This was a memorable tour. The building is fascinating and the guide brings it alive. He is very friendly and entertaining and explained everything in both English and Spanish. The views of the city are amazing and the overall it's a great trip.

We did the evening tour at 8 PM on Wednesday. There were just 7 of us, which included our group of 4.

The Palazzo is located in the heart of the city in one of the most famous avenues. Visiting the Palazzo is an amazing experience that should not be missed. Revise your copy of Dante's Divine comedy before you go.

I always wanted to visit Palacio Barolo, and did it after all. The tour is conducted both in english and spanish, and tells a little about the history and creator of the building, and also its link to Dante's La Divina Comedia. You get to see Buenos Aires from the lighthouse they have on top of the building, which was...
