Recoleta Cemetery English - A Must-Do Tour with an Amazing Guide! - The Recoleta Cemetery tour was an incredible experience! Jimena was engaging, funny, and full of fascinating stories about the historical figures buried there. She had a great way of bringing history to life, making the tour both educational and entertaining. I also had an issue with my email and had to reach out to her directly. She responded quickly and resolved my problem right away, which I really appreciated. Her professionalism and enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. If you're visiting Buenos Aires, I highly recommend taking this tour with her. It’s a great way to learn about the city’s history while exploring one of its most famous landmarks!

A run around Recoleta Cemetery - Jimema was awesome. The stories were well told and she made the tour come alive for us (for what would otherwise be just a look around at a graveyard)

Cemetery is Boring Without A GREAT Guide Like Jimena - The cemetery can be boring. It's just a bunch of dead people, coffins and marble. BUT, when you have a great tour guide who tells the history of the monuments, has great stories behind the people, is obviously passionate about giving tours, and has a great sense of humor, the cemetery COMES ALIVE! Our tour guide, Jimena was THE reason that the tour was NOT boring. She's a petite person with a BIG personality, outstanding command of english, a real passion for the history found in Recoleta Cemetery, and a fantastic sense of humor about a dark topic. Without her, this would have a much different day.

We laughed, we gasped, we found the best shade - a time was had :) This is a must do while in the area. The tour is less than two hours or so, but is packed with stories and history and a great time!!!!
