clients during the tours, advising and showing them places and secrets of this fascinating city. A good option for women who travel alone, or for businessmen, who may travel with their partners, and prefer not to leave them getting bored in the hotel room.
