“the timing to experience the sunset could be improved”
Cruise five rivers in Argentina’s Tigre Delta, see island homes and schools, and enjoy a one-hour panoramic boat ride for $18.
“The boat was on time. It was nice that the deck had enough space for all the passengers and provided good views. Unfortunately it wasn't a very scenic boat trip - this trip is basically going past hundreds of houses that look like they're about to flood and Tigre is an ugly, brown river. In terms of logistics everything was fine, but I don't think it's a great tourist attraction :).”
Cruise from Buenos Aires to Tigre through the Río de la Plata and Paraná Delta, with free time for lunch, parks, and river views.
“The lady guide was non -professional. She could have told me in the very beginning that I am not part of her private tour. That's why it was surprising to me when found out that I won't be allowed to enter the van and visit the town! It's been frustrating anyway cause others looked at me as I were an alien ! Anyway, you could have told me before the trip begins ! On the other hand, the Naval crew was awesome!”
Cruise from Buenos Aires through the Paraná Delta to Tigre, then tour Puerto de Frutos with guides, free time, and return bus transport.
“It gets interesting while in the “canals” of the river because there isn’t much to see prior to that. The audio is not synced on the boat when providing descriptions which makes it pointless. I wish we had more time in Puerto Frutos because you can’t do much in 30mn… also the boat is only a one way trip, bus for the other way, which should be better described. Nice excursion otherwise.”

“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!”
