City tour with Marita - We took a private tour of Buenos Aires and Marita was our guide. She was excellent at explaining both the historical and current significance of the buildings, sections of the city and the social/political situations. Having a private tour, she offered us flexibility to emphasize different places to visit, eg San Telmo Market. This was much appreciated. We enjoyed our day and would recommend Marita as tour guide.

Andres: your guide to Buenos Aires - We spent a day and a half with Andres, on the Tigre Delta and in BA. He was a wonderful guide, almost like an old friend. He shared his own experience of growing up and living here as well as his knowledge of the history. For our short stay in BA, we enjoyed spending it with him.
