Our guide was fab, English was excellent and full of information /knowledge. Took us to two synagogues and one had a concert in progress which we heard the end of. Had a tasty lunch at one of the kosher shops and took something back for later to eat.
Lived up to expectation and more … guide was Fernando.

Our guide was a brilliant young man who was so knowledgeable about the Jewish people in Argentina. The time flew by and the tour was worth every penny.

This was easily one of the best tours I've ever done. Fernando is so witty, knowledgable and helpful! It was really interesting reflecting on how the Argentine and American Jewish identities are so similar yet so different too.
I l can't wait to have this pandemic finish soon so I can go back to doing amazing cultural experiences like this! :')

The overall history of the Jewish people in Buenos Aires is fascinating. But the tour was enhanced by the knowledge and overall friendliness of Mariana. She was a fantastic guide who made the tour informative AND fun! One of the unexpected highlights was lunch at a local deli. Mariana ordered for us, and chose some great kosher standards. We would recommend this tour and Mariana as a guide to anyone traveling to Buenos Aires, Jewish or not!

Mariana in not only such a personable and sweet guide but her knowledge and insight of the City and specifically its Jewish history brought our tour to life. I had been to BA once before and had done a Jewish tour but that paled to what I learnt from Mariana. Her enthusiasm for the city of her heritage also greatly contributed to our wonderful experience with her.
