Highly informed guide - the only way to visit the Cemetery - Great way to visit the cemetery. I highly recommend. You wouldn’t get as much from just strolling around alone. Our guide (Marianna) was wonderful - she answered all questions and was very informed about the different elements of the cemetery. It’s a great way to visit such an historic place.

Facts and urban legends aplenty! - We explored Recoleta cemetery with our wonderful host Victoria, who led the event with great enthusiasm and knowledge. We discovered many interesting facts and learned about many historical figures, many of whom we knew nothing about. We found out a lot more about Eva Peron, much of which was not explored at the Eva Peron museum. Overall it was a fabulous experience and would highly recommend. Victoria is a credit to the service!

Fascinating Tour! - We enjoyed a very informative and, strangely, entertaining tour of the cemetery. Victoria’s style was interesting and intelligent whilst adding some humorous anecdotes to the trip. We would heartily recommend this tour if you are visiting Buenos Aires.

Bad experience - The experience was very bad. EN first, DE should clearly inform that tourists can NO longer pay in cash. This ES NO small matter. Secondly, if there is only one tourist waiting, the guides should DE any case make the guide: ES their job. POR I'll go tomorrow, I need NO guidance.
