Great personal introduction to the city. The theatre is amazing! The museum is also good. We stayed in Recoleta so walk back to hotel from the museum was great, as it went past some nice sights.

The Colon Theater was just amazing. Opéra 2 in Paris is not as easy to compare, but I thought it was better than La Scala in Milan. The old town was interesting, but the new town was boring.

Nice tour and good explanations A planned coffee stop during the long walk would be welcome
