    Excellent tour led by incredibly knowledgeable local guide. Many good tours are staffed by folks a couple of towns over who inform via "here is X and Y also happened." This tour though (led by Sofí) was delivered with a passion for the subject/locations that showcased the human experience along with relevance to modern experiences. We greatly enjoyed how Sofí relayed the history of various monuments/locations/individuals then encouraged exploration of the realistic & ethical implications of those events up to modern day. Pace was great & guide was considerate (regularly checking in & encouraging participants to rest/engage). Many times I've found tours to cemeteries, consecrated ground, temples, etc to be delivered in poor taste with either too little reverence for the location OR delivered with a dogmatic agenda. This tour did neither of those. Sofí expertly defined and described the religious contexts/influence of locations which are valuable to both Jewish and Catholic beliefs with respectful deference along with rational explaination of the socio-cultural value/implications. It should be explicitly pointed out how empatheticlly she delivered a tour through an incredibly complex (active) cemetery with major political value. Wear walking shoes and be ready to engage in thoughtful dialogue. This tour would be good for people who want to see interesting sights, but is ideal for folks who want to engage in dialogue & listen to understand the context/history of this fascinating place. 10/10 worth far more than the cost & definite "to-do" for trips to BA.

    Nico is very knowledgeable. As an introvert, I was a bit worried about the interactive part in the description, but it was fun and durable. I'm glad I chose this tour to start my trip in the country.

    Fantastic tour! Can’t recommend it highly enough! Ignacio shared a wealth of information about the neighborhood, the history, and Buenos Aires generally. And he was a pleasure to talk to. If you want a walking tour, look no further. This is it.
