- 800nikolal0 contributionsThe Gaucho LifeThe gaucho ranch experience was a blast - vibe, music, people, magnificent horses - totally awesome. Enjoyed my first ever horse ride and the delicious food.

- Cherry M0 contributionsA very enjoyable day in the heart of the Argentinian pampas.We were collected from our hotel by our guide Leandro. During the journey, he gave us an entertaining commentary about the day ahead and looked after us at the two stops en route and when we reached the ranch. We mounted up for a half hour ride across the fields among the cattle. Lunch was several courses with plenty of meat! Fun was had watching, and then joining in with, the local display of gaucho style dancing. The final entertainment was observing the close bond between a gaucho and his horse. A great day out and Leandro was a super guide.Written October 12, 2024

My wife and I were visiting Buenos Aires for a couple days prior to getting on a cruise ship. I booked this as a way to see the city without risking walking in dangerous areas and we did not want to take their version of the RedBus tour.
What a wise decision!
Our tour guide (Cami) was outstanding, informative and extremely pleasant. She taught us the history on Argentina and Buenos Aires.
She was very patient with all the old tourists on our tour that were kinda’ irritating with their questions that she had to repeat several times because their hearing was so bad.
We saw most of the major sites and took a walking tour of the cathedral where the current Pope served, main park across the street with the Presidential Office Building, Caminto and Evita’s mausoleum.
It was worth every dollar and I’d highly recommend this tour...and...our driver was really good too!
Take this tour...you’ll likely be glad you did!!

My brother and I took this tour in late January. We were picked up from our hotel at the time stated, and met by our guide Carolina she was knowledgable ad engaging we stopped at Plaza de Mayo given a quick tour and time for photos then off to La Boca where we had some free time and then we’re given a tour. We then traveled to Recoleta to view the grave of Eva Peron but we saw lots more than just that and Carolina had lots to tell us . This was a great way to see the city , whilst travelling between the main stops the mini bus stopped at various places for more information and photo opportunity . Would recommend if you have only a couple of days, want to see the city and maybe return to places on your own

The guide was very knowledgable and friendly and did well at moving people through the sites promptly without rushing people. This is a great tour to do if you don’t have much time in the city or if you want a quick overview to get some idea of the sites you want to visit for longer. If you want to spend longer at each site I would go a the day tour. Very much enjoyed it!

Pick up from hotel was on time and the driver very competent. Guide friendly and Commentary was very good, traffic was challenging because of roadworks but tour was completed seeing all the points of interest and getting a good overview of what is a very large city. Options to leave at different places provided rather than returning to your hotel. Overall I would recommend this tour for an introduction to BA.

If you're short on time and want to see the main highlights of the city then this tour is for you. As a 3hr tour, it covers the main attractions and takes you to the best part of the city in my opinion which is El Caminito. If you want an in depth tour of the city then this is not for you. The agency does a good job keeping the groups small. You do get time to do some souvenir shopping as well. Carolina was a great guide who knew the city's history and was willing to take pics. Good way to see the city!

If you’re anything like me you read through countless reviews before you make your final purchase. Well I did the same when deciding whether or not to purchase this tour but I’m so glad I did. I’ve been in BA for several weeks now on business. I previously did a bike tour around the city but decided to join my work colleague on this tour. It’s a great orientation of the city highlights to expose you to the main sites so you can decide afterwards what you’d like to explore further. They picked us up in a comfortable air conditioned van which was key during these summer month. And the amount of time (3-3.5 hours) was the perfect amount of time. Our tour guide Daniela was great and her English was very good. You can’t go wrong with this tour!

Gabriela, our guide, showed us so many aspects of Buenos Aires in her morning tour of this city she loves so much. Her deep knowledge of the historical background to the various points of interest helped to add so much meaning to an already fascinating range of city sights. Highlights for me were wandering the colourful streets of La Boca, Evita’s grave at Recoleta Cemetery and most movingly, the Plaza de Mayo, the site of weekly protests conducted by mothers wearing white head scarves symbolizing the nappies of their “disappeared” babies. For sports fans there was the focus on football’s great, Diego Maradona and the history of his club.
With a restricted time visiting the city, or an extended time, to get a feel of the city, this is the tour to do. Thank you Gabriela.

Lovely tour of the city. Julieta (our guide) and Pablo (our bus driver) were a very good team. Julieta’s English was very good and she even speaks a little French too! She has a good historical knowledge of the city and allowed us to get out and explore a few locations for walking and pictures. Not too much walking, but enough. The city is still reopening from COVID closures, so there wasn’t the hustle and bustle we might have encountered pre-pandemic.
La Boca was super cute and loved the history of this area, Some of the best souvenirs were here and at lower prices than in the city center (Florida Street). I wish I would have had more time to look at the canvas paintings. I think the Boca Junior stadium tour would be good if you’re a futbol fan. Would have liked to have stopped at some the monuments in the Palermo neighborhood but there’s only so much you can do on a 3 hour tour. Sadly the cemetery (where Eva Perón is entombed) was closed due to COVID. At the end of the tour, we were allowed to be dropped off at the plaza near the cemetery to walk around and go to cafes or shopping if we chose. That a was a great option for a few on our tour. Consider that if you take this tour, it’s an easy walk back to many of the hotels in the center of town.
would definitely recommend this tour and Julieta!

Our driver, Jose, was excellent and made the entire group feel very safe in heavy traffic.
And our guide, Florencia, was superb. She was both attentive and appropriate. And Flower gave us great information. In addition, this short tour gave us a wonderful sense of the geography of the central city.
