Eva Peron tour. - We got off our plane from LA, via Houston mid morning and knew that if we were able to get in our rooms, we'd crash, so we book an afternoon tour to help deal with the time change. If you are an Eva Peron fan and want to learn more about her life, this is a great introduction tour. Where it was just my family traveling with the guide and driver we could go at our own pace. The guide was very good, even got us to the church near the Casa Rosada, the president's work house, in time to see the changing of the guard. The Recoleta Cemetery was quite interesting. Other stops and sights to see where very charming. We saw quite a few tourist musts and had time for shopping. In La Boca we were able to see the colorful houses and found original artwork to purchase. We had a great time on this afternoon tour.
