Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Calle Defensa Bairro San Telmo, Buenos Aires Argentina

Meet your guide and small group in San Telmo and make your way to the city center aboard a comfortable minivan. Start your tour at the place where Bergoglio lived with his parents and siblings during his first years of life. Visit formative educational institutions, such as the College of Our Lady of Mercy and Universidad del Salvador, a Jesuit university. See where the pope took his sacraments and received his religious vocation, including Basilica of San José de Flores, where he devoted his life to God when he was just 17 years old.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Iglesia de San Ignacio de Loyola, Calle Bolivar 225 Esquina Alsina 520, Buenos Aires 1091 Argentina

In addition to educational and religious sites, your guide will take your small group to the San Lorenzo de Almagro Athletic Club, where you’ll learn about the pope’s love of futbol (soccer).

Continue your tour to the San Ignacio de Loyola Church.


Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires Argentina

Then, you will head to the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral, which overlooks Plaza de Mayo. Considered the main Catholic church in Buenos Aires, the 16th-century cathedral was rebuilt several times in a mix of architectural styles. It was here that the Argentinean people waited to hear the designation of the successor to Pope Benedicto XVI.

Duration: 1 hour

Good tour but guide could have had more background on Pope Francis with clearer English. A world traveller would already know something of the Pope's background and so could do with more local input. It was still a good tour and using a local street taxi was an unusual way of touring.
