This was the perfect way to begin our trip to Argentina with a lovely walk through the city center learning about the fascinating history of Buenos Aires. Our guide was personable and intelligent to a fault, commenting on the role of certain places in the national history while pointing out details of architecture and design and offering a running commentary on Argentina today compared to yesteryear. We visited noteworthy churches, plazas, public buildings, as well as hidden spots, and had a cortado break in one of the older, time-honored cafes. The group was small, allowing us to bond with each other. The time spent was memorable, indeed it went by too quickly, and we went away with our heads filled with ideas for the rest of our time in Buenos Aires.
