Learning the fascinating history of Argentina Loved learning about the history of the country how it went from from freedom to dictatorship and back again
Very knowledgeable guide who knew so much about Argentinian history and political developments. Highly recommend to anyone who is interesting in learning about the country and culture from political perspective.
We took a private tour of Buenos Aires and Marita was our guide. She was excellent at explaining both the historical and current significance of the buildings, sections of the city and the social/political situations. Having a private tour, she offered us flexibility to emphasize different places to visit, eg San Telmo Market. This was much appreciated. We enjoyed our day and would recommend Marita as tour guide.
We spent a day and a half with Andres, on the Tigre Delta and in BA. He was a wonderful guide, almost like an old friend. He shared his own experience of growing up and living here as well as his knowledge of the history. For our short stay in BA, we enjoyed spending it with him.
Dear R. & L. Thank you so much for coming to Argentina!! It was a pleasure to share 2 days with you!!! I hope to see tou again soon!!! All the best! Andres
