“ An Authentic and Insightful Tour with Pedro”
I highly recommend La Boca tour with Pedro. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhood’s origins, culture, and history. Pedro is deeply integrated into the community and knows everyone—during the tour, he greeted workers and passersby, creating a warm, authentic experience. He explained everything in great detail and, in addition, provided several local recommendations. The tour was both fun and excellent, offering insights beyond the typical tourist paths. It’s perfect for anyone interested in learning about the true essence of La Boca, beyond the usual tourist streets.
