Overview
The tour runs through the neighborhoods of Retiro and Recoleta, two unmissable areas of the city of Buenos Aires, walking through the wide streets full of trees, quiet and safe. In this tour we take a trip back in time to the beginning of the 20th century trying to imagine how wealthy families lived between their palaces in the city and their trips to Europe.
The tour is fun and agile, in a light walk of a little more than 1 km. We try to have fun and a good time, we not only tell part of the history of our country but we also tell funny and not so well-known stories of the royal families of that time.
As a guide friend I like to share everything I know about the city where I live, recommendations on where to eat, what to do, what to visit, from the perspective and knowledge of a local. I like to share my life with the people who visit us and why not establish a friendship. I am accompanied by an experience of almost 10 years doing what I love.

You must visit the Recoleta Cemetery if you're in Buenos Aires! It truly changed things. Because to Jimena's enthusiasm for the region's mysteries and history, the trip was really interesting.
Brilliant
