Fabulous tour with Mariela - We had a great day with Mariela, who is friendly, charming and very knowledgeable and passionate about the beautiful city of Buenos Aires. Mariela went above and beyond, answering all our questions and even assisting us with obtaining money even though the tour had finished. Thank you so much Mariela!

Informative and personal - Herlado was the perfect guide. His knowledge of the sites we visited and overall South American history was incredible. He was friendly and totally engaged so that we felt it truly was a personal excursion. It was a highlight of our trip.

Every beautiful tomb tells a fantastic story! - Franco was punctual, is knowledgeable, and did a good job explaining Recoleta Cemetery history. I may have even found one of my family members entombed on the same row as Evita Peron. If you like Cemeteries, I believe you will like these beautiful works of art and their fascinating history. Regrettably, due to my ailing back, I had to cut the tour short. Franco was understanding and assisted me getting an Uber to take me back to my short-term rental. THANK YOU, FRANCO!!

What a great tour! - I was greeted promptly by the very professional and friendly guide Facundo. He really knows his city and had many fascinating stories about the inhabitants, architecture and history of this great city. The pace was relaxed and yet we covered quite a bit of territory. I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with Facundo, and strongly recommend booking this tour with him. He is personable, flexible and easy going. Thanks again!

A walk in BA history - Our tour guide brought the Recoleta neighborhood and cemetery to life. Rather than just wandering around we learned the history of Buenos Aires while we saw an important neighborhood. Her English was excellent and questions were encouraged. We passed many museums which I would loved to return to. The walk is about 1 1/2 to 2 miles so I would not recommend for those with mobility impairments.

Informative Quick Tour - The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. It was nice to see a few different sites around Recoleta instead of just the cemetery. Great way to get acquainted with this part of Buenos Aires

Fantastic and Fun Walking Tour of the Ricoleta Neighborhood - We were a group of 6 couples from the US and Canada with only a few days in Buenos Aires following a Princess cruise to Antarctica. Signature Tours arranged 4 private tours for us and the Ricoleta walking tour was one of them. Our guide Rosti was the best ever—personable, very knowledgeable about Buenos Aires, and great fun to be with. Because we could customize our tour, he suggested a couple of wonderful options on our way to and from Ricoleta. We started our tour with coffee and the most beautiful, amazing pastries at La Ideal, a confiteria in a beautiful building that is being restored to its former French Belle Epoch glory. What a wonderful treat! We met the chef, bought his book, savored every bite. From there we proceeded to walk through parks and by the colorful Cultural Center, visited 2 beautiful churches, and strolled through the beautiful and interesting Ricoleta Cemetery. Rosti was fabulous, told us many interesting ghost stories, all with a twinkle in his eye. We finished up our tour with a “surprise” planned by Rosti, a visit to the amazing bookstore, El Ateneo Grand Splendid, just beautiful and a wonderful way to finish up our Buenos Aires tours. We can’t say enough about Rosti, who led us on two tours on different days. He loves his city and his country, is astute about history and current day matters, is a university professor and a fabulous, knowledgeable guide.
