We had a full day with Oliver and really enjoyed the entire tour with him. Beside trying some typical Empanadas he told us a lot of interesting things while walking around through the city and showing us great places. We laughed a lot and got a nice connection to the city of Buenos Aires aswell as for the current situation and history of the country. If you find the time and are interested in a special experience - just do this tour, it s really one of the best experiences i had while travelling around.What a terrific way to spend a day in Buenos Aires.

What a terrific way to spend a day in Buenos Aires. Jessica, our America raised tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the history, culture, and religious customs of Argentina. We were shown parts of the Recoleta cemetery likely missed in larger group tours. Did I mention it was just my wife and I with Jessica. Jessica took us to parts of the city we hadn’t seen on earlier tours which greatly expanded our knowledge of Argentina and Buenos Aires. We highly recommend this tour and Jessica.We did a full day walking tour with Ceri. It rained most of the day and could have been a total bust, but it was a fantastic day. Ceri's passion for Buenos Aires and his natural affability brought Buenos Aires to life for us. It didn't feel like 'just' a city tour - it felt like a friend was show...
We did a full day walking tour with Ceri. It rained most of the day and could have been a total bust, but it was a fantastic day. Ceri's passion for Buenos Aires and his natural affability brought Buenos Aires to life for us. It didn't feel like 'just' a city tour - it felt like a friend was showing you around their city - and a city Ceri loves. We saw all of the areas 'promised' on the website and went off the beaten path to 'shelter' from the rain in local bars, tiny cool restaurants and an amazing book store. More importantly than all the things we saw, we got a sense of the people and vibe of this amazing city - the buena onda - an insight we would never have appreciated without Ceri.Wonderful company, wonderful tour, wonderful guide! Chris was extremely knowledgeable and enjoyable to be with. He took us to so many of the interesting and diverse communities in Buenos Aires and we learned a great deal of its history.

He took us to so many of the interesting and diverse communities in Buenos Aires and we learned a great deal of its history. Near the end of the tour, walking through the Recoleta Cemetery was truly amazing. Before returning to our hotel, we ended up at a fabulous ice cream parlor - a treat well deserved!
