Patri gave us the historical background at Plaza de Mayo, then made the Casa Rosada, cathedral and Mothers of Plaza de Mayo feel like part of one story.

La Boca was the highlight. Caminito was colorful and lively, and Patri explained the neighborhood's immigrant history without reducing it to a photo stop.

We liked that the itinerary included both the famous sights and the less obvious details. San Telmo's cobblestones, La Boca's colorful houses and the riverfront all felt distinct but connected.

Patri was engaging, patient and full of useful context. By the end we had a much clearer idea of the city and several places we wanted to return to on our own.
