A must-do Buenos Aires experience - Jimena was an amazing guide!! My friend and I had an incredible time learning about the cemetery’s lore and Argentina's history. Jimena was so open to answering all of our questions and giving us the best experience even through the cold and windy conditions. Next to exploring all of Buenos Aires’s urban green spaces, it was the highlight of our trip :)

Learned lots at the great cemetery tour - Our tour guide was friendly and really brought to life the stories and history! It provided much insight into the richer class that first invested in this cemetary. Really enjoyed some of the family stories too!

Ghost Stories - This was an excellent tour of the Recoleta Cemetery. Our guide Jimena was very engaging and the various stories she told about the different crypts were truly fun and fascinating. Of course the highlight was Eva Peron's family crypt but what really made it worthwhile was the intriguing story that eventually led to her final resting place. You can visit the cemetery on your own, but what really makes a visit worth it is the extra stories and history that comes with the guided tour.

Lovely, Enthusiastic, and Well-versed Tourguide! - Jimena was an amazing tour guide! She told many anecdotes as well as added for her personal experiences. She clearly had a great deal of expertise and made sure to answer all questions. Recoleta Cemetery itself is beautiful, but without a tour and learning about the history, the impact would have been minimized. Highly recommend Jimena!
