About me

I am Claudia Hercman, an Argentinian tour guide, translator, and visual artist. My main subjects are Memory and Uprooting, in honour of my four grandparents who emigrated from Poland to Argentina in the 1930s.

I was born and raised in Buenos Aires into the Argentinian Jewish community. Twenty years ago, I grew bored of translating with a computer as my only company, so I decided to study tourism and history. I have been conducting city, art and Jewish tours ever since, and enjoying every single moment of it. 

And then, 2020 arrived, and with it the pandemic, which forced me to go back to spending time with my computer. So I decided to create virtual presentations on different topics as an excuse to be able to talk to people and meet new friends from all over the world.

Many Jewish Communities from the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK and Israel have already attended and, in fact, virtual presentations are here to stay. Fortunately, I have resumed in person tours.

I would love to receive you in Buenos Aires, show you my city, the Jewish sites, take you to see the highlights and hidden corners that only locals like me know, and tell you about history and culture.

Looking forward to meeting you soon!
