Loved the tour. I was skeptical initially given the duration but it was highly entertaining! We had Vito our guide and he was quite a story teller. Please note you can also get this tour directly by showing up at the cemetery for a cheaper price but not sure of the hours advertised. Definitely a must do tour while in Buenos Aires!

The guide (Victoria) was excellent. Well paced. I had no idea that the group was going to be 42 people! Victoria did a good job with handling the crowd but I would have never signed up for a mob scene. And it was not disclosed that we needed to buy the entrance ticket before. So the guides had to tell everyone to get in the long line for the tickets. We all could have arrived earlier and purchased tickets and started on time
