Great Tour and perfect guide
Claudio is an excellent guide. He gave us a very thorough and vivid account of the life of an immigrant family in the historical La Boca. His description of the origins of tango and its relationship to the neighborhood was superb.

Fab tour
Fantastic tour with Santiago, we enjoyed learning about the area and places to visit once we'd finished the tour, particularly the workshops for the Colon theatre. Fantastic, and we never would have found them on our own.
