David_C, May 2025

Well organized and loads to see, some good memories from this trip, we were the only English speaking couple out of around 14 people which was a bit frustrating at times, but the guide was very informative and did speak very good English

Very good half day city tour

Vicky_D, Mar 2025

I lived in BA years ago and this was a great way to re-visit this beautiful city’s most important sites. Especially enjoyed a 20 minute stop in Plaza de Mayo for Casa Rosada, Cabildo and Cathedral, a stop in La Boca for Caminito, wine tasting stop, and going by the obelisk, Teatro Colon, San Telmo, Recoleta, Palermo. Our guide was very good - spine clearly and made it fun. Good value for the money and great intro to BA

Good trip to cover main sights - value for money.

Susan_R, Feb 2020

Interesting tour but a bit rushed. Could have done with longer in La Bocca. Quite a long walk to pick up and from drop off to ship. Found route difficult and had to keep asking the way. Buenos Aires busy - not a pretty city.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Hi Thank you for taking your time to post a review. There are a lot of interesting things in the city so sometimes time is short. We try to give tourists a snapshot of the main spots and give them the opportunity to decide which sights they like more so they can return and have more time in those places they like best. We really appreciate your opinion and we hope you have a nice return home. Best regards, Carlos.
