Amazing San Telmo Food Tour - Maya, our guide, was so friendly and impressionable. She was quite knowledgeable of the San Telmo area and gave incredible tips outside of the normal tour information! The food was delicious and we went to restaurants we never would’ve discovered. My favorite part was the San Telmo market, which without a guide might be overwhelming to pick a good meal. Maya led us to local, hidden gems inside the market we would’ve missed.
