| A most enjoyable tour of Buenos Aires by Luciano's colleague Fabian. A beautiful city and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. We would certainly recommend Tours by Locals and use them again on our next travels and also their guides. Thank you for your organisation under difficult circumstances. Kind regards, Victoria Wilson |
| TOURSBYLOCALS RESPONSE: We are pleased that you enjoyed your tour with Fabian. Luciano had injured his leg the day previously and was not able to drive and walk comfortably. |

| Luciano was a fabulous guide who was able to adapt the tour to our needs and expectations and even anticipate what would best work for us. He was informative, professional and very engaging. The day was full and yet we never felt rushed or pressured for time. It was exactly the tour we wanted. |

| We enjoyed our tour with Luciano. We had already seen most of the highlights of Buenos Aires with the ship tour but his knowledge of the history of the area was very impressive and we saw a lot of different things and/or in more depth than we did with the ship's tour. We would definitely recommend to our friends using Tour by Locals to our friends. Thanks. Sam and Peter |

| Luciano was the very best guide, knowledgeable and thorough. He took us to a 104 year old micro brewery where we had a great lunch and great beer too. The highlight for me was the interior of the pink palace and Luciano's history of Argentina. We learned so much in a delightful way. He surprised us with a visit to a bookstore inside an old opera house, very memorable. We visited the highlights and enjoyed our visit. |

| We found Luciano to be an ideal guide for Buenos Aires. He is charming and enthusiastic, eager to pass on his extensive knowledge of the city and its history. He is an excellent driver, adept at negotiating the difficult traffic of BA. Highly recommended. |

| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: HI Marc thanks for your comments and I will show them to my guide! |
| TOURSBYLOCALS RESPONSE: We're pleased you enjoyed your tour with Luciano's colleague Francisco. He substituted for Luciano with the agreement of Mr. Winter. |

| Luciano was very accomodating and knowlegable on the history and politics of Argentina. He made a special effort to take us off the tourist "beaten path" so that we could experience the real Buenos Aires. His vehicle was very comfortable and well maintained. |

| With only one day's notice (due to a change in our ship's itinerary) Luciano graciously altered his schedule and flawlessly accommodated our changed circumstances. Though, of necessity, slightly shorter in length, the tour he provided was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome. He was punctual, knowledgeable, helpful, and likable, and gave us an insight into BA that I'm sure was far superior to anything offered off the ship. THANK YOU, Luciano! |

| I had one day to see Buenos Aires at the end of a business trip. I was looking for a tour that I could see the highlights of the city with some depth but in a short amount of time. Luciano gave a fantastic tour. I got a great appreciation for the city's rich cultural heritage, it's beautiful architecture and it's proud people. Thank you for a wonderful day...and for dropping me off at the airport at the end! |

| Outstanding experience. He was on time, personable, knowledgeable, and made our all day tour a memorable experience. He showed us the places we had read about plus several that he knew and which we enjoyed immensely. He was fluent in English which made our tour all the more enjoyable. I would recommend him and your system to anyone.

| Luciano made us feel like members of his family! We ate at his parents' favorite restaurant-no tourists. He was adept at modifying a city tour to accommodate my walking issues-we 'saw it all' with great narration, while driving instead of walking, but we did get to wander about on foot where possible. The highlight was our visit to a milonga (real tango venue, not a dinner show) & Luciano's explanation of the codes & rituals we would have otherwise missed. Everyone should have this experience! |

| Luciano our tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. After changing our plans at the last minute adding 4 additional persons he was able to secure an air conditioned van that was very roomy and select sites to visit that were pleasing to all of us. We went to a local restaurant that treated us very well and the food was excellent and reasonable. We went to a library that was very unique. I won't let the secret out in case Luciano takes you there. He is well versed on the culture and history. |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: It was a real pleasure for me to be with you a whole day. Thank you for giving me the opportunity of showing you my city and it´s "bife de lomos", and for all the things I´ve learned from you too. I think that from now onwards I´m able to recognize any person from Minnesota or Hawaii :-) |
