Elisa is very knowledgeable in the history of some of the clandestine detention centers within the local neighborhood in Buenos Aires. The dehumanizing atrocities can be a heavy weight to think on, but necessary if we are to avoid this history repeating itself. She is very enjoyable to spend time with and you will come away with a better understanding of their tragic story and how they move forward from it.

We did the In the Footsteps of the Dictators tour and found it incredibly informative! Elisa is very knowledgeable on Argentina’s history and gave us a strong overview of the different governments in Argentina, sprinkled with her own experience as a citizen. Really really wonderful experience - couldn’t recommend her enough! She caters the tours to your interests, and our three hours really felt like a Q&A!

I am very glad to have booked this tour which provided me with an insight into the more recent history of Buenos Aires, of Argentina, and of its people. Elisa opened that door for me, and I will be forever grateful for her to share her deep knowledge, personal experience, and assessments regarding one of the darkest periods of the country’s history, and for sharing her thoughts on how it still impact Argentinian society today. I was the only participant on that day, which made this tour very personal and allowed me to ask a lot of question; I was extremely happy to talk with someone who actually knows the city so well, and has a deep interest in history and societal issues, and to exchange thoughts about politics and society in both Latin America and Europe (where I am from). This tour is an absolute MUST for everyone interested in the deeper layers of Argentinian society, and the trauma that is, by the way, also highly visible in Argentinian art–many of the sculptures, paintings, and photographs that are displayed in the art museums of Buenos Aires tell about the violence, the pain, the grief of an era that this tour brings back to live–fortunately only through words. If you come to Buenos Aires, book this tour. It is outstanding.
