Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable on each section of the tour. We started at the church, went through the cemetary, and then followed the main street to check out some beautiful architecture. Caroline included lots of interesting stories and details that we would have never known on our own. She also gave us a sheet of recommendations in Buenos Aires... More

Words cannot express how awesome Gabriel and Carolina are! There were three of us on the tour with them on a Saturday and even though it was wet and cold out they were more than patient and answered all of our questions. They are truly the sweetest people you ever will meet in town. They even gave us information about... More

My wife, son (age 7) and I took the tour with Caroline a few days ago and it was great! Caroline was very knowledgeable and friendly, and gracefully accommodated a steady stream of questions from my son. For us, it was just the right amount of time in the cemetery, affording plenty of time to see other interesting buildings in... More

Carolina was our tour guide and she was extremely friendly and willing to answer the many questions I had about the Recoleta neighborhood and the history behind it. The tour takes a few hours and we never... More

Went today by myself and carolina and Gabrielle were fantastic. There were only 2 people but they still went ahead and were very passionate and only work for tips. They were brilliant at answering questions and helping me find my feet with advice on buenos aires e.g where to drink Mate..etc. Definately recommend

The tour included the Recoleta Cemetery and walk along Alvear Street.... More
