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.

Victoria did a great job. Told fascinating stories and gave great details. Liked all the ghost stories added. Work your time!
Pamela_V, Mar 2026
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
Alyssa_K, Mar 2026
This was a great way to explore the cemetery! Victoria was great and very informative and friendly. A good story telling
chunning_l, Mar 2026
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.
Moira_C, Mar 2026
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 .
Paul_H, Mar 2026

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.

Our tour of the recoleta cemetery was excellent. Our guide Victoria was very knowledgeable about the site. Her english was excellent and we enjoyed learning about the cemetery.
Bryan_B, Feb 2026
Marianna is a great guide. She provided interesting information about several of the mausoleums, and the history of the cemetery in general.
Michael_S, Feb 2026
Our guide was Mariana. She was very knowledgeable. She recognized that the sun and heat might be a problem and kept the guests in the shade as much as possible, which we really appreciated
Sue_L, Feb 2026
Great insight into the history of Buenos Aires. The excellent guide Victoria was personable and spoke clearly.
Megan_R, Feb 2026
This tour is an excellent way to add richness and depth to the fascinating Recoleta Cemetary! The provider was extremely organized, professional, prepared, and experienced. Our guide Mariana’s English was excellent, which allowed her to communicate to her audience clearly, effectively, and articulately. She is a master storyteller! We learned in-depth about many individuals and families buried at the cemetary, discussed art and architecture, and even lightly touched on Argentina’s political history. Highly recommend!!
Wendy_R, Feb 2026
Such a unique place with a huge variety of mausoleums. Marion did a get job telling stories about the people buried in the cemetery.
Rachel_V, Feb 2026
We had Victoria and she was amazing as our guide through the cemetery. Told very interesting stories, went at a good pace and was engaging and easy to understand. Highly recommend.
Bill_M, Feb 2026
The stories our guide told brought the place to life. Lots of history relevant beyond the cemetery gates.
Caroline_M, Feb 2026
This is a must do tour. Our guide, Victoria, was very engaging and had lots of wonderful stores to tell. Having a guide meant we could easily understand the history of the cemetery and area of Recoleta as well as learning about Argentina. The current resting place of Eva Peron was beautifully described and we learnt so much.
Brad_M, Feb 2026
Our guide Juan was very knowledgeable and personable making this unique experience both informative and enjoyable.
Cheryl_H, Feb 2026
Great tour. Mary, our guide, was both informative and entertaining. Learned a lot. Without a guide, it would be hard to really get much out of a tour of the cemetery.
