Fascinating and Memorable Tour - We took the tour this morning and loved it. Jimena did a great job of telling memorable histories about the residents of the cemetery as well as explaining the history of Buenos Aires and Argentina as it related to the stories. She also pointed out the interesting architectural details of the mausoleums. She clearly enjoys her job and her passion for history was very engaging. Our 6 year old and 8 year old children paid attention the entire time. Highly recommend this tour, it has a maximum capacity of 15 (our group had 6) and some of the other tours we saw had 20-30 people.

Don't pass on this tour! - Jimena was a very knowledgeable and experienced tour guide. She answered all of our questions and had a great route through the Cemetery. You'd really miss out on so much of the Cemetery without her as a guide! We would recommend this tour to anyone thinking of visiting.

Interesting experience! - This was a great tour. Victoria was very informative and a very good tour guide. The cemetary is very interesting both in the people buried there but also seeing the crypts an learning about burial practices. Easy to get around. Highly recommend!

Not to be missed on a visit to Buenos Aires - Jimena was our guide for this tour. We were captivated by her stories of some of those laid to rest here. She clearly loves her job and this comes through with the information she relayed to us. Sadly our tour was on a cold rainy afternoon but this didn't stop our enjoyment. A must for any visitors to Buenos Aires. So pleased we did it. Superb

Jimena is the perfect guide for Recoleta Cemetry - I am so glad I booked this tour! Jimena possesses thorough knowledge of her subject and is genuinely a wonderful person. It is a shame she doesn’t do any other excursions, I could listen to her for hours! I couldn’t recommend her enough! The best tour to do while in BA, you won’t regret!
