    Mayhem during Holy week

    Alina_R, Apr 2026
    We picked this company since they had the buses more often, but it took us 3 buses wait to get out of caminito since the lines were so long. The stops are the same as the red buses so the lanes get mixed. This was a big problem especially at the San Telmo stop, eventually the yellow line was separated and formed behind a couple of parked unmarked buses (about 40 people), thus the yellow busses kept skipping the stop (2 times ) and when they stopped ( 3 buses in total) they only picked up a handful of passengers. Ended up taking a cab to catch it 2 stops over and once in downtown, they transferred us to another bus that took 20 min to take off. So just wasted a lot of time waiting...

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry to read about the delays and frustration you experienced during Holy Week. Dates like these bring exceptionally high demand in Buenos Aires, but even in that context, we fully understand how disappointing it is to spend such a large part of your day waiting instead of enjoying the city. We especially appreciate the detail you provided regarding the situation in Caminito, San Telmo, the mixed lines, the difficulty identifying the correct boarding area, and the additional delay caused by the transfer downtown. Feedback like yours is extremely valuable, because it helps us clearly identify where the experience did not meet the standard we want for our passengers. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. A hop-on hop-off service should offer freedom, flexibility, and a pleasant way to discover the city, and we regret that in your case the operational congestion during one of the busiest periods of the year affected that experience so heavily. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We truly value your comments and will take them seriously as part of our ongoing efforts to improve organization, stop management, and the boarding experience during peak-demand dates. Warm regards, Sebastian Sanchez

    A quick overview of BA.

    fred_h, Mar 2026
    We boarded at stop 2 just after 9am. A tour guide scanned our QR codes and gave us a map. We stayed on up to stop 21 about 12 midday.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Dear fred_h, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with the Hop-On Hop-Off Buenos Aires tour. We're delighted to know you were able to start your day early and enjoy a ride through the city, boarding at stop 2 and exploring several parts of Buenos Aires along the route. This tour is designed precisely to give travelers a convenient and comfortable overview of the city, allowing everyone to discover many of Buenos Aires’ most iconic neighborhoods and landmarks in a short amount of time. We’re glad to hear the boarding process was smooth and that our team was there to assist you with scanning your QR codes and providing the route map. We truly hope this experience helped you get a great first impression of our beautiful city and inspired you to explore even more during your stay. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back in Buenos Aires in the future. Warm regards, Sebastian Sanchez

    Make sure you have a QR code before the trip.

    Earl_B, Feb 2026
    If I was sent a QR code I could not find it on the day for Tour. All I had was a confirmation number. The street attendants put me on a Yellow bus. The bus attendant put me off at the next stop. I had to walk almost a mile to get back to where I started. The street attendants put me on a red bus. The attendant said I was on the wrong bus and advised me to get off and take the Yellow bus. I said I was put off the yellow bus. He let me stay on. I rode the entire circuit for rear I would not get back on if I got off. I bc did not have a good experience.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for sharing your experience. After personally reviewing your reservation, I can confirm that there was a failure on our side regarding the delivery of the QR code required to access the service. For that, I sincerely apologize. This was clearly not the experience we aim to provide. As soon as we identified the situation, we processed a full refund of your booking (USD 42) and immediately reinforced our internal procedures to ensure that all required documentation is properly sent before each departure. At FONTENAY TOURS, we believe that when something does not go as planned, the right thing to do is to take responsibility and resolve it promptly. Your feedback helps us improve, and I truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I hope we may have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide the seamless experience you deserved from the beginning. Warm regards, Sebastian Sanchez Managing Director FONTENAY TOURS

    Over pay, cheaper at the kiosk. Negative

    Edwin_A, Feb 2026
    Don't by your ticket here. Way to expensive,....00000000_______nnononono-------⁰0000000000000000000000

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Dear Edwin, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to learn that you felt the price was higher than expected. We always strive to maintain transparent and competitive pricing. However, when tickets are purchased through international platforms such as Viator, the final price may include service fees and distribution costs that are not directly set by us. For this reason, prices may differ from those offered at local kiosks. That said, we want every guest to feel fully confident in their decision. If you wish, I would be glad to personally review your case and clarify any questions. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective, as it helps us continue improving. Kind regards, Sebastian Sanchez

    Great overview of the city

    Gisele_B, Jan 2026
    Great way to get an overall perspective of the city. The bus was clean and the staff were very polite and helpful.

    Stops early, around...

    Leslie_D, Jun 2025
    Stops early, around 5:00pm, which isn’t very late. The stops were mis-numbered on one of the busses, but the info was good. On another bus there was no information. The busses did not run on time as they stated, but that wasn’t too bad.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Dear Leslie, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! 🌟 We’re truly sorry to hear that some aspects of the tour didn’t fully meet your expectations. We're currently working closely with our operations team to improve the stop numbering, ensure that all buses provide the correct onboard information, and maintain a more reliable schedule. That said, we’re glad you still found the content informative and were able to enjoy part of your journey through this beautiful city we love so much. We sincerely appreciate you choosing us and taking the time to leave your feedback. Reviews like yours help us improve every day. We hope to welcome you back to Buenos Aires again very soon! Warm regards, Sebastian Sanchez Managing Director FONTENAY TOURS

    Not worth the money....

    Andres_R, Apr 2025
    Family of 4 spent ~160 for a glorified bus ride. The best thing was the map with the key spots of the city. However, the bus service was not that reliable. One bus was so old that the audio units did not work at all. Also, bus missed stops and did not follow schedule (had to wait more than 30') at a stop. In the end we only hopped on and off twice. Would have been better off buying a city guide and taking a couple of taxis. Too expensive for what it is.

    Response from Host, Apr 2025

    Dear Andres, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear that your expectations weren’t fully met — that’s never what we hope for, especially when it comes to discovering a city as vibrant as Buenos Aires. We deeply value your feedback regarding the audio system and delays. We’ve already shared your comments with the operational team to ensure improvements are made swiftly. Our goal is always to provide a smooth, enjoyable, and enriching experience, and when that doesn't happen, we take it to heart. That said, I'm glad you found the city map helpful — it’s designed to highlight the best of Buenos Aires, and I hope it inspired some memorable moments during your time here. If you ever return, I’d love to personally offer you a better experience and help you explore the city in a way that truly reflects the quality and passion we stand for. Warm regards, Sebastián Sánchez Director General FONTENAY TOURS
