Republica de Boca with Nahuel & Jenni!! - Walking tours are hit and miss but not when you are with Nahuel/Jenni!! Knowledgeable, friendly, welcoming, respectful of history, this was a great walking tour through Republica de La Boca. You get a great perspective of how the City started, its art, immigration and the importance of music. Really fantastic tour. Gracias.

An excellent experience - Santiago was the perfect guide! - An excellent insight into the history and culture of the La Boca area of Buenos Aires. Our guide, Santiago, was excellent. He was passionate, well informed and engaging. We learnt about the origin of the Tango, a local artist’s impact on the district, the history of the river/bridge, and the meaning behind the regions urban artwork and murals. We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit this area, as our experience would not have been the same if we had visited by ourselves.
