Traveler reviews
Interesting tour with some limitations
It was an okay experience. The building is architecturally very interesting.. The guide had a good grip on Spanish and English. At $50 USD a person in a group of 25 , it seemed overpriced. The guide had to talk in Spanish and then translate into English. It was a long process. A separate English-speaking tour would have been much better. I also would have liked more discussion of the architecture as it related to Dante’s writing…maybe more quotes from the Divine Comedy on which the building is based. We did like the guide and should make that clear.
Fun view of Buenos Aires
The tour itself is great as is the building. The best part though are the gorgeous city views you get from the higher floors. Great experience!
Excellent Palacio Barolo
Excellent experience, sunset is the best time, there was no space for 6:30 PM but we went at 5:00 PM and were able to enjoy the sunset at a lower price. Highly recommended.
Good Barnott great
This was a must see experience for my recent day in Buenos Aires. It was good, but I thought the building would be much more interesting architecturally and decoratively so I was disappointed in that. The view from the top of the building is spectacular. But be aware that you have to ascend many flights upstairs to get there.
A Beautiful Journey Through Dante’s Buenos Aires
I had an absolutely wonderful tour of Palacio Barolo. Our guide was fantastic — knowledgeable, engaging, warm, and clearly passionate about the building and its history. She brought the entire experience to life by explaining the architecture, the symbolism of Dante’s Divine Comedy, the story of Luis Barolo and Mario Palanti, and the meaning behind so many details I would have missed on my own. What made the tour especially memorable was the way she connected the building’s design to its deeper themes — Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise — while also pointing out the small architectural details, optical illusions, original features, and hidden stories that make Palacio Barolo so unique. The views from the top were breathtaking, but the storytelling is what made the visit unforgettable. This was one of the highlights of my time in Buenos Aires, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.
