Best 2 hours spent at Recoleta Cemetery - Victoria was knowledgable, her articulation was clear and the pacing of stories and number of places to see within the 2 hours tour was perfect. Despite the rainy weather, many turned up for the tour and I believed we all left learning so much more about this place compared to walking without a guide. I highly recommend this and for the price it is such a steal and a must do when you visit Bueno Aires for the first time.

Wow! Breath taking 👻 - I was amazed by the layout/architecture of the cemetery. They really do try to go above & beyond honoring the lives of those who have passed.

Recoleta Cemetery needs a guide - Our guide, Victoria, regaled us with fascinating stories of the graves as we walked through this amazing cemetery. I strongly recommend taking this tour rather than wandering through without hearing the history.

Good tour and great price - Very good tour. It was a big group but could hear the guide and she answered questions as well. Lots of good info on the cemetery and sites. Although the info on your said one hour we were there for two hours and had free time at the end to see more on our own.

Some good history but could get it from you tube or Wikipedia - The history of the public cemetery was interesting but alot of the mosoleums could be looked up. Went off on my own to view dozens more than the 8-10 the guide focused on....there are hundreds that appeared elaborate and interesting. I am aware of limits and time constraints of a tour but guide wasn't good at keeping us together. Felt like a sprint through the cemetary.
