Best way to see Buenos Aires - What a wonderful introduction to Buenos Aires. Our guide (forgive me for not remembering his name, I was jet lagged!) went out of his way to show us all the hidden treasures BA has to offer. His love for his city was so touching, he even sang some classic songs to us. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon that I will never forget. Highly recommend this Company (and my guide).
