Cruise Puerto Madero to Tigre through the Río de la Plata and Paraná Delta, with panoramic views and time to explore Tigre’s waterfront.
“The boat ride is relaxing. History was explained along various points. We were given some time in Tigre to wander around. That's when you can grub on eateries and have a few brews. The ride back was even better as I sat on the upper deck, wind hitting me clean, enjoying the sunset.”
Catamaran cruise from Puerto Madero through the Paraná Delta to Tigre, with guided bus sights and free time at Puerto de Frutos shopping.
“Picked up from the hotel on time. Guide was informative on the journey to the port. Sit on the left hand side of the boat, as for the first hour the views are of the coastline. Once the boat gets into the delta the scenery changes, wasn't expecting so many houses and such a community. All very interesting. The trip states that 'snacks' are provided, this consisted of a small coffee and a small pre pack muffin. Boat trip takes about 2 hours. In Tigre we were given about an hour to wander around the markets, but very little of interest to see or buy. There were a few places…”

Relaxing on the boat with great food, wine and a nice breeze was the perfect way to unwind after a long day of travel. Miriam and Pepe are extremely accommodating and knowledgeable - she had a lot of great suggestions on things to do in the city, local places to eat, etc. Highly recommend!”

“Santiago was a wonderful and charming host! We had a lovely evening spent sailing and learning about local wines. The charcuterie board was much more than we expected, especially with the addition of freshly made empanadas. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to have a local adventure outside of the typical city sights. It was truly a prefect evening!”

Private door-to-door transfer from Buenos Aires airport or cruise terminal to downtown hotels, with meet and greet and Spanish-speaking drivers.
“THIS is how it is supposed to work. The last transfer I booked through Viator (with a different provider) turned out to be just a taxi. No one waiting for me with a sign or anything. I had you walk outside and track them down. But this one turned out to be just as described. A clean car, friendly driver, waited for me inside, and even waited until I got inside my airbnb since it was late at night. Wonderful.”

“This private tour was the perfect way to see Buenos Aires in one day. Pablo was waiting for us at the airport, took us to sites such as la Boca, San Telmo, the Casa Rosda, the Obelisk, Recoleta, to our hotel, and even dropped us off for dinner in Palermo. Pablo was courteous, respectful, knowledgeable, and responsive to all of our requests. More like a friend showing us around his city, at our pace. Highly recommend this tour!”
