Affiliate Disclosure
Every walking tour in this directory is pay what you want, with no booking fee and no fixed price. When a place on a walk is reserved through a link on this site, GuruWalk or freetour.com pays this site a small commission, and those commissions are the only income the site has. They cover hosting and research. Nothing is sold here, and no walk ever costs more because a link on this site was used.
Where The Money Goes
Reading these pages costs nothing, and joining a walk costs nothing up front. Every tour listed here works on a pay what you want basis: the guide is compensated by a tip each walker chooses at the end, not by a fixed fee. GuruWalk manages bookings for its guides, freetour.com for its own, and following a link from this directory adds nothing to what a walker gives. Certain walks carry extras the tip never covers, for instance cemetery entry or the food on the pizzeria walk, and walkers buy those separately on the day.
Your Costs
Each of the walks described on this site is the work of an independent local guide. Names such as Almafuerte, Griselda, Nuria and Buenos Aires Horizon Tours publish on GuruWalk, and Free Walks Buenos Aires publishes its routes on freetour.com. None of them is run by this directory. It employs no guides, rents no offices and takes no bookings. Signing up, asking a question or cancelling all happens directly with the guide on the platform hosting the tour.
Guides And Platforms
This directory is not a tour company, and its only financial relationship with GuruWalk or freetour.com is through their affiliate programmes. GuruWalk hosts free tours published by independent guides; freetour.com does the same for the walks that appear there. When someone reserves a place, that booking belongs to the platform, governed by its terms and its cancellation policy rather than by anything on this site.
Who Leads Each Walk
Behind every listing is a guide who plans the route and picks the start time. Some keep their groups small, as Andreas does with his capped tours, while Free Walks Buenos Aires runs several neighbourhood routes at a larger scale. Either way, the model is identical: guiding is offered pay what you want, and the tip handed over at the end goes straight to the person who led it.
