This ended up a private tour as just the two of us took it. We met at a cafe and the guide introduced himself and we were off at cracking pace. The tour included the historical area of BA with lots of. Information about the buildings we saw. The tour is about 2 1/2 hrs of solid walking. The final stop was Recolata but did not include the cemetery. My only complaint was that we were left there to find our way back to our hotel, anther hours walk.

A very knowledgeable guide walked us around the streets of Buenos Aires in two and a half hours. We stopped at various sights and had time to take in the history, etc. Certainly an excellent way to get to know a small area of the city.
