Small-group day trip from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento. Ferry, guided Old Town, and free time for lunch and shopping.

Private Iguazu Falls day trip from Buenos Aires with flights, guide, and park tickets. See Devil’s Throat and the Circuito Inferior.
“Tangol Tour arranged our day. Picked up at hotel at 6:30 AM, dropped off at downtown airport. Due to last minute change, some confusion for pickup time & flight info. 1 1/2 hr flight from Buenos Aries to Iguazu. Our private tour guide Alex met us at the airport. Can’t say enough good about him. We experienced in 6 hrs what generally takes a full day in the park. He was aggressive getting us on train & boat ride under San Martins falls, which was a great experience, but you do get drenched! We did the train to Devils Throat hike, hiked the Upper Falls trail, had a buffet lunch,…”

Private Iguazu Falls day trip from Buenos Aires with a Spanish or English guide, flights, transfers, and UNESCO park catwalk views.
“The tour was amazing. I had some difficulty checking with the airline. Otherwise, the day went smoothly. The views were beyond beautiful and I will remember the day for a lifetime. My guide was experienced and knowledgeable. She shared many details on the wildlife, foliage, history, and people. By having a personal guide, I could go through the park at a comfortable pace, not worrying about holding others up if I wanted to take a break. The airfare made the trip pricey, but it was worth it.”

“Our visit to Iguazu was seemless. The pickup driver was at the hotel at 430 am to take us to the airport for a 615 am flight. The local guide Emmanual was absolutely amazing. He was fun, super knowledgeable, and was like having our own photographer. His English was terrific. We had plenty of time to go on all 3 pathways. We saw alot of wildlife including many birds, coati, monkeys. We arrived back in Buenas Aires at 1130pm and the same driver was there ready for us. A not to miss experience.”

Our Tour Guide met us at the airport and took us directly to the Falls. She was very informative on every site that we visited in the park. The falls are amazing, incredible!

She also contacted the driver who was supposed to pick us…”
