Confirm the meeting point
Reconfirm directly with BA Walking Tours before arrival—the start location can change and you must find the guide with their small sign at Florida St. and Paraguay St.
Carry small cash for taxis
One short taxi ride is typical during the itinerary—have roughly USD $5–7 in local currency for that transfer and any quick snacks.
Wear sturdy shoes for cobbles
Many historic streets are cobblestone or uneven; supportive footwear reduces fatigue and the chance of a twisted ankle.
Respect Recoleta rules
Cemetery access is included but stay on paths, avoid climbing on monuments and follow guide instructions out of respect for gravesites.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive, grippy shoes are essential for cobblestones and long spans of pavement.

Staying hydrated between cafe stops keeps energy steady in warm months.
