So great! I think our guide was Mariana? She was wonderful and gave just the right amount of context and info without being too chatty or going to fast. Note that when they say to be there 10 minutes early it’s because you have to buy your tickets at the door still. The activity you pay for on the app does not include the cost of admission, which was under 4,000ars per person if you are international non resident.

Excellent! Victoria was so passionate and knowledgeable, it seemed she has lived these stories that she told. I wanted to ask her if she had trained professionally as an actor, as her delivery was so engaging. Thank you for a brilliant history lesson and cultural experience that went far beyond mine or my husband's expectations. Bev - Canada

I would recommend visiting this cemetery with a guide. Mariana was incredibly knowledgeable and did an amazing job at explaining the history of the site. The structure of the tour is also a great balance of highlighting major figures and the less known families.
