“It was an amazing place to see and very unique to see the city up top inside the light turret. The guide was very informative and was excellent at explaining in both Spanish and English for the group. I would recommend an evening tour as you get excellent reviews. But be prepared to walk up 8 narrow flights of stairs to reach the top. It's worth it, but the stairs only wind round and it's not too strenuous. However, keep your head down if tall until you reach the top. It's a good example of art deco style.”

“El sábado por la mañana, hice un recorrido de lo más simpático y enriquecedor. Juan y Loli compartieron con mucha generosidad información, conocimientos y experiencias tanto pertinentes como interesantes. No sólo aprendí acerca de la arquitectura tan fascinante aquí en Buenos Aires, pero también sobre la cultura argentina. Compartieron conmigo unas galletas típicas que no había probado, así como un sabroso maté. Desde mi encuentro con ellos, no miro a los edificios de la misma manera. Me demoro en los detalles discutidos y ¡tengo la impresión de apreciar mucho más lo que veo! Recomiendo mucho ese tour. ¡Es excelente!Read more”
