About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- sherylselivanoff0 contributionsDay well spentGood communication and organization. Driver Nina was prompt. The written explanation of steps to follow was helpful. Guide in colonia was friendly and knowledgeable. Free time there was fun. And return voyage was easy and uneventful. Be aware you are traveling between countries so there are lines both going and coming back for customs, immigration (both countries) and boarding process for the ferry. But for me it was an easy and fairly inexpensive way to add another country to my list, and colonia was a delightful town to spend an afternoon in. I traveled solo and felt very safe. Most places accepted usd but change was only in Uruguay pesos, so take smaller us bills or change money in the ferry terminal. There’s an exchange there. There was a fee to use credit cards.Written March 26, 2025
- brianf3210 contributionsGreat way to learn about a dynamic part of Buenos Aires.Anahi was a great guide who not only knew the area but also had great personal insight into the vibe of the city. We really appreciated having a young guide to talk about an area that is driven and shaped so much by the young. My only knock was that I thought it would cover more; I believed it was going to be 2 hours and even though we had a lot of additional questions it only lasted about 90 minutes.Written March 22, 2025
- robertrX6132SG0 contributionsVery nice showShow was excellent. The atmosphere was let’s say “comfortably close” to your neighbor and the meal perfunctorily served. The steak was mediocre but the rest of the meal was very good. Especially the soup and the dessert. Hard to find a waiter for a second drink though, so picture “unlimited beer and wine” as “one drink”. I did love the transportation to and from the event. Very nice driver and van. So all in all it was a good experience though the meal was pretty much a company convention standard.Written March 19, 2025
- itchyfeetKent0 contributionsTango and steak 💃🏻🕺Enjoyed our evening, the food was very good and steak huge. The wine was topped up but couldn’t help noticing tables right at the front were refilled more often , we were sitting next to them but they didn’t refill ours nearly as much. We dance ourselves, not very well we’re in our 70’s, but we couldn’t help feeling that the dancers , who were obviously well trained, did all the steps as they had learned them but there was no passion - they seemed to be just going through their routine The older couple did have passion. Maybe they were the teachers? The band was spectacular though! And the singers. Amazing music! !!! We enjoyed our evening very much though All in all it was a spectacular show, we enjoyed it hence 4 stars.Written March 16, 2025
- jnshuang0 contributionsNot worth joining this tour !!!!This tour is disappointing. It is nothibg but just a ferry ride and a two hours walking tour of the city centre. This is easily achieveable by just buying a ferry ticket and walk to the city by oneself. A waste of money. Dont consider this a tour at all. I actually say the ticket booth at a shopping centre selling ticket for the same tour for $90. Very DISAPPOINTED !!!!Written March 13, 2025
- roberthW1087RV0 contributionsNot worth the money. Take a cheaper tour and you’ll get the sameFrankly it’s a cheat. The “premium tour” starts with only 12 people but then takes the same boat as all the other (cheaper) tours with 200 other people. It’s not the one on the photo! The old and uncomfortable bus without suspension on broke down on the way back from Tigre (what can happen) and it took more than an hour to get another one. No apology from the agency. All very disappointing. Our guide Martina in contrary did a great job (otherwise only one star)Written March 8, 2025
- Thomas O0 contributionsPerformers amazing, everything else okay.The dancers and musicians were incredible, everything else was average. Expected better food and service for the price. The dancers made everything worth it, great show.Written March 7, 2025
- scubaDave520 contributionsThe 2 hour show flew byWe had good food, more than we could eat. They kept our wine glasses filled. The show was extremely good. Money well spent.Written March 7, 2025
- billandbens0 contributionsPerfect evening watching a great showFirst rate dinner and show, superb entertainment, a must see in Buenos Aires. Absolutely loved the evening, a lovely warm welcome, great food and excellent service, and a fantastic show. A smaller venue than what the big tours offer but that's what makes this place special, so personal, not a bad seat in the house. Came out wanting to go right back in and see it all again.Written March 4, 2025
- musag20170 contributionsOverall worth goingPlace is beautiful, the singing and dancing was superb, and the vibe great. There was an optional “class” before dinner, then dinner at 8:15 and show at 10 pm. It was great meeting other guests. Two areas could use improvement; it was very hot inside and although the servers were excellent and very pleasant, the steak was so so. Very generous with the wine and drinks.Written February 24, 2025
- CaroJardine0 contributionsSo interesting , our guide ( Mr Piscatelli) was excellent and shared so much information. Well worth the trip.Very interesting tour , our guide Mr Piscatelli was well informed and shared his knowledge freely. Well worth the trip.Written February 22, 2025
- Don_e_girl0 contributionsNot the place for an authentic experienceIf you’re looking for an experience which feels intimate and authentic, this is not it. It feels like a tourist trap. Think room jam packed with tourists, bright light and food which is hit and miss - my steak was good, my husband’s fish was inedible. Can’t fault the performance of the singers and dancers but the overall feel during the dinner for the almost 2 hours before the show felt very pedestrian and lacking atmosphere. Maybe tango is an outdated concept in contemporary Buenos Aires and it is unrealistic to expert an “authentic” experience?Written February 20, 2025
- I3845WZpeterm0 contributionsFabulous eveningThere are so many tango performance options making it quite difficult to select one. We booked the El Querandi and enjoyed every aspect of the performance. The theatre is quite small but is a perfectly adequate venue. The dinner was excellent, in fact the food exceeded our expectations. Each course was delicious. Serving staff were helpful, friendly and efficient. The performance involved a band and five dancing couples and included a number of excellent singers. The dancers was just amazing. It was a high energy performance by obviously very skilled dancers. It was riveting. We highly recommend the El Querandi.Written February 19, 2025
- Voyager1021890 contributionsInteresting Day in ColoniaIt was very convenient to have the pre-arranged transportation to and from the boat to our Buenos Aires hotel. The included walking tour lasted about an hour and was interesting and informative. The remaining three hours weren't quite enough for all we'd have liked to have done, but a pleasant lunch on the square, accompanied by Uruguayan tannat wine was delightful. It would have been helpful to add to the posted information that a drivers license (not just passport) is mandatory to rent a golf cart, which we were disappointed not to be able to do. Shopping at the Made In Uruguay store was fun. This was a very nice day trip.Written February 17, 2025
- pccNY0 contributionsHours & Hours of Waiting in Lines for Immigration and Ferries with Very Little Payoff When You Get ThereThe driver and guide for the walking tour were excellent, courteous, and in all ways fine. They were not the problem. However, the trip to Colonia involves a lot of waiting in long lines in packed rooms for tedious immigration procedures each way, than a long wait for the ferry each way, then a longish ferry ride. When you finally get to Colonia, there is really not much there. The only tour available is a group tour, which had too many people in it. And there just is very little to see. All in all, it is a lot of waiting for hours in unpleasant circumstances for very little payoff. Our limited time in Buenos Aires could have been much better spent.Written February 15, 2025

