Five Stars - We enjoyed our tour with Jimena - Jimena was excellent. Fluent speaker of English with deep knowledge not only of this cemetery, but of the history of burial practices and the history of notable citizens of this country. Her knowledge of local urban legends was especially fun. And yes. We really just wanted to see Eva Peron’s tomb. But there is so much more here.

Great cemetery touring in Ricoleta - I really enjoyed the full tour as our guide was so wonderful as she explained all relevant information. Well spoken in English, she gave us a real understanding of the history. Who would have thought spending 90 minutes in a cemetery and on vacation! Do recommend it
