Buenos Aires earned the moniker ‘Paris of South America’ in the late 1800s due to an influx of European settlers.

Worth it - This was an amazing tour, with an incredible tour guide Laura. We learned so much about the area and its rich history, while immersing ourselves in the local culture. The cemetery was the crown jewel for sure. Take this tour, ask for Laura, you won’t regret it.

Through the heart of Argentinian history and back. - We got to go with Seba to Recoleta and it was awe inspiring, both the beauty of the neighborhood and the grittiness of some of it's history were just great to get to know. We would've never found out a lot about the argentinian ways, it's history and why it looks so european. Overall a wonderful guide and a great experience. The cemetery is just golden for taking pics!

Worst tour ever - Worst tour I have ever been on, guide didn’t know anything about the area nor showed us anything. Most entertaining bit was when the guide started translating what a near by Spanish guide was saying. The company also refused to provide a refund …..
