Best guide in Buenos Aires - Martin, our guide, was incredible. He had a great sense of humor and managed to keep us engaged and interested during the two-hour hike, which was no small feat considering the size of our group. We are planning to join his next tour as well.

Fun, suitable for all audiences - Excellent tour with Santiago Negri. The tour is super friendly, suitable for all kinds of audiences, and Santi was always attentive that we were comfortable, in the shade, and that everyone heard the history of the neighborhood. You can tell that he loves what he does and transmits with a lot of enthusiasm, he became super bearable and fun. More than recommended!
