“Our guide was clearly knowledgeable and had certainly researched the subject extensively. His manner was friendly while authoritative, and he presented his material in an engaging manner. The walk was long enough to satisfactorily explore the subject, with key sites acting as suitable backdrops. The tour did not drag at all. It was a very enjoyable and informative experience, providing a clear historical context to the Nazi presence in Buenos Aires. I would highly recommend it.”
