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 :).”

“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.”

“If you like good vibes on a boat, this is for you. Really comfortable ride, had some wine and Mate with some great people on our boat. This isn’t a true “tour” of the islands but it’s great if you’re looking for a break from the city in a serene spot.”
Review of Buenos Aires’ Tigre Delta tour, with boat cruise, Puerto de Frutos, museums, transport, guide quality, value, and Monday tips.
“We were told by the first guide that there was a snack bar in the boat, nothing. The toilet no soap or hand towel. We couldn’t hear the commentary. The stop at the fruit market was too short 30 mins, we stopped for a coffee & beers as there was nothing on the boat and had to leave before they arrived. Our guide was changed half way. The second guide was very informative. We liked the content of the tour. Very interesting.”

“BEST TOUR!!! Our captain and guide were the most wonderful father son duo who expertly cruised us around Rio de la Plata and more. They pointed out different animal and plant species and took us to lunch off the beaten path at a fantastic family run local restaurant where we had incredible empanadas, and even had an impromptu tango lesson! A truly beautiful day, spent with wonderful people. A MUST DO when visiting Buenos Aires! 10/10”
