RETIRO: Secrets of the Buenos Aires Aristocracy with a History Professor

A History Professor with over 30 years of experience guides you through secrets that no other tour reveals. You will walk among mansions fit for kings, Victorian iron stations, and balconies where Argentina's destiny was decided. This tour is not a sightseeing tour. It is an immersion in Retiro, the neighborhood where the Creole aristocracy fled from yellow fever in 1871.  I will reveal the untold stories hidden in the places you will visit. In this historical tour, you will not only see the Torre Monumental, the Retiro Station, and the Palacio Paz, but you will understand how these places shaped Argentine identity.
