Highly Professional & informative
Amazing experience with our wonderful guide Veronica and driver Santiago. Veronica made the tour so interesting and gave the right amount of info. We left feeling like we had a good understanding of Buenos Aires, the history, layout and culture. Fully recommend. We did the tour on a Saturday so there was less traffic and easy to get around the city.

This was a lovely day tour
We were picked up with the van right at our Air BnB. Our guide Veronica spoke perfect English for us. She was knowledgeable and energetic. The van took us to El Tigre where we enjoyed the boat trip around the islands. There was an audio of information in a few languages. We went to a lovely restaurant in El Tigre for a lunch - called a “snack”. It was empanadas and drinks. We then walked a short way to a tourist shopping area with nice furniture, gifts and household accessories. We appreciated being there mid week once there were no hoards of people as on the weekends. Highly recommend Veronica and this day trip.

This was an excellent...
This was an excellent tour of Buenos Aires. We covered a lot of ground during the 4 hours, saw all the key neighborhoods, learned a lot about the history of the city as well as Argentina.
Alfredo was very knowledgeable, courteous, and punctual. Thank you!

Food tour Buenos Aires Palermo district
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!

Informative and leisurely break to Quiet Colonia
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.

Superb
The entire trip was superb. Our tour guide Victoria was the best we've ever had in all the years of using viator. Loved also the horse back and that Gaucho skill at end was emotional and sensational. We've seen many horse shows, rodeos, etc. but nothing like this. We may come back and stay at their hotel.

Wonderful day trip from Buenos Aires!
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!

Tango dinner show a must
Thoroughly enjoying the evening watching traditional Argentinian dances. Every element of the show was brilliant and the musicians were great. Food simple choices but well presented and very tasty. The wine was flowing which was an added bonus. A must do if in Buenos Aires

Historical and Hilarious
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.

Wonderful experience!
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.

Worth the price?
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.

Wonderful Estancia Visit!
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!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Buenos Aires day trips are the perfect way to discover Argentina’s rich culture and changing landscapes. Travel into the Pampas to go horseback riding with gauchos (cowboys) at a local estancia (ranch), cruise around the islands and canals of one of the world’s largest river deltas, or dive into history as you hop between colonial towns. On a long day trip, you can also ride the ferry to neighboring Uruguay or travel by plane to admire the most extensive waterfall system in the world. You can choose a private or group tour, and many also include hotel pickup and lunch.
