If There Is One Thing You Must Do in BA, It's This... - Victoria led our tour of Recoleta Cemetery, and without exaggeration, she is one of the best guides we’ve ever had—anywhere in the world. In clear, engaging English, she masterfully blended rich historical context with vivid storytelling, bringing both the facts and the fascinating urban legends to life. Recoleta itself is a remarkable place—stunning architecture, layered history, and more than a few intriguing stories—and Victoria elevated the entire experience. Her ability to connect it all into a compelling narrative made the tour both informative and genuinely memorable. If you’re visiting Buenos Aires, this is an absolute must-do. For us, it was one of the highlights of our trip—an unforgettable experience.

Excellent English tour. Guide exception well worth money. - Well worth taking tour to find out history. Guide very engaging and tour at good pace. The cemetery is amazing and after the tour you also had enough time to wonder solo to see other graves. We stopped at thirteen graves that had points of interest you wouldn’t know if not on a tour. Guide had excellent English.

Worthwhile tour - I learned a lot from our tour guide Mariana. She was very knowledgeable and told us great stories about the people buried at Recoleta we would not have known about.
