We went with friends and loved how Liza told us the stories behind every vault in that camp. A super interesting experience. Without a doubt, an excellent level of knowledge that made us know historical data that we had no idea, and we had a great afternoon.

I went last year for a visit to the Recoleta Cemetery with the Liza guide. Madness, stories that bristle at your skin... Probably because of how it leads you to recreate each story. You can tell the love for his work and history. A genius!! Super recommended!!

Liza is a passionate guide, you can really tell she loves what she does. Everything tells like a story and the story ends up catching you, you never get bored! I really liked the tour it does because it includes not so well known sectors and gives to learn many things of Argentine history that no one tells you. The super recommend!!!
