“Tour with Flor was excellent! She provided useful background information about BA and Argentina, giving us insight and context for our tour. Areas and sites--and the orientation to them--was well done and we got to see a lot in a very short time. Flor did a great job of letting us know how much time we had and where to meet to continue our visit. Honestly, the only criticism is we wish we'd had more time (like 4 hours) so that we could have spent more time in Boca and elsewhere. Would recommend!”
