San Miguel, Argentina

El guia tenía conocimientos históricos pero no nos deslumbró. Más allá de que somos argentinos y conocíamos el recorrido pensamos que con el tour ibamos a tener otra mirada, la tustistica. Fue interesante un comentario que hizo al pasar a otras dos personas del grupo y escuchamos de casualidad. (La de volver con el subte A y recorrer la estación Perú). Ese tipo de condimentos son los que faltaron en general.

The guide had historical knowledge, but he didn't dazzle us. Although we're Argentinian and familiar with the route, we thought the tour would give us a different perspective, a more touristy one. A comment he made in passing to two other people in the group, which we happened to overhear, was interesting. (The one about returning on the A subway and visiting the Perú station.) That kind of insight was generally lacking.

Buena. Sólo que no está bueno que la promocionen como gratuita cuando en el momento se "sugiere" un "pago voluntario" de $15.000 por persona. En ese caso no sería tan voluntario, no? Y no terminaría siendo una actividad gratuita, porque la "sugerencia" impone una especie de obligación.

Good. It's just not right that they're promoting it as free when at the time they're "suggesting" a "voluntary payment" of $15,000 per person. In that case, it wouldn't be so voluntary, right? And it wouldn't end up being a free activity, because the "suggestion" imposes a kind of obligation.

Los guías suelen hacer recomendaciones sobre las aportaciones a realizar, intentando que se alcance el mínimo esperable por persona. Aun así, no es obligatorio dar ningún importe en concreto. Sentimos si el guía se ha excedido en sus comentarios. Translate this opinion into English.

Guides usually make recommendations on contributions, aiming to reach the minimum per person. However, it's not mandatory to give a specific amount. We apologize if the guide has exceeded expectations in his or her comments. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una experiencia inolvidable en familia Tuvimos el placer de hacer el tour histórico por Buenos Aires guiado por Lucero y fue realmente una experiencia maravillosa. Somos una familia con dos niños pequeños y desde el primer momento Lucero logró captar nuestra atención con su forma de contar la historia: clara, amena y llena de detalles que nos hicieron viajar en el tiempo. Nos encantó cómo logró combinar información interesante para los adultos con momentos divertidos para los niños. Gracias Lu! Translate this opinion into English.

We loved how she managed to combine interesting information for adults with fun moments for the kids. Thank you, Lu! Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente passeio. Guia super pontual, com conhecimento amplo da história de Buenos Aires. Apesar do tour ter sido feito em espanhol, entendemos todas as explanações e a guia estava sempre questionando se o grupo estava compreendendo. Super recomendo

Muy buena pero me parece que tendría que ser más canchera y expresar más el espíritu del porteño que es tan conmico y con buena onda. Lo hice porque ya lo había visto un montón de veces y no sabían lo que significaba. Pero las explicaciones tienen que ser más cortas y con más chispa que a Uds le sobran hermanos argentinos Translate this opinion into English.

Very good, but I think it should be more upmarket and express more of the porteño spirit, which is so friendly and good-natured. I did it because I'd seen it so many times and didn't know what it meant. But the explanations need to be shorter and more lively, as you Argentine brothers and sisters have plenty of them.
