Esteban is a fabulous guide to everything Jewish in Argentina and we really enjoyed how he wove in the history of Argentina into his Jewish Buenos Aires tour. We learned about the importance and centrality of AMIA not just to Jewish Argentines but to all residents. He also took us to the YIVO building, which was fascinating. The Jewish Museum and adjacent synagogue are beautiful and we spent plenty of time there, too. Whether or not you’re Jewish, if you only have time for one tour in BA, you should take this one!

This tour exceeded my expectations! It was supposed to be a group tour, but because that day I was the only person who signed up, I got a private walking tour with the delightful, extremely knowledgeable Melanie Vindman. Buenos Aires born and raised, Melanie taught me so much I did not know about the Jewish history of Buenos Aires. She made the tour and the information very engaging, and I had a wonderful time with her! (Melanie also speaks impeccable English; she knows the language better than most native English speakers. Impressive!) Highly recommend!!!

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. We leaned so much about Jewish history in Argentina and the impressive response to antisemitism in Buenos Aires.
