Stan was the best! Very personable and had a lot of knowledge of not only the food of course, but the history of Argentina. Our group had very engaging conversations with him as well as each other and the food/ drinks were delicious! I loved the variety of types of food and all we got to see along the way to each place. The San Telmo Market was amazing! Would do this tour again!!
