Victoria gave the most wonderful tour. She had a great way of telling the stories behind everything and kept us enthralled the whole 2 hours So many interesting stories and some beautiful Graves- quite the most beautiful architecture I have seen in a Cemetery. Amazing value for money. Not to be missed. Oh - and there was Evita's grave too!!

The Recoleta cemetery is really fascinating and it is well worth a visit. Having Matias B as a guide was great. He is very knowledgeable, entertaining, funny, a good storyteller. He added value to the visit and the whole experience really exceeded my expectations.

Victoria, was excellent. She knew where to take us, what the stories behind the dead were, and what "urban myths" we're still being told. It made the experience of visiting a graveyard very interesting. She spoke English very well and had an excellent command of the topics - so she could answer all questions posed. All in all - interesting and informative, with some history, gossip and humor mixed in. Go - you will enjoy yourself.
