All the cemetery statues are brought to life on this tour - Jimena did a fabulous job of bringing the cemetary to life and sharing such interesting stories. So much better than just walking through by ourselves

Very educational - We met Vicky at front gate and she took us through the cemetery. Her English was very good and she knew alot about the cemetery. Well worth doing to understand the history.

Beautiful way to learn some of the history of Buenos Aires - Aside from the sheer beauty of the place it really tells a lot about the history of Argentina. And our guide, Hermena, told the stories and background information in an entertaining way. Highly recommended.
