I was hesitating about taking the tour at first, since I had only one day left in Buenos Aires. I'm glad that I did go, it was once in a life time experience, something you won't get to see anywhere else. The tour guide Marcilo was such a great to have hin with us, very knowledgeable person and speaks both languages (English and Spanish) fluently. The driver did great job taking us there and brinking us back. Definately recommend this tour if you are in Buenos Aires. Thank you so much guys. I will miss those days for sure.FrederikkeAnna_A
