This review is grossly overdue. My friends and I, four in total, went to BA in October. We didn't know much about the city and wanted to have a guide take us around. I found Marcelo On trip advisor. Our entire group was extremely impressed with him. He was so accommodating and knew so much about the city. We couldn't... More

My husband and I just finished up 1 1/2 days with Marcelo. What a great time! We learned about Argentina's history, saw incredible sights, got tasty recommendations for restaurants and had a lovely time with Marcelo. At the end of our time with him, we considered him a good friend. Let him show you Buenos Aires and you won't be... More

We overheard Marcelo in the Recoleta Cemetery, explaining a monument to a couple of fellow Americans. He was so well-informed; his English so good ; his personality so appealing and enthusiastic that we barged in and asked if we could have his contact information. The other couple were also very happy with him. We did make contact, and spent the... More

Booked Marcelo based on his stellar TA reviews for 1 full day and 2 half days in Feb 2012. Could not have been more pleased with the experience. Every email I sent (and there were a lot) was very promptly replied to. He was always pleasant, enthusiastic, and a great source of useful information. A true Porteno, Marcelo knows his... More

We had a 4 day stay in BA with my husband. We wanted to do a tour but was not interested in a cheesy bus tour. I found Marcelo through trip advisor and I must say he made our stay in BA. Booking with him was easy- he responded quickly and answered all my questions. On our first day he... More

Our ship was late in docking but Marcelo patiently waited hours for us. He was very knowledgable about BA history and politcal issues. We thought we knew exactly what we wanted to see but he had some great ideas and our visit was better than we hoped.

We hired him for a half day tour (because he wasn't available for a full day). Marcelo created an itinerary specifically for us and the things we were interested in. He arrived at our hotel on time and was very personable. He has an impressive knowledge of Argentine history and is also well travelled, which gives him a great perspective.... More

Marcelo is a very organized and passionate private guide for Buenos Aires. He answered many of our questions prior to coming and sent us very helpful written information. He designed the tour around what we wanted to see. We would highly recommend him and look forward to going back to Argentina.

Like many other reviewers my Wife and I avoid city centre guides like the plague mainly because of a particularly poor experience when we last visited Buenos Aires some seven years ago. As we were keen not to make the same mistake again we did our research and were determined to do our own thing and just chill out &... More
