Fun and informative city tour

Jael was so friendly and knowledgeable, the tour was a 10/10! She really gave us a local’s perspective on BA and the neighborhood, and she even recommended a play that we ended up seeing and loving the next evening. We’re so glad we booked this tour and were lucky to get her as our guide! The opera house is gorgeous and the experience was really special.

Teatro Colon and other Buenos Aires sights

My trip was fantastic- the guide Mariela was lovely. We got on really well and I saw a lot more than i expected. I highly recommend going to see the inside of the Teatro Colon and of course many of the other magnificent ‘palaces’ of Buenos Aires. Jane Carthey

The tour guide was very good. The description of the tour was a bit confusing. I had to ask around for information in meeting points before actually finiding the right spot.
