There were so many treasures there. This man collected items from every corner to put this place together. Its a must see. Our guide was awesome. Sorry I didn't get her name. I was the only English speaking person and she went out of her way to accommodate me. The guides on site only spoke Spanish so she went around with me only, telling me the stories in English. The only thing I didnt like was that there was a lull after the guided tour when we really weren't doing anything till they were ready to leave. All in all, a great experience.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the waiting time at the end of the visit. We will take your comments into account; that time is intended to allow guests to explore the park at their own pace. Thank you again for recommending us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you to another of our experiences. See you next time!
Incredibly awesome place, like a painting realized in building. Truly a work of art. One of the coolest things we have done in Buenos Aires. Highly recommend.
Thank you very much for your comment! We are very happy to know that you enjoyed this unique experience and that you considered it a true work of art in Buenos Aires. We love accompanying our passengers in discovering such impressive corners. It will be a pleasure to welcome you again to live new experiences!
A visit with well organized transportation. An interesting place with medieval type constructions in a beautiful landscape environment. Most motivating was the Teaching by a volunteer of the Order of the Templars dressed in his own style who taught us Gothic script, customs of the Middle Ages and the use of armor of the time. A great person. The unmotivating Campanópolis guide. . There is only a small supermarket for basic purchases. A place that is very advisable and pleasant to visit anyway.
¡Gracias por compartir su experiencia! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutó del recorrido y de la magia de Campanópolis, un lugar realmente único donde cada rincón parece sacado de un cuento medieval.

Cool place, very beautiful, the history of the place inspiring, but it is an extremely expensive tour for the experience. No food options, just some snacks and empanadas, very expensive.
Agradecemos por compartilhar sua opinião! Ficamos felizes que tenha achado o lugar bonito e a história inspiradora. Lamentamos que a experiência não tenha atendido plenamente suas expectativas em relação ao custo e à oferta gastronômica. Vamos considerar seus comentários para continuar melhorando.
The trip was exactly as described. The tour guide was very nice. There was a guided tour on site, but it was not offered in English, which is why our guide translated everything for me separately. This made it feel almost like a private tour. I was the only participant that day who didn't speak Spanish or Portuguese.
Guten Tag Vielen Dank für Ihre freundliche Meinung. Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen die Erfahrung gefallen hat. Mit freundlichen Grüße
Super , imaginative, and unique castles and homes , , a true masterpiece of architect . I walked around and everything was so diferent, and wildly imaginative. It’s a large tract of land but easily walk
Thank you for your kind comments. We're so glad you enjoyed your experience. Best regards.
An area of a land with different style of buildings created by the owner of the land. All the materials used are recycled and from the area mostly from Buenos Aires from demolished buildings.
