A great walking tour! - We loved the San telmo tour, and it was the favorite we did out of the 3 walks from this company. Our guide Juan was passionate and knowledgeable about the area. We saw quite a few sights and it was really nice to get oriented to the market area.

Non parade side of the city - It was our third free walking tour in Buenos Aires. We did it with our guide Marianne. It was very interesting and showed us other side of the city. We met with heroes of comics and I began to understand Argentina people better. Thank you, Marianne!

Walking Fun in San Telma and La Boca - Marianne was an excellent guide, ( she also was our guide for the La Boca walking tour). San Telma and La Boca are must-do walking tours in BA. So much to see, learn, and good fun.

Special corners of San Telmo and Montserrat! - Sebastian very friendly! He taught us very special things about Montserrat and San Telmo that helped us understand how my Italian uncle who emigrated to Argentina at the beginning of the twentieth century could have lived. Grazie mille, merci beaucoup!
