Doing what: Best of Buenos Aires Walking Tour
The tour was interesting and the guide, Carlos, was amusing in a droll way about the history of the city. He seemed very well informed about the history of the architecture in Recoleta. On the downside I thought he spent too much time trying to sell other tours to us and he wasn't very responsive to questions.

Great way to see BA. Adam was a nice tour guide. It's a long tour.. A full 4 hours on a bike, all relatively flat except a little hill to get up to the cemetery in recoleta. The bikes were very old and uncomfortable and not all had baskets to hold your belongings. So they made the tour difficult.

This was fun! It is great introduction to this nice, rich and clean part of the BA. Wide strests with trees, rose gardens and history lesson of Argentina from our tour guide. Because it was Sunday we saw Zombie Parade for Haloween, bicycle festival and market with tango dancers in front of Recoleta.

Excellent tour. The guide was very informative. I did this tour on a Sunday and as a result got to see a lot of markets. It also makes it easier to ride as less cars. The highlight was one of the last stops the Recoletas cemetery. Bikes are basic but the entire ride is on the flat so very easy.

Martin Cheimak was our guide for the Recoleta afternoon walking tour. He was a very engaging and knowledgeable guide. The historical information he provided about Recoleta, BA and there most incredible cemetery was wonderful. It really enhanced our experience.
He also provided excellent answers to the questions we posed to him regarding Buenos Aires the city and Argentina in general.
We continue to be impressed with the quality of tour guides that Viator has provided us on our many journeys across the planet.

I loved seeing Evita's tomb and many of the other totally artistic memorials at the Recoleta Cemetary. Also around the park was a wonderful outdoor crafts market where I scored a super cool necklace, a better than average souvenir.

There was a lot packed into this tour - fascinating stories about the mausoleums in Recoleta cemetery and an insight into Argentina's society.

If you like history, economics, architecture, arts this tour is definitely for you! The local company offers two different tours, a morning walk from Retiro Plaza San Martin to Recoleta and an afternoon tour from Recoleta to Palermo. The tour starts at 2pm, but plan to arrive ahead and have lunch at Cafe Biela which is where the tour starts. It is a historical cafe, in the heart of Recoleta. It even has a terrasse in the shade of a 200 year old tree. The first hour of the tour is dedicated to the Recoleta cemetery. You'll hear amazing stories about the different people, famous and less famous, resting in peace. You'll also hear about Eva Peron and see her tomb. Then, you'll walk along the avenue del Libertador and hear about different monuments and buildings including the national library, Errazuriz palace, the Art museum, etc. The guide we had was very knowledgeable and interesting.

The tour was extensive, and the guide was very knowledgeable and answered our many questions. My only regret was that we didn't stay longer in the gorgeous Recoleta cemetary.

I ended up being the only person on the tour, so I had a wonderful private tour with the guide. I learned a lot about Argentinian history, focusing of course on Eva & Juan Peron during our tour of the Recoleta Cemetery. He had many fascinating stories to share.
