brilliant, haunting - I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Latin American history, U.S. history, the Cold War, fascism--or just Buenos Aires. We learned so much and Howard was a very engaging and informative guide. He took us to sites that we would have missed on our own, including the ESMA prison and the memorial to the desaparecidos in the northern part of BA. I will never forget this tour --thank you for a very special and unforgettable day!

Above and Beyond! - Howard is an amazing guide! We booked this tour on a holiday so the main museum was closed. Somehow, Howard’s explanations made us feel like we were there. Because we couldn’t visit the main museum, we visited other sites. The tour was based on our wants and needs. Plus, I was traveling with my elderly mother. Howard went above and beyond to accommodate her physical limitations. Based on our experience with Howard, I would recommend this tour and company to everyone!

Excellent tour of Argentine history and culture! - We had an excellent time with our guide, Duchan, who was very knowledgeable. He took us around in his comfortable car and was a good driver. He offered to let me borrow a hat because it was a very sunny dqy in BA. Having a private tour focusing on this specific niche of history very informative, yet we also got to visit a wide range of culturally significant sites. We didn't have a long visit in town, but we got to see all the historical highlights. Thanks, Duchan!

An Experience Which Shines Light on Argentine History - Howard provided an excellent tour. He is very knowledgeable about Argentine history and he is a native English speaker. I particularly enjoyed the tour of the Memorial Park, but the visit to Ricoletto Cemetery was also filled with narratives about the way the wealthy or notable citizens lived. It is intriguing in terms of what it reflects in the culture. Finally, Howard provides auto transportation, a welcome relief to the tours of scouting out a guide at a street corner.

It was a very meaningful... - It was a very meaningful and informative tour. We were able to see many places in Buenos Aries and learn about the history. Howard was a very attentive and friendly guide. We not only learned about the Dirty War period but also talked about other current cultural topics. I took this tour with my teenage daughter and we would both recommend it!

great experience - a few of my students did this tour and were amazed,thankyou so much,they learnt so much,they want to recommend to anyone who loves history and culture

Fantastic Tour - John was an impeccable tour guide. He was prompt and professional, knowledgeable, and provided insight that we would not have been able to get if we hadn't taken the Argentina's Dirty Wars Tour. His commentary was compelling; i was moved to tears multiple times during the tour. What i particularly appreciated was his objective, non-judgmental delivery. He answered, clearly and concisely, all of our questions about Argentine culture. John customized our trip based on the fact that we had seen a number of sites that were originally included in the tour. I can't recommend him highly enough.

highly recommended - informative and enjoyable tour with, smooth logistics - We had a wonderful Dirty War tour with John, who is incredibly knowledgable on Argentina's political, social, economic and cultural landscape. We learned so much and felt comfortable to ask John all of our questions about the sensitive period in Argentina's history. He was a pleasure to spend time with, a skilled tour guide and historian, and a fantastic chauffeur around the city. This experience is a GREAT way to see many of the important and most relevant sights which are spread out and far away from one another around the gigantic city of Buenos Aires... I don't think we could have seen everything in 1 day without doing this tour. John picked us up from our accommodations, and from that moment on we didn't have to think about anything else except enjoying ourselves. He was also flexible to customize the tour slightly to our preferences. I highly recommend this tour by Buenos Aires Taxis Private Tours.
