Took a short 1-2 hour boat tour of the Parana River Delta. Lots of colorful houses on hundreds of inhabited small islands. Don't remember the name of the tour company -- there are several departing from the Estacion Fluvial (old train station). Most impressive building in Tigre is the old casino, now the Art Museum. Saw it briefly from the water -- wish we had an opportunity to go there, even if only for a photo stop. If you are spending many days in Buenos Aires, this is a nice opportunity to see some of the surrounding area. If you only have a day or two, I'd stay in the city where there are many more things I'd rather do.…

We found Tigre juts average. The delta is horrendously polluted and the boat tour was only mildly interesting. Having said this it is worth a look - just don’t pay too much for a tour - there are better things to spend your money on in Argentina.

Great day out. There are many tours but decided to make my own way to Tigre. It is simple and much cheaper. You can use your SUBE card or buy a return ticket at the Retiro station. Train go every 15 min or so. Quite pleasant train journey. Once you get to Tigre, the town is nothing special but nice to walk around and see what is all about. So many catamarans and boats on offer and much cheaper than a tour package from Buenos Aires. Saturday is much busier, a lot of stalls along the river..strange that they do sell a lot or wicker stuff..I do recommend a day trip or a half day.…

We booked this excursion off of our cruise ship, and were pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the area! It is easy to get to by the train in Buenos Aires, so you don't need a driver. This is a very unique vacation spot for locals along the Delta. The architecture alone of the homes were very amazing. The boat ride is about an hour, and it went by very quickly. It is similar to the bayous in Louisiana, yet different enough and something we have never seen before in our world travels. It is a very natural setting, and does not seem touristy. Having been to over 100 countries, this is very unique and worthwhile.…
