The tour guide Maryann is a professional story teller. I love the stories behind the site and the architecture there are amazing. I enjoy the tour very much.
The tour ran for about 90 minutes and was informative and interesting - importantly, I got so much more out of the experience with the tour than wandering around on my own. Bravo Marianna
We had a really great tour done by Victoria. She was charismatic and engaging throughout telling us the history of the cemetery and some of the graves. Victoria explained everything very well & showed incredible knowledge about the cemetery!
A great tour! Would recommend. Our guide was brilliant, very informative and enthusiastic, and made sure to stop and tell stories from shaded areas which made a big difference during a very hot day!
Very informative and so interesting. Our guide was so knowledgeable and there were so many great facts and stories shared.
We had a wonderful guide for our tour of Recoleta Cemetery. He made the experience informative, engaging and fun (if you can say that about a Cemetery). We really wanted to see it but didn't know where to start with the process. There was little information online about how to get tickets and a guide, but Trip Advisor made it simple. If I have to say anything, it would be that it is called "Free Walks" but there is a fee that needs to be paid. Luckily they advised us in an email beforehand, but it was VERY reasonable and well worth the tour.
Victoria was a wonderful guide! The tour was highly informative, richly anecdotal, and deeply engaging. I highly recommend!
An interesting tour of the famous Recoleta cemetery which provides a little bit of history of Buenos Aires as well as some of the stories from the cemetery. Highly reccomend our guide Vitoria, she was knowledgeable and engaging!
I loved the tour with Victoria. She knows a lot of historical facts around the history of the cemetry and Buoenos Aires. It was informativ, entertaining and for me essential to unterstand the meaning behind the graveyard. So i recommend to do it with a tour.
This tour of Recoleta Cemetery was absolutely fascinating and one of the highlights of my time in Buenos Aires. Mariana was an incredible guide, so engaging, knowledgeable, funny, and passionate about the history of the cemetery, its inhabitants, and the city itself. She brought the stories to life in such an interesting and memorable way, and I learned so much more than I ever expected. The tour was the perfect mix of history, culture, architecture, and storytelling, and Mariana made every moment engaging from start to finish. If you’re visiting Buenos Aires, this is absolutely a must-do tour. Highly recommend Mariana as a guide!
