Bustling Sunday San Telmo market - Terrific tour - funny and so informative. Both tours we did with Walking tours (we also did La Boca) were most enjoyable. The guides included their personal stories with the history and culture of the area. Highly recommend them!

A great tour of San Telmo -- go on a Sunday if you can! - This was such a great tour, especially since we did it on a Sunday when the San Telmo street market was in full swing. Our guide was knowledgeable and happy addressed any questions from the group.

3 walking tours with Juan, in a million - We participated in 3 of the guided walks available, the San Telmo being the third. We'd enjoyed the first tour so much that we decided to do the other two. All in 3 consecutive days and with the very best tour guide ever. Jaun, whose knowledge, communicating skills, passion for history and all accompanied by a brilliant sense of humour made the time spent with him all the more memorable. We can honestly and thoroughly recommend these tours to anyone who's seeking the relevance of what they're visiting in Buenos Aires. Again, with Juan as your guide, you are in for an awesome and amazing time and experience. Kudos to the tour group for having Juan with them. Dr and Mrs Phillip Zoldan, Tasmania, Australia.

Juan was amazing - Juan was amazing! So knowledgeable and did a great job keeping the group entertained and engaged! We really enjoyed the tour. We were a little disappointed that we did not get to go into the market during the tour, but he pointed us in the right direction and we went shortly after

Exceptional and highly recommend - We have so enjoyed the walking tours with this company. We were fortunate to have a few days in beautiful Buenos Aires and managed to do four different tours. All were exceptional and first class! It was very hot and the guides took extra care to find as much shade for us which was appreciated. All four guides were also fabulous - enthusiastic, entertaining and genuinely caring. Such a great way to learn about the city and get some excellent tips and hints. Thank you!
