Franco was punctual, is knowledgeable, and did a good job explaining Recoleta Cemetery history. I may have even found one of my family members entombed on the same row as Evita Peron.
If you like Cemeteries, I believe you will like these beautiful works of art and their fascinating history.
Regrettably, due to my ailing back, I had to cut the tour short.
Franco was understanding and assisted me getting an Uber to take me back to my short-term rental.
THANK YOU, FRANCO!!

I was greeted promptly by the very professional and friendly guide Facundo. He really knows his city and had many fascinating stories about the inhabitants, architecture and history of this great city. The pace was relaxed and yet we covered quite a bit of territory. I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with Facundo, and strongly recommend booking this tour with him. He is personable, flexible and easy going. Thanks again!

Our tour guide brought the Recoleta neighborhood and cemetery to life. Rather than just wandering around we learned the history of Buenos Aires while we saw an important neighborhood. Her English was excellent and questions were encouraged. We passed many museums which I would loved to return to. The walk is about 1 1/2 to 2 miles so I would not recommend for those with mobility impairments.
