Amazing tour! - This tour exceeded all expectations. Jimena knew so much about the cemetery, and it was a great way to learn the history of the country through the cemetery. It lasted about two hours and was an excellent value. I was glad we did a separate tour of the cemetery because there is so much to learn. And again, our excellent guide really made the tour.

It isn't morbid, it is a MUST! - The Recoleta Cemetary tour exceeded our expectations! Jimena led us on a tour, and we learned a great deal related to the history of Argentina and the Buenos Aires. She was engaging, kept us moving and was receptive to any question we threw at her! Jimena pointed out various architecture and designs that carried over to many of the mausoleums. There were specific mausoleums that we stopped out and she wove known history as well as lore related to certain families. Cemetary tours in New Orleans pales in comparison to Recoleta.

Fascinating and Memorable Tour - We took the tour this morning and loved it. Jimena did a great job of telling memorable histories about the residents of the cemetery as well as explaining the history of Buenos Aires and Argentina as it related to the stories. She also pointed out the interesting architectural details of the mausoleums. She clearly enjoys her job and her passion for history was very engaging. Our 6 year old and 8 year old children paid attention the entire time. Highly recommend this tour, it has a maximum capacity of 15 (our group had 6) and some of the other tours we saw had 20-30 people.

Grand mausoleum - Great place to visit and take pictures. Very expensive and they don’t inform you about the guided tour. If I did not paid the private your guide, I would have not been able to appreciate it as much.

Part of Argentinian history - A great experience to discover in this cemetery a part of the history of Argentina with the graves of many presidents, but also of a myth, Eva Perón. Don't forget to take mosquito repellent!
