Great tour with Stan - Really nice experience learning facts and tasting good food. Stan was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide making the group feel very welcome. Food included tortilla, empanadas, dulche de leche, special local sausage and ended with ice cream. Also chance for a beer and a wine (or two). Met some nice fellow travellers too. Recommended!

Super San Telmo Exp - from a Gluten sensitive person - Mia of the Sherpa company was an excellent guide, sharing great history and information about Argentina and Buenos Aires. The stops to eat along the tour were excellent choices, with every stop having extremely good and interesting foods. I am gluten sensitive, and Mia arranged for wonderful substitutes at the 2 stops where that was needed (most are gluten free from the start) -- they were both amazingly good and foods new to me that I made note of. We had a very nice group of mostly strangers who all came together nicely under the leadership of Mia. She watched carefully over an older tour member to be sure she saw any possible things that could trip her up, and took great care of us all. I would definitely recommend the Sherpa tour and Mia to anyone wanting to learn about San Telmo. We stopped and went inside places I would not have realized offer so much more than can be seen from the street. A great time!
