Leon and team run a first class little operation in Buenos Aires. The food was excellent (in more than 40 countries over six continents - eating in four and five diamond restaurants, on cattle ranches... this the best steak we'd ever had!), we learned about the food and the culture, and we had fun. The service was better (and much... More

What a neat way to learn a bit about Argentina's culture through great food, helpful teachings and simply a fun time. Thanks to Leon and crew for a great night!

The best dinner I have had in years. Go early in the trip because Leon, the host, has great advice on buenos aires.

If you want to learn something about the culture in Argentina, while enjoying some delicious wine and eating great food, this is for you! As I don't eat meat, I made a special request to have something other than steak and I was served the most delicious piece of salmon. The team could not have been more accommodating. Well worth...

I've made empanadas three times since I took the class and can't wait to host an empanada making party for our friends when we get home to the states. I'm pretty sure our party will be a straight up rip-off of Leon's Argentine Experience minus the charm and wit of Leon. We now have the recipes and the skillz, and... More

I found out about the Argentine Experience on tripadvisor and given the consistently high reviews felt this would be worth doing during a recent visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Wow, was it ever!!! We had a great time, met some nice people, learned how to make empanadas, drank some excellent malbec, found the proper way to drink matte (a kind... More

I was eager to visit a "five-star" attraction and was not let down. I was traveling as a solo but it didn't feel that way at the Argentine Experience. Leon is a former tourist guide and it shows as he kept each guest engaged throughout. The food, the activities and the cultural lessons are provided at a comfortable pace that... More

Being the type traveler that tries to stay away from the most popular travel destinations, I have to say I was a bit skeptical when my girlfriend booked us for this tour. She was so right! Leon made us feel like guests, not tourists passing through a normal "tourist mill" experience. If I had only experienced Leon's hospitality and knowledge... More

The best way to describe our experience is to say it was like having dinner with friends that I did not know I had. Leon was knowledgable, friendly, passionate and welcoming. I really love to cook and welcome any opportunity to learn something about a new type of cuisine. I got something even better. Leon gave us insight into true... More
