Laura is amazing! - We did this tour with Laura and it was amazing! She was attentive, extremely well informed, and has an obvious love for her city. San Telmo is such a fun area and gives an amazing taste of local life. We highly recommend booking this tour on a Sunday so you can see San Telmo at its finest (there is a massive street market every Sunday)!

Beautiful park, fascinating market & the best empanadas! - We enjoyed a friendly and easy paced walk through the park and then to the street markets of San Telmo. Our guide, Ludmillia, was enthusiastic and answered all our questions. We very much enjoyed the light lunch of fabulous empanadas in a small storefront. We exchanged friendly conversation with her. It was a great time!

Great tour with Laura - Laura was a great and very knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed walking with her for 2 hours and learning lots about the San Telmo area. I would recommend that anyone take the tour and ask Laura about Argentine history. She really knows her stuff.

A great stroll through time in San Telmo. - We spent a great time with Laura! She showed us the ways history left it's mark in San Telmo, she's a really knowledgeable guide. All in all we got to see one of the most charming restaurants we've ever gone to, managed to walk in an antique "conventillo" , enjoyed the San Telmo marketplace and had some of the best empanadas in our trip. We've already booked a few other tours with the host and hope to have experiences as good as this one.
