vacation Buenos Aires

It would be helpful to note in the description of the tour that this is not a private tour and the tour does not allow time for taking multiple selfies, shopping along the way and so on. WE were a group of 5 persons and we had to wait for a couple who stopped to shop 2 times, took selfies multiple times and the rest of us had to wait. The guide let them know that we had to get to the Recoleta cemetery by 1700hrs and that we had many things to see before that but this appeared to fall on deaf ears. In fact, they told me the tour should start earlier to accommodate for shopping and so on.

WALKING TOUR Buenos Aires

Sylvia was highly knowledgeable of and passionately conversant in the cultural, social, and political history of Buenos Aires and made this a very enlightening experience for me. She easily switched between English and Spanish for the benefit of those among us who were stronger in one or both. Every corner, stop or tombstone had its fascinating story. We kept rushing toward the end to make it in time (to shortly before closing) to the vast visual and historic wealth of the Recoleta Cemetery. HER very apt USE OF THIS LATTER FEATURE as a teaching tool might have come earlier in the tour (although the Sun mightve been merciless at noon) perhaps after the lunch stop in the San Telmo Mercado and I would recommend skipping the touristy hanging umbrella street (which is seen in Most Latin American Cities and not at all special... focus on S.Telmo as she did and maybe leave BOCA for last... as that probably stays open past 6p. She did an amazing job of staying on pace & definitely can conduct a tour of the Cemetery as it's Own Tour! Fascinating.

Denise was outstanding! It was good to have her all to ourselves. She was very sensitive and set a perfect pace. This very important for my husband who walks with a stick. We were given some very interesting information about the history of Argentina in addition to what life is like living here. I would thoroughly recommend this activity.
