Matías is a great history teacher. His experience helps him, and it helps entertain the group by asking questions and joking. He also has a lot of knowledge, which prevents him from falling into myths and prejudices

Excellent tour with Santiago Negri. The tour is super friendly, suitable for all kinds of audiences, and Santi was always attentive that we were comfortable, in the shade, and that everyone heard the history of the neighborhood. You can tell that he loves what he does and transmits with a lot of enthusiasm, he became super bearable and fun. More than recommended!