We had a wonderful city sightseeing around Buenos Aires, a good way to get around the city and visit the most important spots, even if you have already been to Buenos Aires before. Our guide was very informative and the driver was very kind. It met our expectations and we enjoyed it very much.

We started our city tour in the morning. Our tour guide was great. She picked us up on time at our hotel and next, after reaching another hotel, we began our tour. Buenos Aires is very beautiful and after having an outlook to Teatro Colon and the main avenue, we headed to Plaza de Mayo, our first stop. We could see Casa Rosada while we learned about the history and culture. The other stop was La Boca, a very beautiful neighborhood with colourful houses. We could see some street artists and tango dancers there. We also enjoyed other attractions like Puente de la Mujer in Puerto Madero and visited Palermo and Recoleta, too. This let us have a snapshot of this city and spend a wonderful morning.

Buenos Aires City is fantastic, so many places to visit. We started our tour on time and visited Plaza de Mayo, the wide avenue 9 de Julio and neighborhoods such as Palermo, Recoleta, La Boca and Puerto Madero. We enjoyed the time we spent with our tour guide Daniela that morning. The driver was very nice, too. The places I loved best were Palermo and the colorful area of La Boca. Thank you so much for the nice day we had!.

We had a wonderful morning with Daniela, our tour guide. We were picked up at our hotel in downtown at the time set and visited this fantastic city. We enjoyed La Boca and the colorful houses there. We stopped at Plaza de Mayo, too. Recoleta was also attractive, specially the french arquitecture. We could sightsee many important spots while we learned about the Argentine history and culture.
