Overview

Hi, I'm Agustín, a geographer who graduated from the University of Buenos Aires, loves his city, and wants to share it with the world. I'm passionate about travel and firmly believe that the best way to immerse yourself in a new destination is by walking alongside the locals.

Known primarily for its French architecture and famous cemetery, Recoleta has much more to offer. From its aristocratic palaces to Brutalist buildings and even contemporary art on the streets. On this tour, you’ll explore the past and present of this iconic neighborhood and the stories behind its history.

Some highlights include:
National Library
Law School (University of Buenos Aires)
Floralis Genérica
National Museum of Fine Arts
Plaza Francia
Iglesia del Pilar and Recoleta Cemetery*.
Mansions on Alvear Street
Plazoleta Carlos Pellegrini (end point).

*Does not include a tour inside the cemetery.

Please book only if you are certain you will attend; last-minute cancellations or no-shows prevent other visitors from taking the spots you leave vacant and cause scheduling difficulties for us.
Thank you very much.
