Garufa B&B, Traveler review, Feb. 27/2007

This small B&B lives up to all of the previous reviews. Regina is a great host with a wealth of information on restaurants and local activities. The free internet access was greatly appreciated. The neighborhood has good transportation options via bus or subway. We also booked an airport transfer through Regina's friend Dante and he provided a good service. We would highly recommend Garufa (www.garufabuenosaires.com)

Dante Proano was only a name and a picture on a website when my wife and I planned our honeymoon trip to Buenos Aires in August 2006. However, Dante selflessly introduced us into the myriad of milongas and the culture of BA and rapidly became a trusted friend. He translated from Spanish to English when necessary and transported us reliably to and from airports and points of interest. Although we only had two weeks to explore the wonderful city, we can't wait to return to resume our friendship with Dante. He is truly a person you should meet and use for your transportation and tour needs. Feel free to email me directly should you need additional information about Dante or BA.

Dante Proano is a great host in Buenos Aires. He can pick you up from the airport and accompany you to any milonga, give tango lessons, and even take you shopping. He is a wonderful friend.  If you're going to Buenos Aires, call him.

Dante, we have to day arrived back from our amazing trip around Argentina and Chile and wanted you to receive our first Thank You note. We had such a good day with you and it served to be the beginning of a wonderful holiday.
We will keep in touch and do hope to come back to BA before too long. In the meanwhile Dante's Tours will be highly recommended to all our friends.

I had taken tango lessons in the US and even though I am generally a good dancer and love dancing, I was finding myself intimidated and insecure on the dance floor. Dante changed all that! In just a few hours, with wonderful patience and a fun sense of humor, he taught the "sense" of tango, the foundation on which I will be able to go on and build more complicated steps as time goes by. Now, when I'm on the dance floor, the clumsiness of insecurity is gone and I can enjoy the dance! Thanks, Dante! And he taught me how to "give the look" to get invited to dance and it works in the US too!

Hi Dante - Many thanks for the services you provided us while we were in Buenos Aires.
Thank you for meeting us at the airport, booking and taking us for the Senor Tango show, and for taking us on the City tour. Your help was invaluable. Attached is a photograph taken while we were with you.
We shall certainly recommend you to anyone we know who is coming to Buenos Aires.
Kind regards,
Emil Wijesinghe
