Key questions
Before you buy, this is what matters
Does the purchase include any admission?
Not for walking the neighborhood: San Telmo is a public area and strolling it is free. A few stops on the route (the San Telmo Market, Galería de la Defensa, Solar de French, El Viejo Almacén) keep their own opening hours and, in some cases, an entrance fee, so it is best to take the tour during the day so you can step inside. Your purchase covers access to GuideMe digital content only.
What language is the narration in?
The narration is available in English. The page and the app work in your language, but the tour audio is in English.
Where does the tour start?
Right in San Telmo, on Defensa street, near Plaza Dorrego, the heart of the neighborhood. The first stop sets you up before you start walking.
How long is it?
The 9-stop route takes an estimated 90 min, but you go at your own pace: pause, repeat and continue when you're ready.
How do I get it after paying?
It's tied to your GuideMe account instantly. Open it on your phone and start listening; the full experience plays from the app.
Do I need internet during the visit?
Yes. Audio currently streams from the GuideMe app and offline downloads are not available, so bring a stable mobile connection and enough battery.
Do I need headphones?
They are not required, but they are strongly recommended for clear narration, a respectful listening volume, and better detail in a busy neighborhood.
Can I request a refund?
Yes, with a 100% refund if the content has not been activated. Once the audio guide is activated, the purchase is considered consumed and is no longer refundable.
