Mara was a great guide, very helpful and translating to English for me, the only English-speaking person on the trip, and making sure I got to see the part of Campanopolis that is only accessible with an on-site guide. One thing to be wary of is you may leave earlier than planned if the rest of the tour group are ready to leave, but that was only 5 minutes for me. I imagine there is some compromise, like if everyone else wants to leave very early, the tour guide will probably give you more time. Highly recommended based on my experience. Campanopolis was the main day trip I wanted to do from Buenos Aires, and it would have been difficult and slow using public transport.

I really enjoyed the tour. I found the history of Campanópolis very interesting. It's great that there is a guide in Portuguese, because my mother doesn't speak any other language. In my opinion, it's worth visiting the place. Those who criticize it don't understand the true wealth of what is there. A great work of art in the open air, incredible and impressive.

It's worth it. It transports you back to medieval times. One of the best excursions I've seen and enjoyed in my travels.
