City Tour - Buenos Aires : Excellent!!!!!
This Buenos Aires city tour and our guide was excellent. We walked, used the Metro and the buses to get to various parts of the city. The guide was knowledgeable and a great communicator. We learnt about the culture, politics, history, traditions, and much more. It was enjoyable and a great education about the city and about Argentina.

Great Place To Plan Your Week!
We walked into Tangol the day of the Sunday market in San Telmo. Tanya (from Tangol) was very helpful given the fact that we had no idea what we wanted to see or do, I recommend the bike tour and going for a tango show with dinner. You will be wined and dined in excess.

FAQs about Recoleta Cemetery Tours
Which entrance to Recoleta Cemetery is best for first-time visitors?
Enter via the main gate at Junín 1760, directly opposite the Cultural Center. This entrance provides immediate access to the visitor center, free maps highlighting notable graves like Eva Perón's, and guided tour schedules. Avoid side gates on weekends as they often close early or lack informational staff, ensuring you start your visit efficiently.
Do I need to pay an entry fee to enter Recoleta Cemetery?
Entry to Recoleta Cemetery is completely free for all visitors year-round. Unlike many historic sites in Europe or North America, there are no tickets, reservation requirements, or suggested donations. You can simply walk in during opening hours. However, if you prefer a structured experience, licensed private guides operate outside the gates for a negotiable fee.
What is the best time of year to visit Recoleta Cemetery to avoid rain?
Plan your visit between May and August during the dry winter season to minimize rain disruption. Buenos Aires experiences its highest rainfall from October to March, often resulting in sudden, heavy afternoon storms that can make the marble paths slippery. Mornings in winter offer clear skies and softer light, ideal for photography without the crowds found in summer.
