We had the pleasure of being guided through San Telmo with Irina on March 24. This turned out to be the Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice, a national holiday. Besides an excellent historical overview of this original Buenos Aires barrio, we were also provided insight into the cultural past of the Argentinean people. We began at Parque Lezama, toured through the Plaza Dorrego and San Telmo Market to finish at the iconic statues of Mafalda and friends. The pace was moderate, the empanadas at the Market excellent, and Irina's knowledge comprehensive. There are many places to visit in Buenos Aires, but San Telmo is not to be missed. The tour and the guide were a perfect match.
Rafa and Irina were very good guides, very knowledgeable of the area, very attentive and friendly both, with a lot of willingness to answer all questions and questions
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste la experiencia con Rafa e Irina.
While our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, we didn't get any drinks/snacks or entrance to some of the places that the tour listed. This tour was VERY expensive for what it was.
My guide Gaby was so kind and informative. The tour was lots of fun and I learned a lot about the city, I would book with this group again when I come back!
Very friendly cool guide that felt like hanging out with an old friend. Interesting walking tour of San Telmo with some off the beaten path discoveries. Wish we had another day in town to go back and browse more

San Telmo is such a fun area and gives an amazing taste of local life. We highly recommend booking this tour on a Sunday so you can see San Telmo at its finest (there is a massive street market every Sunday)!
