About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Skeney570 contributionsNo Dramas in BA TaxisWe ended up catching many cabs over our 3 days in BA and found them to be cheap, fast & reliable. Having done a half day tour on arrival we had a basic idea of the area and never had one driver try it on, which is a rarity in most places. The only glitch was the language barrier as my Spanish is Pequeno (all drivers were male) and their English was limited! But, hey, we got where we wanted, and they were polite & efficient. Also, the Official Taxi rank at the airport was the best thing in BA and $38 was a cheaper alternative then the hotel charge!!Written May 10, 2024
- K2377FFcarolync0 contributionsBest Tour In Buenos AiresWow, you want to see Buenos Aires in a few hours? Howard is your man. totally informative, extremely knowledgeable, and a joy to be with. Picked us up from the airport after our overnight flight from the UK, with good communication and took us to our hotel in the city with a mini tour on the way. Then the next day we had a four hour comprehensive tour of the city including all the main attractions, both the incredible architecture in the cemetery where he seemed to know the history of each family tomb, and the Casa Rosada, and rose garden, we finished with the Caminito, an historical neighbourhood full of historical art and culture. Thoroughly recommended.Written January 21, 2024
- mrschalky0 contributionsFALSE adverting regarding ItineraryVERY DISAPPOINTING. Our "tour" was not even remotely as advertised. We were 2 couples who booked a private tour and chose this company as their advertised itinerary was very comprehensive and covered all the areas and attractions we wanted to see. Of the 10 places we were meant to see, we saw 3 only!! It was a very small vehicle, certainly inadequate for the four of us and the driver. Sitting in the middle on the rear seat meant I got to see very little. All day the driver had huge problems finding parking places which wasted a lot of time. At the first stop following a brief talk by the tour guide, we were left to wander around a park by ourselves as he had to move the car. The next stop (not mentioned on the itinerary) was the same - he told us a little about the building and then left us to go and find parking. Our third and last stop was the Cemetery. We were dropped off a considerable distance from the Entrance and told to walk the rest of the way while he looked for parking. The visit to the cemetery was very interesting but we were there a very long time. After we exited we were instructed by the guide to walk to a shopping mall nearby and wait for him. It was almost 45 minutes before he picked us up. We were then driven around the area where a lot of foreign embassies are located and then returned to our hotel. This "tour" was appalling considering we paid almost $800. I followed up with the wholesaler to request a refund but the company declined. They did not even acknowledge the complaint nor offer an explanation or apologyWritten October 24, 2023
- Myriam O0 contributionsFantastic guideExcellent private tour. Our guide Howard was incredibly knowledgable and gave us a fantastic day in Buenos Aires. We learnt about history, art, culture and much more. We are well traveled and have high standards, and we were very happy with our tour guide - he was great. Time and money well invested.Written April 11, 2023
- sandralE765CY0 contributionsGreat!Wonderful tour with Howard. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He knows everyone at every site we went to. Would love to tour with him again if we are ever back in Buenos Aires. Very entertaining.Written March 9, 2023
- Erin B0 contributionsExcellent Informative tourWe had a very early flight / layover in Buenos Aires. We wanted to tour the city before we had to return to the airport in the afternoon to catch our connecting flight. We were landing at 5am (!!!) and assumed that we would have to wait until a normal hour to do anything ... and then we found this service. More than a taxi or luggage service, you can book a private, customized tour tailored to what interests you in the city. Howard was a such a gem. He met us timely at the airport, showed us around and educated us about Buenos Aires's interesting history. By the time we left, we has seen many of Buenos Aires's highlights, which served as an excellent base when we returned later in our trip. Thank you so much Howard for a wonderful introduction to this beautiful country. We learned a lot!Written February 26, 2023
- sharongraylantis0 contributionsHoward was FANTASTICWe had a private tour booked months before our arrival. Unfortunately it was cancelled at the last minute upon our arrival. Thankfully we found this personalized tour. Couldn’t have been happier. While there were quite a few people on the boat, the ride was much longer than most. Plus Howard was always pointing out various points of interest. We learned so much about the area and history in our 4.5 hours with him. He’s a wealth of information and made it so much fun. Even navigated us through the local market. Thanks Howard!Written February 24, 2023

- O8970TSdavidw0 contributionsBuenos Aires memoriesMy wife and I booked airport transfers as well the tours and we had Howard and Clara as our drivers. We found them both to be very friendly and fun to be with. Their knowledge of BA and the surrounding area was extensive and they made every journey an adventure with their local knowledge, even showing us things that are not on the regular tourist routes. They were very accommodating in the frequency of stops whenever we wished to take photos around the city and Howard was not averse to buying us an occasional coffee. They were always punctual and made our visit to BA a very memorable one. We would highly recommend BA taxis to anyone visiting the city. Howard and Clara, thank you for making our visit to BA unforgettable.Written January 25, 2023
