This is necessary because the QR code is automatically issued with each new reservation and if you modify your existing one, you will not receive the updated QR.
- If you have a confirmed reservation and wish to add more passengers, we kindly ask that you make a new reservation for the additional people instead of modifying the existing one. This is necessary because the QR code is automatically generated with each reservation. If the original reservation is modified, the QR code will not update to reflect the new number of passengers.

It is the best way to know a very popular route within the Buenos Aires tourist destination. Impressive!
It was a little difficult locating the bus stops on the map. Other than that, everything worked as expected.
The workers were very accomodating and friendly. Helpful and spoke english well! Instructions were clear.
Gets you where you need to go, quick and easy and with a view! Tour guides also help out with any questions and the automated tour guide on the headphones is useful too! Highly recommend for people who want to see as much as possible in limited time!
Very comprehensive tour and the included tours are great. We did the one in the Recoleta with Samanta Puertas. She was fantastic.
It's very well organized, with explanations at the bus, and free tours with local people in a few locations.
This is really a great way to see the city, and you can get off at your leisure. Its really best to book the 48 hrs because its impossible to get off at all the stops you may be interested in, in one day. One thing, I wasn't always sure where places were that the announcer mentioned, and some are far from the stop. I was able to walk into the infamous LA Boca neighborhood. I missed my first day and got off at a few stops on the second day. A good experience overall. Buses pass every half hour.
It’s a good tour, but trying to find the stop is challenging. We were close to Stop 20 or 21 and there was no sign at all like a stop. So we Uber to Stop 0, so advise would be to go to Stop 0. The number provided did not work either, once we figured this out, the tour was good…
It is recommended to do it the first day to familiarize with the city. The bus was only on time and the tourist guide was informative.
I could find all the yellow buses, but not once could I find the stop for a red bus. Granted, I may be the only one who struggled to find the right stop that after multiple attempts to reach the bus company and walking the roots where I could see buses, but they were not stopping, after two hours I did my own tour. I’m still very frustrated with how this worked and would have absolutely done the yellow bus company which has multiple kiosks and individuals to support you versus this red company.
We took the Red Line and we saw so much of the big city of Buenos Aires. This is truly a great way to hear about the history and enjoy the sites while getting off at places of interest. We enjoy this excursion almost every city we visit. Highly recommend.
The days we traveled on the bus the routes were changed with little to no information and absolutely nobody to call for help. We walked a significant distance to a stop to find it had been changed with no notice, wasting 90 mins of our day. We missed out on a significant portion of the route due to changes that were not reflected on the interactive map or in any of their information.. TAKE THE YELLOW BUS, we saw it pass regularly as we waited for the red bus to show up. Very disappointing. Viator still has not responded to our requests through their app, useless.
Nice experience although you’re going thru a very busy city so the trip will take longer than you might anticipate
The tour bus provides lots of information about Buenos Aires. It's good for first-time visitors to know about the city. It's worth the money.
It’s a great way to experience Buenos Aries. I highly recommend completing the tour in its entirety, then hop off to experience the locations you most desire. If you desire to hop on/off at each stop, start early.
There was a hiccup with the narrative and the actual stop midway through the tour so make sure you’re in sync at each stop. Also, finding the starting point was not clear so give yourself enough time to locate the starting point. Hopefully they can clarify that information in the very near future.
No handicap help or accommodations. Got on at 2 different stops BUT had to wait for 2nd bus both times due to capacity limitations. Which I get but there was no place to sit, standing only and once in the humid sun. Doesn't make for a good experience. After waiting the 2nd time, I was afraid to "hop off" the bus. Unfortunately, this company also likes to advertise the BA Chinese NY--which resulted in no view for the front 4 seats of the bus. Audio did not sync with stops which reduces the effectiveness.
Paid extra for boat tour and was not available because if wind. Really was not windy at all.
Did not enjoy.
Very unprofessional and it didn’t matter that we had prepaid! We were dropped off in the rain, and after an hour of standing in the rain we left. The two buses that arrived in the hour that we waited were full so that we could not get on.
No clear indication on where the stops are. Adress is missing to find these via google maps. We had to search for 45 minutes and have been waiting for 45 other minutes. Finally took a cab to be at the Theatro Colon in time for our reservation.
The full trip is about three hours but it gives you a great overview of different areas to go back and visit. Headphones are provided and multiple languages for the narrative available. We enjoyed the two day pass. First day did the entire tour and second day went back to specific areas.
2 out of 4 people in our group could not hear the tour because their ear phones did not work.
The tour could be shorter with less history.
You better get a map of where the stops are. We walked for 45 minutes till we found a stop.
Also be prepared to have the narration cut in and out. Our bus didn’t follow the map provided. Very poor experience
Buenos Aires is a large city and there are over 25 stops in the route, so you use your time wisely selecting the best sites for you while starting the tour at the earliest timeslot available, this will give you the best experience possible. Thanks and enjoy, Tim
Had to wait a long long time for a bus. The yellow busses went by twice while I waited at one stop. Hard to match commentary to places they’re describing.
The individual stops we clearly marked which we appreciated. We got on&off a few times and one of the buses had the wrong audio for all the stops - it was out by 3 stops behind. The route itself was very good with lots of variety.
Excellent way to see the city and learn about its history. It’s also a good way to get from one attraction to another. We typically book this bus the first day we arrive in a new city. This narrative was better than some we have had in other cities.
The bus was quite crowded the day we used it, and many people had to wait for subsequent buses. Additionally, the route was a little confusing since the numbering of the stops didn't exactly match between the map, the signs at the stops, and the audio provided on the bus. And the audio at my seat, at least, was hard to hear as it cut in and out.
We rode the full circuit the first day. It's a great way to see the city with interesting commentary.
The next day we did the on/off at the sites that we were interested in.
Great way to get an overview of the city for first time visitors although Grey line needs to erect signs at ALL p/u points. We got lost for over an hour trying to find the stop around the planetarium and gave up and walked 8 km home! There were also route changes in the Palermo area and the map did not correspond. For the price paid they should keep things in order. Also two of the buses had serious vibration issues when seated towards the back that made us shake strongly at low rpm. One last thing is that the whole circle trip is about 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
This is a good way a great way to see a lot of Buenos Aires Argentina at one time. I wrote the entire 3 1/2 hour circuit without getting off on the first day and on the second day I was able to go back to the the places I wanted to see and spend more time. Therefore buying the 48 hour pass worked well for me.
