Simon was awesome! First of all, I arrived 15mins late but he and the group very kindly waited for me. He gave a great mix of historical anecdotes that you'd otherwise miss if you were going solo. He then recommended somewhere local to eat after, but alas(!) I had other plans. Highly recommend his tour if you get a chance 🤩

Great walking tour and introduction to Buenos Aires. Simon was an incredible guide who showed us the sights but also gave us personalised recommendations for our stay, helped me get my metro card and dropped me at a fabulous lunch spot at the end of the tour. The tour itself gave us a background to the evolution of Buenos Aires and its architecture and history!

It was a pleasure to meet Simon. It was a very educational experience with several interesting facts about the city and current life of people living in Buenos Aires. He's a friendly and funny guy. I recommend this tour with him.

Simon took us on a nice tour in a small group through Retiro and Recoleta. We learned a lot, and Simon was very approachable. He was really 'one of us', we could ask him anything - and he even helped us with non-tour related questions. Definitely would recommend giving Simon a call!

This was a wonderful introduction to the Buenos Aires neighborhoods of Retiro and Recoleta. We also got a chance to ride BA's metro system. The tour ended at the old cemetery in Recoleta, which gave me a chance to explore it at my leisure. Simon is a great guide: personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. A very pleasant day out and about BA. Thank you, Simon!
