What's included in the tour?

The tour includes 3 hours of guided exploration, private transportation between neighborhoods, and a professional English-speaking guide. The fee covers visits to key Jewish heritage sites and institutions across multiple Buenos Aires neighborhoods.

AMIA (Argentine Jewish Mutual Association) is part of the standard itinerary, but if you book within 72 hours of the tour start, this visit may not be available due to scheduling. Your guide will offer equally meaningful alternative sites in such cases.

Which neighborhoods are covered?

The tour typically includes Recoleta, Once, San Telmo, and Retiro—neighborhoods central to Buenos Aires' Jewish history. Your guide will provide context on why each location was significant to the community's settlement and cultural development.

How much walking is involved?

This is a mixed tour combining walking and driving. You'll walk through neighborhoods to visit key sites, but transportation connects different areas, so it's not an all-walking experience. Wear comfortable shoes.

Can I customize the tour focus?

Yes—this is a private tour, so you can discuss interests with your guide (e.g., emphasis on art, immigration history, or specific institutions) at the start.

Is this suitable for cruise passengers?

Yes, it's listed as a shore excursion. With 3 hours duration plus transportation, it works well for port visits, though confirm timing with your ship.
