Top Buenos Aires Day Trips

We booked the local food tour in Palermo SoHo district. Lou was our guide. She was outstanding as was the entire culinary and cultural experience ! Definitely take the tour if you want to understand more about the history and culture of Buenos Aires. And the food was all delicious and part of the story. Lou was the BEST!

Our visit included early morning pick-up and early evening drop-off, with driver assisting to obtain our boat ticket. Customs and trip over and back was uneventful and our guide was waiting for us in Colonia. Alejandra was enthusiastic about her country and provided a leisurely tour. Very informative and enjoyable.

This was the most wonderful experience! From the time our efficient, thoughtful and communicative driver, Adrian, showed up at our doorstep, we had an amazing time. Julieta, our local guide (works, lives and is a teacher in San Antonio de Areco, so was very plugged in with the history of the area, community and knew all the local artisans we visited giving us some unique access opportunities!) She was very informative and extremely responsive to our needs throughout the day, often going out of her way to make certain things happen or go more smoothly for us. She was really wonderful wirh my 6yo daughter too. I originally didn't really know if we needed/wanted the town historical portion of the tour, but in retrospect now I feel it was vital to understanding the history of the region and culture of the Gauchos and hence really enhanced the day's experience (as opposed to just showing up at the Estancia with no context). The afternoon at the Estancia itself was a dream -- my daughter was so thrilled to ride a horse and the food, cultural show (this is not just a tourist gimmick, I asked and they only have real gauchos and local artists performing), gaucho-horse handling presentation and really the entire ambience were all fantastic. It was truly a splendid day and I couldn't recommend this tour and company more highly!

As i look back on our time in BA, i most fondly remember our time with Alfredo, the world's most accommodating guide. He has a tremendous wealth of knowledge and a great sense of humor to match. And his patience is legendary. My wife and i consider him a hidden treasure.

First day in Buenos Aires and Pablo gave us an incredible overview of this beautiful city. His passion for his city was evident as he brought us to the many neighbourhoods and explained local and interesting history and exciting sites to visit. Pablo provided us with so many excellent links and recommendations that will make our 6 days in Buenos Aires so well planned. He timed our private tour to our needs and also made sure we do not miss out on essentials. Thank you so much for a great day.

A very enjoyable trip to the Tigre Delta. A half hour ride from downtown BA and the town of Tigre has a definite charm to it. The boat ride lasted about an hour through the canals. Not much to see but enjoyable. The snack consisted of empanadas and a beer. They were very tasty as well. Finished with being dropped off at a market area to walk around. Enjoyable but not sure it’s worth the price.

We loved our tour! We were a family party of six and took the private tour option, which cost slightly more but meant we were picked up and dropped off from our hotel without any other stops, saving time. Our guide and driver were both excellent and we learned so much about the history of the gauchos and ranching in Argentina. We thought that the Estancia itself might feel hokey or overly touristy, but that was not the case. Yes, there were tourists there and the day was designed for them, but it felt very authentic. We had an excellent lunch, rode horses (fairly briefly), saw and then learned about traditional dances and then saw a very moving and impressive horse show. This was a great day and one of the highlights of our family trip to Argentina!

This event was spectular; the min-bus ride there, the food and the show. Our driver picked us up in a fully restored 1988 Mercedes min-bus that had a whistle for a horn - he used that to whistle at people all over town as we approached the theater. Everyone was waving so we waved back, feeling like celebratives. The three course meal consisted of bread and wine, appetizer, entre and dessert - all were served hot and fast as we were fed before the show, The dancing was stunning, richly choerographed, and intense. The combonation of singing, the musicians and dancing was wonderful. This is a must-do event.
