“Excellent way to see Buenos Aires. Jessica from BuenosTours took me on a three-hour walking tour that covered the founding of the city to the present day.
 
This was a great way to become acquainted with the history and architecture of the city. Jessica was a charming and knowledgeable guide. She knew the history of the city, pointed out architectural highlights and talked about the politics both past and present.”
