Many learnings from high value walking tours! - Our first visit to Buenos Aires’s we had the good fortune of selecting two tours offered by Free Walking Tours BA. In each case, Mariana lead the group on a comprehensive discussion of La Boca and Recoleto cemetery. In each case she provided many insights regarding both history and culture resulting in outstanding value. If in BA I would strongly recommend this your company and we are grateful to have had Mariana lead both discussions!

Great walking tour of Boca, with splendid guide Nahuel! - Great Walking Tour round Boca - The splendid guide Nahuel gave a great insight into Buenos Aries, and in particular Boca - and pitched it just right i.e. enough info, but did not drown the audience in too much detail! His English was very clear and easy to understand, and some nice humour going on too. The Boca area, so colourful and vibrant , and felt very different to other parts of BA- Would definitely recommend !

She made the history of Buenos Aires come alive with her stories and insights. Her English is excellent, and she explained in a way that was easy to understand and really engaging. I especially loved how she connected historical events with the culture and daily life of the city. I highly recommend taking a tour with Maru, you won t regret it.

Brilliant La Boca tour with Victoria - A must-do while in Buenos Aires, the area is vibrant and full of colourful history - all of which was brilliantly brought to life by Victoria on our tour. Her knowledge was first class and her English on another level.
