    Perfect Day!

    Christina_R, Feb 2026
    We were in Buenos Aires on a layover before continuing to Ushuaia for a cruise and wanted to see a bit of the city. I booked this tour just before we got on our flight to Buenos Aires so it was short notice. Our guide, Emiliano, connected to us via WhatsApp and was punctual with his arrival. His English was great and we understood just enough Spanish to also be able to communicate with our driver. He offered to customize our tour to what we preferred and took photos of us at all the major spots. He even made a lunch suggestion and we had some delicious Argentine sandwiches between the River and the airport while watching some birds. This was an excellent way to see a lot of the city in a short visit and a great value!

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re really happy to hear that you made the most of your layover in Buenos Aires. Even with short notice, it’s great to know everything worked smoothly and that Emiliano was able to provide a flexible, personalized experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the communication, the customization of the tour, and those special moments along the way — including the lunch stop, which sounds like a perfect local touch. Thank you for choosing VIARG. We hope to welcome you again for a longer stay next time!

    Buenos Aires in a day

    Alicia_H, Feb 2026
    This trip was booked the night before as we only had one full day in Buenos Aires. Our guide Laura had a driver which allowed us to be dropped off & picked up quickly & very close to all icon locations. Laura is a lovely person making sure we got the most from our day. She looked after our needs even to the point of making sure we returned to our hotel after the time allowed going beyond our expectations!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy to hear that you were able to make the most of your day in Buenos Aires, even with such short notice. Laura is a wonderful guide, and it’s great to know she took such good care of you and made the experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. We’re also glad the private vehicle helped optimize your time and make everything more comfortable. Thank you for trusting VIARG — we hope to welcome you again on your next visit!

    A comfortable and personalised way to see the highlights.

    Lisa_H, Jan 2026
    This tour was way better than a hop-on hop-off bus. Our guide was super friendly and helpful, made it really easy to find where to meet, and was happy to change things up when we asked to see a few specific spots. It felt much more personal and easygoing rather than rushed. Would definitely recommend.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026
