This tour operator did not delivery the value expected.

Sam_C, Mar 2024

Paoula was our guide. She was soft spoken and knowledgeable about the geography of the sites we toured. Sadly though, her depth of knowledge was lacking. This was also an English language tour and again, sadly, her command of the language was very limited. I fault the tour company for putting her in that situation and for the fact she needs more training to be fair to the tourists who book the tours. This is not what we expect from Viator who we have used ma y times before.

Hi Sam, thank you for posting a review. We regret to hear that your experience was not as you expected. We will take note of your comments to imporve our services. Best regards, Carlos

An enjoyable, informative tour.

Narelle_L, Feb 2024

Pick up was over half an hour late to the time stated on our documentation. Tour guide knowledgeable, although all information delivered in both english and spanish. Would have been good to include entry to the cemetery rather than just peeping in from the outside. Perhaps a complimentary bottle of drinking water would have been appreciated as it was very hot. Overall enjoyable.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi, thank you for you for posting a review. Your opinion is important to us and it will certainly help other travelers. The time shown on the voucher is not always the right one. It depends on the hotel where people are. Anyway, we always confirm the correct time and inform there is a tolerance of 35 minutes from that time (it is also stated in our product) while we pickup passengers at different hotels so let's say we arrived within the stipulated time. There are six stops during the tour so people can stock up on something or get some drinks. For the Recoleta cemetery, you would need more than the 25 minutes stop included so we suggest travelers to visit it on their own with enough time. We are very glad you enjoyed our guide's knowledge. Best regards, Carlos.

Small group? We had 14 multinational languages

charlotte_C, Jan 2024

This tour was just okay. There were 14 people, half English half Spanish speaking. 14 is pushing the limit for a small group if they aren't the same nationality. This is how it went as we drove (quickly) by points of interest....In Spanish the guide would describe the building/statue in some length. Then in English, he'd say for example "that yellow house we passed was...., or "behind us, that was a statue representing....." We were English speaking so we were always looking behind us to try to see what it was. I think the points of interest toured were probably fine if we had been able to hear what they were as we were seeing them. Although should note, we did not see the cemetery or the Eva Perone monument. I would recommend using a different tour company since city tours are abundant

No really a walking tour more a bus tout

Michael_B, Jan 2024

The stop at Caminito was memorable. The excursion was spoilt somewhat by the late arrival at the pick up point (20 minutes) with no contact. The guide was very pleasant but hard to hear.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi Michael, thank you for posting a review. This is not a walking tour. The tour is carried out on a van. There is a tolerance of 35 minutes from the time set and we advise it at time of confirming the service and in our product. So 20 minutes is within the stipulated time. Cordially, Carlos.

Great tour

Gareth_D, Nov 2023

Really interesting trip. Florencia the guide was incredible, really looked after every member of the group, encouraged questions and answered them fully and openly. The driver was great and the photographer was lovely. Highly recommended.

Super experience. Would highly recommend to any and all.

DOUGLAS_H, Oct 2023

Tour guide was very knowledgeable about not only Buenos Aires, but also Argentina. And he expressed this knowledge in several different languages. For me, best tour highlights included Recoleta, Plaza de Mayo and La Boca. Kudos to all.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Great experience

Jennifer_W, Mar 2023

Slightly late pick up but I expected that with the crazy traffic in Buenos Aires. Very enjoyable afternoon. Had a small group of only five people. Sophie was a great guide.

Short city tour of Buenos Aires

Philip_R, Mar 2023

Quick tour of the main sites of Buenos Aires, having been previously a few years ago. The tour met our objective, although it was difficult to follow the guide’s presentation at times as she was constantly switching between English and Spanish. We thought we had booked an English only tour. La Boca was the highlight of the trip.

Not a tour for English only folks :(

rxrph, Mar 2023

Nice to see city BUT we were the only 2 English speakers on the tour. Guide did a good job switching from Spanish to English to include us but I felt we were not given as much info as an English only tour (which is what I thought this would be) would have conveyed. Would tune out the guide during spanish and then realize she had switched to English. Example: Brought to small shop, cafe and bathroom in Boca. Didn't not see the colorful homes, mannequins from the balconies because we were not given the info and so we didn't leave the shop/cafe. Luckily, we saw it later on our main tour. Like a sightseeing bus, passing by places but learning little about what you are seeing.

Great Tour and Worth the Money

Kristee_S, Mar 2023

The booking process and pickup went very smooth. The minibus was clean and well maintained. We were able to see many different areas and learned a lot of history. The driver and the guide were very helpful and made it an enjoyable tour. The price was reasonable and would recommend this to anyone who has half a day and wants to see a lot of Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires City Tour—good tour but hour shorter than advertised

Ricardo_F, Mar 2023

Good way to see the neighborhoods. The tour was advertised as a 4 1/2 hour tour. However, it was a 3 1/2 hour tour from the point of hotel pickup which occurred close to 3pm despite the 2:30 pickup time. (The delay was absolutely fine as the van cannot be at each hotel exactly at 2:30). The tour ended at 6pm. We expected another hour.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hi, Ricardo thank you for posting a review about our Small-group Buenos Aires City Tour. Your opinion is important to us and will certainly help other travelers.

Great intro to the city

Michael_S, Mar 2023

Pick up was on time and the team were really lovely and passionate about the tour and city. The tour gives you a good feel for the city and places you can revisit afterwards if you want to spend more time etc. The only suggestion to improve would be to stick to one language. The guide was constantly switching from English to Spanish and it just became too difficult to retain anything she said. Either it’s all English or Spanish and then you absorb in what they are saying. I don’t know their business of course whether that’s possible but that’s just how I felt :)

City tour

Nancy_C, Mar 2023

Enjoyed all the history our guide shared. The coach was comfortable and we saw many parts of the city, some close up, some from the coach. We had adequate time to explore, usually. and ended the tour with the option of staying at a restaurant area or going back to our hotel. I found it difficult to catch when the guide switched from Argentinian to English sometimes and felt bad that she had to say everything twice but with only five English speaking passengers she didn't have any choice.
