Over-priced

Trevor_F, Jan 2026

This is way too expensive. The tour was in Spanish repeated after with English on a system that echoed. You go into the church for 30 minutes then museum for an hour with 45min to hour drive there and back. We paid originally over 250 USD pp and I see it is about 200 pp, but it's still too expensive. Rereading the description of the tour, it's does what it specifically says. Observe the observatory means quickly drive by. I assumed architectural tour you would stop at additional structures and discuss but you drive around a little and we just didn't understand the communication very well at all of building we drove by.

Medium recommended.

Alessandro_C, Dec 2023

The tour is nice but consists out of approx. 50 % driving time. Besides that La Plata hat not much to offer besides 2/3 nice buildings and a museum. The tour therefore is very well overpriced and much cheaper when booked locally or is might done with a simple taxi.
