Informative Quick Tour - The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. It was nice to see a few different sites around Recoleta instead of just the cemetery. Great way to get acquainted with this part of Buenos Aires

Fantastic and Fun Walking Tour of the Ricoleta Neighborhood - We were a group of 6 couples from the US and Canada with only a few days in Buenos Aires following a Princess cruise to Antarctica. Signature Tours arranged 4 private tours for us and the Ricoleta walking tour was one of them. Our guide Rosti was the best ever—personable, very knowledgeable about Buenos Aires, and great fun to be with. Because we could customize our tour, he suggested a couple of wonderful options on our way to and from Ricoleta. We started our tour with coffee and the most beautiful, amazing pastries at La Ideal, a confiteria in a beautiful building that is being restored to its former French Belle Epoch glory. What a wonderful treat! We met the chef, bought his book, savored every bite. From there we proceeded to walk through parks and by the colorful Cultural Center, visited 2 beautiful churches, and strolled through the beautiful and interesting Ricoleta Cemetery. Rosti was fabulous, told us many interesting ghost stories, all with a twinkle in his eye. We finished up our tour with a “surprise” planned by Rosti, a visit to the amazing bookstore, El Ateneo Grand Splendid, just beautiful and a wonderful way to finish up our Buenos Aires tours. We can’t say enough about Rosti, who led us on two tours on different days. He loves his city and his country, is astute about history and current day matters, is a university professor and a fabulous, knowledgeable guide.

Great Walking Tour - Romina was our tour guide, and she was fantastic. We started out at our hotel, jumped on the metro, and headed to Recoleta for a very extensive, interesting tour which ultimately spread way beyond Recoleta. We hit many of the major sites of the city, but the most interesting aspect of our tour was speaking with Romina to get insights about daily life in Argentina. We walked for over 4 hours without stopping, and loved every minute. I highly recommend booking a tour with her!
