Customer Reviews
5 hour guided tour of Buenos Aires. Guide was Veronica & driver was Jorge. This was superb! We landed at 5.30am & were picked up at 9am sharp. We boldly booked this tour to maximise our few days in this beautiful city of contrasts. The stops were well planned, felt well-timed (never rushed) & we had enough but never too much information. Plaza de Mayo & the Cathedral were a delight. La Boca was fun (even for those of us not into football!) La Camenita was a colourful joy - local artists, fun street scenes & the waterfront too. I loved our empanada cafe lunch, & glass of Malbec set that off very nicely indeed. The afternoon was a lovely mix - Floralis Generica (the striking metal flower statue in a park), the modern bridge on the river, Puerto Madero (good to see the river & green areas - I wish I'd had more days to visit there properly), smart Palermo, Centro.....all such contrasts. I loved the huge bookshop set in a beautiful old theatre. I'll have missed some things out, but this was a lovely day & highlighted areas to revisit too. We went on our own later that afternoon to Recoleta Cemetery to see Eva Peron's grave - well worth a short visit after seeing the gates to the cemetery on the tour. Thank you for a wonderful day!
Fantastic day out - it was a semi-private tour with only 3 of us which was great. Our guide, Pablo, was excellent - a wealth of knowledge and a great communicator. The ranch experience was great - horse riding, followed by a massive asado lunch, folk singing and dancing, and a gaucho horse whispering demonstration. It was well organized and a thoroughly enjoyable day out!
It was a lovely day out and very relaxing. Nice to sit under a beautiful tree and eat good food and chat with other travellers. The horse ride was brief but the folk dancing and horse whispering were great. Probably one of the best empanadas I've ever had. Emelia our guide was excellent.
