Hi! My name is Mercedes, and I am a professional tour guide. Born and raised in the city I'm in love with: Buenos Aires. Let's enjoy together! Since my childhood I've had a passion for travel, so I decided to study tourism; then, after visiting lots of cities and countries I concluded that my city was spectacular! We have an original mix of Tango, Pampas and Europe; with an architecture that's reminiscent of France, Spain and New York's skyscrapers. Art, museums, music, food, polo, fashion: my city has it all! Buenos Aires, the queen of Del Plata, has a lot to offer to you. I can show you the highlights of the city, the hidden corners, the tales and legends; we can have a coffee, like a real porteño does almost every day, or may be you can try a Mate! We can walk, we can ride a private car, or take a "Colectivo" (bus). Nothing is written, you can write your own story, here, with me. See you soon! - Professional Tour Guide ( Centro de Guías de Turismo de San Isidro, Buenos Aires) - Tourism & Travel Agent, By Universidad de Belgrano - Scholarship in Cultural Heritage of the City of Buenos Aires, By Konex

Overview of your Buenos Aires tour

Over 6, 400 statues, sarcophagi, coffins and crypts commemorate some of Argentina's most celebrated sons and daughters, not least Eva "Evita" Perón, in this labyrinthine city of the dead. The thrird most important cemetery in the world, because of it's architecture, scuptures, and the biggest collection of vitraux and stained glass in the open air in the world. Every cemetery has it's ghosts storys, and Recoleta is no exception. We are going to see Rufina Cambaceres's iconic tomb that was mistakenly buried alive; David Alleno worked for 30 years as a cemetery grave-digger, carefully saving his money for his own plot and a statue and then killed himself. Apparently you can still hear his keys jangling as his ghost walks the cemetery's narrow pathways at dawn. . . Lots of stories to be told, love and hate. . . . And after that a nice walk in the surroundings, share a coffee in one of our historical " Café" to comment our experience
