“An invaluable Introduction to the history and culture of Buenos Aires and Argentina ”
Nico provided exactly what we required as first time visitors to Buenos Aires. He explained the history of Argentina by explaining the migration patterns over the past centuries, and the cultures that helped define Argentina as it is today. It is one thing to experience architecture and the cuisine, but with the detailed explanation of the rich cultural history of Argentina, we now have a more complete understanding of this beautiful city. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Buenos Aires, whether they are first time or repeat visitors.
