Ekene was a delightful guide across the history of Afro-Argentine influence on Argentina. She was so clear in her storytelling, detailing what elements of African heritage permeate through this nation and its capital of Buenos Aires. It was the highlight of my trip, leaving me with so much pride and great stories to share. Highly recommend this experience, especially in the hands of Ekene.

We loved our 3.5 hour walking tour with Melanie! She was informative, friendly, and insightful. We visited the Jewish Museum/Synagogue as well as the site of the 1990's terror attack and other Jewish sites in Buenos Aires, including a former theater and newspaper. My only constructive criticism is the tour ran a bit over time-wise, and 4 hours and 20 minutes was a bit much for my 11 year old daughter, especially since only the Jewish Museum had restrooms. I think it'd be nice to break up the walking by visiting a Jewish-owned cafe to discuss some of the things Melanie told us about, which would give our feet a rest and allow for an additional bathroom break. But overall the tour was excellent and we highly recommend Melanie!

If you want to learn about Afro Argentine Heritage this is the tour to take! I only wish I had more time to explore and understand it better, although my guide was awesome! You can’t cover everything on a tour but this was one of the best overviews of the Afro Argentine Heritage that I have experienced, and I highly recommend this company!

Melanie provided us with an extremely engaging and informative tour of the Jewish area , museum and synagogue. Her knowledge and grasp of the history and events were presented in an easy to understand manner. She was able to provide excellent historical context and made the 4 hour tour fly by. Far and away one of the best tours we have enjoyed! Thank you Melanie!!

We had the pleasure of doing the Buenos Aires Jewish walking tour 12/30/2024 with Melanie of Lunfarda. This was an excellent choice as we considered going to the Jewish Museum only, that would have been a mistake as the information we learned on the tour was far in excess of the museum, more detailed and interesting. Melanie has an excellent perspective and wealth of knowledge as she grew up in BA and attended both public and private schools as well as university. She put into perspective the remote Jewish and general Argentinian past and more recent history up to present day including the complicated political narrative and what it is like being a young Jewish person in this community. We did walk through more heavily Jewish neighborhoods and stopped at the AMIA building and Israeli Embassy bombing memorial with discussion about delayed- and non-prosecution of suspects and their Middle Eastern and Argentinian origins. Very well worth the time and cost, would recommend Melanie as a tour guide without hesitation, she was very nice and extremely informative.

WOW! Mariana planned a 10 day Argentinian vacation for my family of 4 including 2 well traveled and opinionated teens. We can't say enough good things about her, Lunfarda and the whole experience. We started in BA, went to Ushuaia, El Calafete and then back to BA before heading home. During the planning process, Mariana was patient, helpful and incredibly organized. Once we got to Argentina, her communication with us was the best I've had with an agency (daily messages about pickups, experiences, etc). We had a small issue with our hotel shower, and she had arranged for us to change rooms that same day. When we wanted to pivot from a previously planned tour in BA, she was able to organize a private day trip to Tigre that was a great highlight for the family. Were there some challenges along the way? Of course, as there always are- but she and her team were always available, responsive and great problem solvers. If you are looking to book a single tour, or a full Argentinian vacation - reach out to Lunfarda - and hopefully, you will have as wonderful of an experience as we did!

We took Lunfarda 2 day trip to Iguazu Falls and it was excellent. Sylvia, our tour guide/mother hen was with us step by step. The local guides were also excellent and very attentive. This tour was well worth the money.

Silvia and Moria led a two day trip to Iguaza Falls as a pre-Antartica cruise by Vacaya. There were 23 of us that took the trip, what a wonderful trip it was. Silvia, Moria and Jonaton (guide) were wonderful, everything was taken care of. All we had to do was show up. To wake up the morning of the second day and look at the Falls from our room was just amazing.

Lunfarda is AMAZING! We flew up to Iguazu, stayed the night in the park, took a river boat to (and under) the falls, and then visited the Brazilian side of the falls before flying home. It was INCREDIBLE! Every detail was arranged, including pick up and drop off at our Buenos Aires hotel. This is a must-do if you visit Argentina! And use Lunfarda!

What a great tour on both sides of the Iguazu Falls both on the Argentinian side as well as the Brazil side. The flights from Buenos Aires were flawless and our guide Sylvia was helpful, friendly and informative. The hotel was great with an amazing view (everything was so well organized) There were some connectivity issues at the hotel which is a very first world problem, but because I had to provide my credit card number orally, I feel that my credit card was frauded and I had to cancel it. NOT the fault of Lunfarda. I guess I am saying just beware. Jonaton was a great guide as well. They treated us like kings. I would DEFINITELY HIGHLY recommend this travel company.

In addition to a very informative all-day tour of BA, we also booked with Lunfarda for a two-day Iguazu Falls trip that was AMAZING! This boutique agency is fantastic at supplying personalized travel experiences! Highly recommend!

It was an amazing tour with a very knowledgeable guide. We discovered a part of Argentinean history that is often neglected or denied. If you want to circumvent touristic clichés, this is the tour for you.

When I knew I would be in Buenos Aires, I intentionally searched for a tour that would highlight the black experiences in/contributions to Argentina. I was completely blown away the tour and our guide, Ms. Ekene. Not only was she very knowledgeable about Afro-Argentine history, but she was also very engaging with us a group, having dialogue with us instead of just lecturing. Our tour ended before the Candombe events of the night (Sunday evening) so it was great to cap off the experience with that. We loved it so much that we told other members of our LARGE traveling group, and they booked the experience as well. 100/10

Fernando was knowledgeable and passionate about the food and history of Argentina. We had amazing food-learned tons-and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!!

We did a wonderful, 3 week holiday in South America, including a week long, small ship cruise, from Buenos Aires to Rio. Without any doubt, the highlight of this entire trip – the most memorable days – were the ones we spent with Lunfarda Travel and their incredible staff. First, we did a full day, private tour of Buenos Aires, (“BA 101,” see separate review), which was absolutely fantastic. On this tour, though, we did a complete overnight, 2-day excursion, from Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls, all organized by Lufarda and with two Lunfarda guides. (There were 18 in our LGBT group). Wow. This was a stunningly good experience. Every detail was impeccably organized, from the 4am pickup at our hotel to the return, at 1am, 2 days later. (Yes, there were some long days, but plenty of opportunity to rest and relax too). Our Iguazu hotel was amazing. The guides could not have been more attentive and considerate of our needs. The hikes, views, boat excursions, cocktail parties, lunches . . . All were absolutely perfect. The itinerary, which included both the Argentinian and Brazilian side of the falls, was about as complete as you can imagine and there were even fun “contingency plans” to accommodate the unpredictability of the border crossing process. This was the trip of a lifetime. Thank you Lunfarda.
