The Casa Rosada is the seat of the Executive Power of the Argentine Republic. The office of the president of the Nation is inside this building. It´s located in the neighborhood of Monserrat, in front of the historic Plaza de Mayo. Its characteristic color is pink and is considered one of the most emblematic buildings of Buenos Aires. It also houses the Museum of the House of Government, with objects related to the presidents of the country. Inside the building, one can find the "Eva Perón Room", that was used by Eva Perón as one of her offices when she presided over the foundation that bears her name. Photographs are shown that show some highlights of Eva's life and a cap that she wore at the 1949 Youth Championships.
The Luna Park Stadium was the place where the Colonel Juan Domingo Perón and Eva Duarte met for the first time at a charity festival on January 22, 1944
Inaugurated in 2002 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Eva Perón, the Evita Museum has a magnificent exhibition that tells the intense life of Evita in an entertaining and very interesting way. The Museum offers its visitors a journey through the history of Eva Perón, for which photographs, videos and documents of the time are used. At first, visitors are transported to the past to know the time in which the country was and the context in which Evita was involved since childhood. Afterwards, her story is told after meeting Perón and the beginning of her social acts after becoming First Lady.
The Monument to Eva Perón is located in the plaza located on Avenida del Libertador between Agüero and Austria, on the premises of the National Library
In 1948 the Eva Perón Foundation was created and the institution's headquarters were established in that building, where it operated for seven years. Nowadays, the building belongs to the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Buenos Aires and is considered a national historic monument. It is made in Doric style and has an area of 46,000 m2. five floors and two basements. It has the capacity to accommodate 4300 students.
The Recoleta Cemetery is a famous cemetery in the city of Buenos Aires. It is located in the distinguished neighborhood of Recoleta and contains the tombs of many outstanding personalities of the country. It was inaugurated on November 17, 1822. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the city, famous for its numerous and imposing mausoleums and vaults adorned with marbles and sculptures. Its architectural value is a sample of the times when Argentina was an emerging economic power in the late nineteenth century, and the wealthiest families of the city began moving to the Recoleta area and building splendid pantheons in the cemetery.
200 meters away from the main entrance gate of the Recoleta Cemetery stands the vault of the Duarte family where five meters underground in the second basement are the remains of María Eva Duarte de Perón, the real Evita. The vault of the Duarte was opened to receive Evita in 1974 when his remains were repatriated from Spain. Before her body had been the subject of a confusing historical episode that includes her exile in the mid-fifties and his burial in an Italian cemetery under a false name. The vault shows an art deco trend of the thirties. Its door is made of bronze with flowers and leaves that serve as a background to a Latin cross.

This was an excellent tour and the guide was very knowledgeable!!! Would do it again, hands down! A must do for anyone traveling to Buenos Aires!
Guide was knowledgeable and had a good grasp of English. He was able to design worthwhile tour around our mobility disabilities. We felt that we didn’t miss out on anything and came away with an excellent grasp of times and Eva’s place in and contributions to that history
Rosa was very knowledgeable and we very much enjoyed our trip. She also explained the architecture of the city. Due to snow at home we missed going on a city tour. Rosa filled us in a lot.
A very comprehensive historical overview of Evita Perón’s life and legacy in Argentina. XXXXXXXXXXXX
Julietta was one of the best tour guides I have had in all my travels. Her English was impeccable and clear.
We booked a private Evita Perón and Peronism tour with Signature Tours in Buenos Aires, and it was the best tour we had in Buenos Aires. What truly set this tour apart was how effectively Signature Tours made use of the three hours. Rather than following a rigid script, our guide (Alejandra) took the time at the beginning to understand what aspects of Evita and Peronism most intrigued us, and then tailored the experience around those interests. This made the history feel layered, nuanced, and deeply human rather than academic or superficial. Throughout the tour, we noticed multiple group tours visiting the same locations. Watching those groups reinforced how glad we were that we chose a private experience. Being able to ask unlimited questions, explore topics in more depth, and pause where our curiosity led us made a tremendous difference. The conversation felt engaging and thoughtful, not rushed or performative. By the end of the tour, we felt that we had gained real insight into Evita Perón as a person, her political legacy, and the lasting impact of Peronism on Argentine society. We learned far more than we expected to in just three hours. If you are genuinely interested in understanding this pivotal chapter of Argentine history, I highly recommend booking a private tour with Signature Tours. We got an incredible amount out of this experience and would absolutely choose them again.
The Guide was fantastic, felt like we were with a historian, she was very informative and visited many other sites as well
We had a great morning tour with our guide Julieta and driver Michael. Julieta was friendly and knowledgeable and was everything we could hope for in a guide. Starting at the Plaza de Mayo and the Casa Rosada we found out about Eva Peron's life and the areas of Buenos Aires that were important to her.
A great experience! Diego was very knowledgeable and passionate and took me to see many places where Eva had been or was being remembered
Juliette was AMAZING-very personable,professional & extremely knowledgeable. The tour was the perfect introduction to Buenos Aires!
