THE BEST TOUR in Buenos Aires/the world - TELL YOUR FRIENDS ⭐️ BEST TOUR EVER! If there is one experience you should do (in your time, let alone in Buenos Aires) THIS IS IT! It is the perfect combination a your amazing guide Rita will show you around the cemetery and point out all the best sights - whilst the audio track plays through the headphones to tell you stories of the people now in Mausoleums, fill you in on some Argentinian history, all while being SO entertaining. We can’t stop talking about how good this tour was - we are ages 30, 60 and 75 & think ANYONE would enjoy it as much as we did.

Fun and informative - This tour is different in a good way. I guide directs you through the row of tombs while you hear stories about various occupants of Recoleta. It was great fun and you will have a chance to ask questions after the tour. Note, this is not for families with children.

Amazing tour. Totally worth the time and price. - This tour books itself as the Funny Cemetery tour and it is actually funny. They give you a little warning at the beginning that it's not the typical reverential tour so if you're expecting that, take a different one Mike was my guide and he led me through the cemetery as I listened to various voice actors play characters and explain the history. If you're American, you'll recognize the main character, though she is a bit of a stereotype. She is enjoyable to listen to. There's an excellent use of music throughout. You really do learn something. I thought Mike was one of the better your guides I had on this trip. Very, very friendly and accommodating. He even took time afterwards to answer any questions I had as well as recommend places I could go in the neighborhood. I highly recommend this tour. I wouldn't take little kids on it, though. There's nothing wrong with it but it's much more skewed towards adults. The humor would be lost on them anyway.

I loved it, it was so much fun. - I loved it, a different way of knowing and seeing things, this gave added value to what I already knew of the Recollecta Cemetery, plus the stories, as they tell it and the sound make this a very immersive experience. In addition the group of very attentive and friendly guides I recommend it with my eyes closed

Loved it! - Great experience, a different way to learn about illustrious Argentine characters, plus stories set and sound surrounds you with each character or place they speak to you. And the super cute guides.

Scammed! - There was no tour. The guide did not show up. We were there an hour before the time and waited another half hour after the time. We were scammed! We would appreciate our money being refunded. Please do not recommend this tour on your websites! Left us with a bad taste of Buenos Airies!

silly stuff for tourists - I get that some people liked this, but it is a very silly tour. I was so disappointed that I paid for another more knowledgeable tour guide in order to get the real deal, and it was MUCH MUCH better to learn the real history and get closer to what Buenos Aires is about.
