Great value!
Our tour guide was knowledgeable and kind. The tour was 2 hours packed with information. Highly recommend.
G
Good tour and great guide!
The most interesting aspect of this tour is the perspective Vitoria gave us on how the city's elite related to the notion of death and the need to maintain the family's name over the years, compared with the lives and deaths of the La Boca immigrants. The picturesque stories about some individuals were quite interesting and even fun to hear.

Awful Experience
Truly woeful experience. I paid for a guided tour of la recoleta cemetery bit when we arrived, the cemetery was closed for safety reasons and our guide was nowhere to be found. I have been trying to contact Viator for a refund without success.
Operator response
Hello! Your booking was for Friday, September 25. On that day, the tour operated as scheduled. Our guides were at the designated meeting point at the indicated time, welcomed the guests, and entered Recoleta Cemetery. We have the group photo and the guide’s report confirming that the tour took place, and the cemetery was open that day. It is possible that there was some confusion regarding the date, time, or meeting point, or that you did not arrive at the designated meeting point for the tour. We also did not receive any attempt to contact us by phone, WhatsApp, or email. We respond promptly to our guests, and had you contacted us, we would have been able to determine what was happening and assist you immediately. We take our commitments to our guests very seriously and can confirm that the tour was provided as scheduled on the date of your booking.
