Leona was a great tour guide - showed us the highlights of Recoleta Cemetery, and offered the show us the surrounding area. Unfortunately we were in a time crunch, so we declined. Highly suggest this tour if you're short on time or just want a brief overview of the cemetery and neighborhood of Recoleta.

Hola! Muchas Gracias por sus comentarios!
My wife and I were looking for a tour of the recoleta cemetery but had just gotten to the city and wanted to learn more about Buenos Aires. Our tour was a great mix of history, architecture and seeing the neighborhood in addition to the cemetery. It really helped us put the cemetery in context. Emi was a fantastic guide, we felt completely at ease with him and he clearly knew what he was talking about. This is a must do if you want to understand the Recoleta neighborhood and cemetery more.
Hi jilian we are very glad to see that you realy enjoy the tour. We hope to see you again by Buenos Aires!
