our favorite so far in BA

5.00This was a wonderful tour, perhaps our favorite so far in Buenos Aires. (It was the Jewish Heritage Walking tour.) Our guide, Candela, was warm & friendly, and full of interesting stories & facts. Each stop of the tour covered a different aspect of Jewish life & history in Argentina. But Candela also provided us with insight into Argentinian culture, as well as recommendations on other places to go & things to do during our stay in the city. This tour is well worth the time & money, and most importantly, it was fun & interesting.
A good tour to some lesser known sites

5.00It was an amazing experience. As travelers one always visits churches and cathedrals. This tour focussed on the Jewish experience in Argentina, and included a visit to the Jewish Museum, the large centrally located synagogue, and two sites where Jews were targeted by bombers. Argentina has the fifth largest Jewish population in the world and a storied history of immigration, and it was a pleasure to spend some time learning about it. We ended the day at Recoleta Cemetery, in the late afternoon when it was a tad cooler on a broiling day. (Only one Jewish person is buried there. ) The cemetery is another tourist attraction, but it was large enough to absorb the visitors so that there were moments of solitude. All in all, a good tour, and our guide Fernando was easy to work with and very knowledgeable.
