The visit was very informative, both because of the history it represents and the emotions you experience there. Riding the elevator gives you a very special feeling because of what you’ll find at the top: Buenos Aires in all its splendor.

Unfortunately, it was drizzling and cold, but the staff let us in so we wouldn't have to endure the inclement weather. The service was excellent, they were very knowledgeable, and they created an atmosphere of excitement to go up and see everything from above. The view wasn’t crystal clear because of the rain, but it was still very beautiful. Thank you—we came back very happy that we’d done it and promised to do the same thing again, but during the day.

A truly unique experience that few Argentines have had! Everything was perfect: the guides were attentive, the tour was very well organized, the information was precise and detailed—a real treat! Don’t miss it! Tip: be sure to check out the photos they show you at the beginning; they’ll later give them to you in a folder with inserts containing information about the tour—a 10 out of 10!
