Traveler reviews
Interesting learning experience about a specific Buenos Aires art style
This was a walk of a local area to highlight one specific type of art that was started in the late 1800s, Fileteado porteño. https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/filete-porteno-in-buenos-aires-a-traditional-painting-technique-01069 A local artist, who was very pleasant and helpful, instructed us and we painted our own pieces. It was interesting. I didn't realize it was going to be about just one art style. The guide took us to the main touristy market at the end, Mercado San Telmo, and we had lunch there. It was a nice experience because it was Sunday and that's when Mercado San Telmo has a large artisan market. We bought some artwork from a vendor/artist the guide recommended.
excellent alternative tour!
Last Week, I took the artisans tour. It`s a good option if you want to have a glimpse of typical paintings and silver handcrafts.It`s a half day tour, it takes around three hours and if you want to do something different from the city tour, this option fits!
