Good tour to help you navigate and understand the cemetery’s history and some of its famous residents. I don’t think the price of admission would be worth just wondering around so having Mariano guide us through with stories really helped get a unique look at Argentina’s history.

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

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!

Mariano was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. I felt like we got a good amount of background information and historical/cultural context. While it was a larger group, he made sure everyone was able to follow along and have their questions answered.

Very informative tour by our guide Mariano. Gives a great perspective on the history of Argentina. The tour is a full 1 3/4 hr long. Can book many additional walking tours directly through Buenos Aires Free Walks. Groups can be quite large depending on demand. Ours was about 30 people

Guide explains history, story and see several special mausoleums that helps a lot. Otherwise I don’t know which to look around since there are so many- 4900 different mausoleums.
Robert_C, Mar 2026
Very informative and interesting tour. Also extremely reasonably priced. Our guide had incredible knowledge of the famous and infamous persons resting in the cemetery. Highly recommended.

A unique glimpse to this amazing cemetery.. History, incredible stories and such enthusiasm from the guide. She was passionate about the place and I can understand why. Each tomb with its own architectural style and details combined with stories about each family .

Stephanie_S, Mar 2026
Wasn’t expecting to be terribly interested in a cemetery but how wrong I was!
So interesting and informative.
Guide was so good it made it a must do in BUENOS aires.
diane_m, Mar 2026
THe tour leader was absolutely terrific: knowledgeable, patient, funny and interesting. We were a large group but she managed to make herself heard. understood, and invited questions. It’s a worthwhile use of one’s time though the cemetery warrants more than a few hours. May as well visit the famous bookstore while you’re in the area.
