Do it for the vibe and shop after - Juan in a million had a great attitude and was always joyous to give us information. He stayed after in order to talk about mate, food, and things to know about the city in general in terms of safety and other recommendations. The way he narrates the tour is engaging and always and interesting story. A very happy individual, I’ll remember Juan in a million

Telmo with Juan was One in a Million! - Juan was a fabulous guide, so knowledgeable and his English was very good, easy to understand! He gave us such good information, and we especially appreciated him staying after some 20 minutes of his own time answering all of our various questions, and providing an email of his recommendations. Exceptional tour! Loved Telmo, it's a must see.

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.
