Beyond amazing

The private architecture tour was such a treat. Our guide Mariela was a lecturer in art history and studio art at the local university, she was incredibly knowledgeable and on top of that sweet natured, patient, just a lovely person to spend the day with. We had a private driver as well as Mariela so we could walk or ride around the city to our preference. Great activity for mixed age groups.

Very knowledgeable and...

Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We had a vehicle to move from site to site but also got out to walk around or in the places which was nice. We ended at a very nice restaurant on the guises recommendation.

Perfect intro to Buenos Aires

Great way to start a visit to Buenos Aires. Our guide Mariela was very knowledgeable and quickly identified what was important for us. She was flexible and adjusted the tour as we went to include an informative walk through Recoleta Cemetery. She provided so many valuable recommendations and allowed us to customize where we ended the tour. We were a party of 6 and the van was perfect to get around combined with some walking. Highly recommend Signature Tours.
