Amazing tour guide to the cemerery - Jimena was our tour guide and she was very informative and passionate about the history of Recoleta Cemetery. She threw in a bit of humour where she could and shared a lot of interesting stories about certain tombs/graves that we walked past. I would definitely recommend Jimena as a tour guide for anyone wanting to visit. Without her we would not understand what we were looking at or seeing and it makes the experience so much better.

Would reccomend - Good tour. The lady was very well spoken and made everything really memorable. We are from San Diego and this was on the last day of our trip. It was a nice way to get more history about the city and the unique people who, well… died there.

Unique experience improved by a great tour guide - What a brilliant experience - a must if you plan to go to the cemetery. Our guide Jime was excellent, explained everything about the graves and took us to the important ones and answered lots of questions. Unique experience and well worth it.

Amazing experience, interesting stories! - We had such a fun experience touring the cemetery with Jimena! She was very knowledgeable about the cemetery and the city and she was able to answer all of our questions. She also shared such interesting and intriguing stories about those who are buried in the cemetery and how they relate to Argentinian history. I would recommend this tour to everyone!
