"We had an wonderful time with Ines! She is very friendly, and we also felt that she is a family member too. She is an expert in Argentina history, she knows a lot of about Buenos Aires too. She told us about the day by day of porteños, and it was amazing.
The highlight of our tour, was at Plaza the Mayo. She told us about the mothers of plaza the mayo, and we all felt very emotional at this moment.
We highly recommend!!!
Tivemos uma manhã maravilhosa com a Ines. Ela é muito querida e muito amigável, nós sentimos como se ela fosse da nossa família! Ela é especialista em história da Argentina e também na história de Buenos Aires. E ela nos contou sobre o dia a dia dos portenhos.
O ponto alto do nosso tour foi qundo estavamos sentados na Praça de Maio, e ela nos falou sobre as mães da Praça de Maio, todos nós ficamos realmente emocionados com seu relato.
Suuuper recomendamos o tour com a Ines!!!"

Rosana is excellent
"Rosana is an amazing guide. Her English is excellent. We enjoyed her explanations about the history of the area and the culture of Argentina and specifically of Buenos Aires. She was also generous with her ideas of places and restaurants to visit on our own. "

A fascinating tour which gives insights
"The first thing we really appreciated with our guide Rosana was that she picked us up at our hotel. The second that she was such a loveable person. The third that she agreed to extend the tour. She showed us four different parts of the town, so we really got a feeling of the city. The most beautiful part was the French quarter where our hotel was situated. Some buildings really made you feel to be in Paris, that I have visited so many times. A sharp contrast was the Italian district at the old harbour. Rosana really was able to give an insight in a short time both for the rich and the poor of the city. And in her stories in the old town, we were reminded of the very troubled history of the city and the country.
Rosana is really a perfect guide and such a nice person.
