Excellent

Ayman_H, Mar 2024

River tour and all towns and market was great , the your guide was well informed and highly knoweldgable , Sylvia was great

Our guide was not very...

Virginia_N, Jan 2024

Our guide was not very attentive while on the cruise (I learned more from other guides). He was fine when we were off the boat. We did walk much more than we had expected. The lunch (chicken) was very dry. We also expected to be on a train not a commuter rail. Most of us had to stand almost the whole way from San Isidro to the Buenos Aires station.

Fabulous Delta Tigre

Lynn_W, Jan 2024

The BA Delta Tigre experience exceeded expectations! Beautiful cruise on river, cruise into small delta with small homes and beautiful tropical scenery. Walked 6 miles all around diff parts of the city with stop at ice cream /patisserie. Had our own tour guide for four people. Experienced Argentina Train Travel with beautiful Mitre station. Lunch included- with delicious Argentina coffee! Exceptional time. Highly recommend.

Badly planned trip

Janine_A, May 2023

The river cruise part is great, but unfortunately it goes down hill from there. Lunch is supposed to be at a riverside restaurant sitting looking at the river enjoying the sunshine and a restful lunch. Instead you are either inside a very dark small restaurant or out the back on a side street nowhere need the river. Then you walk to the market (right past the train that you need to take later in the day) where you walk around the few stalls that are open in a few minutes. There is not time allocated to look around. Then you walk all the way back to the restaurant/river area to walk the opposite direction and cross the river. You then walk for miles to see a museum that is closed, and even if it was open you don't have time to go in. Then you walk all the way back to cross the river and go back almost to the market to catch the train. Our tour guide Ariel was fine, but such a badly planned out tour. After you get off the first train, or go to the cathedral, a cafe for a coffee and then walk again through a really interesting suburb of shops, but again no time to spend there looking around. Onto the last train which drops you about 30 minutes by taxi, from the city centre. You cant use the subway as you don't have a metro card and using the bus system when you don't know directions, or the language is not viable. All around a disappointing day. Tigre is lovely if you are not backtracking, and the boat ride is great. The rest is not good.

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Janine, We are truly sorry if the tour didn't meet your expectations. The tour goal is to know the city of Tigre which has different tourist attractions to enjoy. We are sorry that you had little time to get to know our beautiful city. We will consider your comment in order to improve our service. Moreover, we would like to specify that the drop off of the tour is at Belgrano C Station because our Retiro station is closed since January. We have designated this last point as the end because it's the nearest one to Chinatown, which is a very tourist spot so that you can continue to enjoy Buenos Aires. In addition to your comment of our public transport system, in order to take a bus, the train or the subway you need a card called ''sube'', it's personal and rechargeable. We apologize if this situation has caused you problems, it is the method that has to be used for transport in our city. At last, we wanted to thank you for writing to us, it helps us to improve. Thanks for choosing us. Tangol Team.

All day Tigre Tour

Augusto_R, Feb 2023

We would recommend the cruise, it was enjoyable trip along the riverfront to the estuary of the river Plate. We would have given it 3.5 to 4 but we had a guide who did not add much to our tour. There was on board tour announcement but our guide kept too much to herself and provided very little additional tour information like the other guides to their guests. Essentially we had a guide who met us told us where to go, bought our tickets, but very little else. We had other tours that provided much more colour. Perhaps she was new or was shy to speak English.

For something different and fun

Donald_M, Feb 2023

The boat ride was very nice and gave insight into how people in that area live. The town of Tigre was good although there isn't much to see. My tour guide Oliver was very informative and personable. I would recommend this as something different from the run of the mill city tour.

Great way to see outside of downtown Buenos Aires!

Monica_M, Dec 2022

A fantastic excursion! My husband, I and two friends were met at the pier by our guide, Alejandra. She was excellent - she told us may interesting pieces of information throughout the day, including where to sit for the best views. The boat ride was interesting, lunch was delicious, and the train ride gave us a peek into real life in Buenos Aires. I would highly recommend this tour!

A wonderful day!

Lucinda W, Jan 2020

Great experience, all around. Allesandra was informative and pleasant to learn about the delta Tigre and its inhabitants and history. Gave us a lot of great information and set a pace we could enjoy the entire day long! Another wonderful day in Buenos Aires!

Response from Host, Jun 2020

Dear Lucinda, Thank you for your review! We are happy to know that the tour guide was great! See you in the next visit! Tangol.

Excursion originale à faire

Philippe_J, Jan 2024

Une guide avec nous durant toute la journée avec des explications sur chaque quartier. Un bon rapport qualité prix

Nature sauvage habitée

bzvxdsdd8n, Nov 2023

Belle journée ensoleillée à se promener en bateaux à travers les canaux luxuriants du Tigré. Exotique pour un canadien, voir ces constructions sur pilotis avec aucun accès terrestre.

Journée parfaite avec un excellent guide

Daniel_C, Dec 2022

Très belle journée avec un guide compétent et sympathique. Il a même été capable de nous parler un peu en français même si l’activité devait se faire en anglais. Les endroits visités étaient magnifiques et les explications de Carlos appropriées. Le repas et la collation fournies étaient excellents. Le retour en train a été intéressant car il a permis de côtoyer les habitants de Buenos Aires
