I have heard of the Cicerones and looked at their web site and it looks like a great service they provide and is something I would like to do on my next trip to BA (hopefully it will be in November!!!) Was just wondering if all that is expected is to pay the Cicerone's meals and transportation. Or is some kind of a tip in order. Would not want to come off looking cheap - however also would not want to come off as being tacky or condescending.
Also , how long in advance should you start making the arrangements with the Cicerones?
Gracias..
