We spent a delightful three hours with Jonathan Feldman for his Guided Crash Course starting at MALBA and continuing out into the streets of Palermo Soho. Jonathan’s knowledge of Latin American art and the current art scene in Buenos Aires seems encyclopedic. He was very flexible, fun, and easy to spend time with. We learned a lot and would recommend this tour to any visitor wanting to learn more about the culture and the city.
While our guide was pleasant enough, we didn't get what we paid for. The MALBA and street art tour of Buenos Aires was supposed to include a comprehensive tour of MALBA and a taxi ride to see street art in a different area (Coghlan). That didn't happen. As soon as we met our guide, he told us that the temporary exhibits at MALBA were closed so our MALBA tour would be shorter than usual, AND that he couldn't take us to see ANY street art due to a labor strike. (We later found out that many street art locations were unaffected by the strike). So we just slowly walked us through the permanent exhibit at MALBA, mostly repeating the signage that the museum provided. Very little added value there. Then our guide suggested we stop for a beverage at MALBA, and asked us to pay for ourselves - even though we weren't taking the taxi and street art components of the prepaid tour. After MALBA, he took us on a walk to the library, pointing out some architecture that we had seen previously; this is not what we signed up for. All in all a disappointing, overpriced tour. In the circumstances, Context Travel should have offered us a chance to cancel the tour since the guide knew he wouldn't be able to do what was promised.
Juan was an excellent guide for the tour of MALBA. His background in design ties in well to his knowledge of the contemporary art on display. He shares his insights in engaging conversation and also left room for us to approach the art on our own. The artists represented were from across Latin America and Juan placed them in the context of the artistic and cultural influences that likely affected how their art was generated.
