    Esteban recounted one story after another as our group strolled through Recoleta Cemetery. He covered history, politics, art, religion, architecture, economics, and social customs. His information provided a greater understanding of this beautiful city and country. All done with great enthusiasm and humor.

    This was a fantastic tour! I did the 9am tour because it is a cooler part of the day, and there are less people in the cemetery earlier in the morning. It turned out to be a fantastic choice-Esteban was our guide, and he is so knowledgeable about both the cemetery and the history of the area. He is such a fantastic story teller, and really engaged us with the lives (and deaths) of the people interred here. Because it’s a small group he was able to conduct the tour without shouting to a crowd (there were six of us) and took time to answer all of the questions we had. A visit to the cemetery would have been quite meaningless without the insight that he gave…I really recommend if you are planning a visit to invest in this fantastic small group tour to get the absolute most out of your time here!

    Absolutely brilliant! If I could I would give 10⭐️ We were lucky enough to just be our own group of 4 but would have been as good in a slightly larger group. Esteban was amazing. Knowledgeable, interesting and had a non-ending fund of amusing anecdotes. He also encouraged, and answered, our numerous questions! We had a superb afternoon with him, the time flew by! I could not recommend this tour highly enough.
