About this tour
When Jake from our team booked a photo session in Buenos Aires, he got a guided tour of three of the city's most recognisable landmarks — the Obelisk, Plaza de Mayo with Casa Rosada, and Puerto Madero's Puente de la Mujer — with a pair of local photographers in tow to nail the shots. The vibe is relaxed and chatty; you're moving between busy public spaces where tourists cluster, but the photographers know the angles and timing to dodge the worst of it. Ninety minutes covers the ground comfortably, and you walk away with about 30 edited images sent within two days.

What to expect
The session starts at the Obelisk, where you'll get oriented with the photographers and they'll spot the best light and framing before the crowds thicken. You'll then move to Plaza de Mayo to shoot the iconic pink Casa Rosada with its formal colonial backdrop — this spot draws visitors constantly, so the photographers are quick and efficient about positioning you. The final stop is Puerto Madero's Puente de la Mujer, a sweeping bridge span that's Instagram-famous and usually less congested than the earlier spots. Throughout, the two photographers direct you gently — suggesting where to stand, how to angle your body, whether to lean or sit — and they're upbeat about it. You're walking between locations, so bring comfortable shoes. The turnaround on edits is swift; you'll have polished images to download within two days.
Good to know
If you want quality holiday snaps without hiring a personal photographer for a full day, this hits the sweet spot. The three locations are genuinely photogenic and instantly recognisable back home. The photographers know how to work around crowds and natural light, so your pictures will look intentional, not snapshot-ish. Wheelchair accessibility is a genuine strength here — all surfaces are level and the landmarks themselves are easy to navigate.
You're shooting at three of Buenos Aires' busiest spots, so expect other tourists in frame unless you time it perfectly. The 90 minutes is tight if you're a perfectionist or want lots of retakes; the pace is brisk. Not suitable if you're pregnant. Transport between locations is on foot (public transport nearby if you need it, but not included). Bring bright or vintage-style gear — neutrals can look flat in photos. Group size isn't specified, so check if it's one-on-one or small group. Peak tourist hours (late morning, early afternoon) will be busier.
