What does Buenos Aires represent for you?
Buenos Aires is a city that pulses with energy at every hour of the day and night. It is intensity, history, and passion, but also warmth and hospitality. What makes it unique is its inexhaustible energy: here, there’s always a café open for a leisurely conversation, a bookstore lit up until midnight, and a plaza where life continues to flow regardless of the hour. Its streets tell stories, its museums safeguard centuries of art and culture, and its restaurants invite you to share flavors until dawn. Buenos Aires is not just a city to visit—it’s a city to experience and feel.
What is DePasseios’ mission, and what sets you apart in the industry?
When I founded DePasseios in 2013, I started with my car and a clear idea: to show the city as if I were guiding a friend. I realized that putting a passenger on a bus and taking them around Buenos Aires wasn’t enough. People didn’t just want to see the monuments—they wanted to feel the city, walk its streets, and talk with someone who lives it every day.
That’s what sets us apart. We don’t focus on the quantity of tours, but on the quality of each experience. Every visit must be special, authentic, and unforgettable. Our goal is to create real connections with each traveler, so that those who choose DePasseios don’t just take home a great story, but the feeling of having explored Buenos Aires with a friend. For this reason, our schedules are almost always booked two months in advance. We’re not interested in the number of tours we conduct, but in how unforgettable each one is—and our clients truly appreciate this.

How does tour personalization enhance the customer experience and create a competitive advantage?
Every traveler is different, and at DePasseios, we know this well. That’s why customizing each tour is the key to delivering a truly unique and meaningful experience. We don’t offer rigid or standardized itineraries—instead, we adapt to each person’s interests, timing, and expectations. Some travelers want to get lost among antique bookstores, others seek hidden gastronomic spots, and many simply want to experience the city like a local. Our job is to listen, understand what each traveler wants, and provide them with an authentic experience, without rushing or pre-set scripts. This attention to detail is what makes us different. We don’t do mass tourism—we create experiences where each traveler feels like they have a friend waiting for them in Buenos Aires, ready to show them the city with passion and deep knowledge. This connection is our greatest competitive advantage.
What are DePasseios’ future prospects and growth strategies in the B2B market?
Rather than focusing on limitless expansion, at DePasseios, we want to keep doing what we do best: offering unique, high-quality experiences. Our priority is not growing in volume but strengthening what we have built over the years, maintaining the level of excellence that defines us. In the last four years, the dedication and passion of our team have led us to win more than six international awards, including recognition among the top 20 tourism operators in Latin America and the top 15 in South America. These achievements not only make us proud but also reinforce our commitment to every traveler and business partner who trusts us. However, more than the awards, what truly motivates us is the people. We are deeply grateful to everyone who chooses us, and above all, to our team, who work with a rare passion and love. This commitment is what makes each tour special—a value reflected in every review we receive. Our future goal is clear: to keep doing what we love, with the same passion and quality as always.
