“We did not like this tour & wouldn't recommend”

We arrived 10 minutes early as stated in the email, but the guide to told us it started at 11:10am instead of 11am. But the biggest reason why we wouldn't recommend this tour is that there was too many people for one guide! There was at least 50 people in our group today and we were always pushed to the back so, even though she had microphone, we could hardly hear anything! And she spoke soooo fast, it was difficult to understand and English is my first language. I don't usually write negative reviews but it's important to be honest. The group was way too large to enjoy it.

“La Boca - so much more than just a tourist trap”

The tour is really worthwhile taking as you learn a lot about what La Boca was like through the centuries. There is a lot more to the ‚tourist trap‘ El Caminito than you think at first sight. I also got inspired to go to the two nearby museums/art galeries and enjoyed the view from the rooftop café. Without the information given by our excellent guide Victoria I would have missed at least two cultural gems. She also gave us some time to take photographs, organized the whole walk most effectively and last but not least guided the tour in immaculate English. Thank you! Next time in BA I‘ll join you for some other tours.

“excellent Tour”

The guide was excellent. the tour is well organized. My only concern is there were over 40 people for 1 guide on the day that we joined.

“Great guide. Poor directions. ”

Victoria was a great guide - local, knowledgeable, articulate. I took 2 tours with her. But the directions to the meeting place were poor. If you give an address, rather than an intersection one can copy and paste the address into Uber or another app. and ‘on the colorful corner???’ Everything was colorful! And confusing. Lucky for the orange umbrella

“Way too large group”

We were around 55 people, which was way too much. Luke was good, though the speaker was way too quiet, so I often did not understand anything. Moreover such a big group makes it impossible to stay in the shade. I could not see the music performance of a local musician, because we were too many people for that place. I do not recommend this tour.
