Great tour - money and time well-spent! - Nahuel was a terrific tour guide. This was our first trip to Argentina and our first activity in Buenos Aires. Nahuel provided wonderful and interesting information about the history of Argentina, Buenos Aires and the La Boca neighborhood. Nahuel's storytelling style was entertaining and educational. His suggestions and tips made us want to return the following day to appreciate even more of La Boca. It was the perfect intro to a wonderful trip to Argentina.

Mariana, an extraordinary and savvy guide - We booked 2 tours: Recoleta and la boca. We ran into Mariana twice. Great English pronunciation. She had interesting facts of the places we visited and walk. Both meetings on time, it took the time as expected and it really brought the places we visit to the historic context and what happened during past times. Absolutely recommended working with this company

the tour you need, you just don't know it yet - I found the tour on tiktok and I would never have thought that I had found such a great tour to take! My girlfriend and I took the tour in English with the guide Maria, a charming person, passionate about La Boca and we could feel the affection she has for the place. It's a quick tour, but with very interesting information about relevant moments and personalities from the place and Buenos Aires. I recommend it 100%, I return to Brazil with expectations exceeded. Thank you, Maria. You can be sure we won't forget you. 🩷

Good free tour but improve schedule and speech - The free tour of La Boca and Recoleta are good, but they must be done at a different time in summer, they cannot leave at 11 or 10:30 with more than 30 degrees, too hot. Exhausting. And you have to improve the speech of the guides, low level.
