Highlights

Buenos Aires City Tour & Tigre Delta Half-day Tour

Buenos Aires - Meet your guide at your downtown hotel or, if you’re outside the pickup area, at a central meeting point. Once everyone is together, your amazing day begins.

Retiro - Your Buenos Aires coach tour starts in the Retiro neighborhood. Relax in your comfortable seat as you pass by the city’s top landmarks and popular neighborhoods.

Palermo - Visit Palermo, one of the city’s largest districts, and drive through Palermo Woods. This is the city’s largest park and home to attractions like the Eco Park (formerly the Zoo), Plaza Italia, and the Galileo Galilei Planetarium.

Recoleta - Arrive in Recoleta, one of the city’s most exclusive neighborhoods, known for the Recoleta Cemetery (where Eva Peron is buried), elegant shops, and open-air cafes.

Avenida 9 De Julio - The world’s widest avenue. Next, see Teatro Colón, a stunning opera house built between 1889 and 1908. The theater is near Plaza de la República on Avenida 9 de Julio, where you can view the Obelisco de Buenos Aires, a 1936 monument honoring the city’s foundation.

Plaza de Mayo - Visit Plaza de Mayo, the political heart of Buenos Aires, home to Casa Rosada, the Argentine president’s official office. Take photos of the iconic pink building and explore nearby sights like the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Cabildo (town hall).

San Telmo - Explore San Telmo, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, famous for its well-preserved colonial architecture. Visit attractions like Dorrego Square, where you might catch spontaneous tango performances—San Telmo is the heart of tango in Buenos Aires.

Caminito - Head to La Boca, Buenos Aires’ most colorful neighborhood, where a European vibe persists thanks to Italian immigrants. The district is famous for the brightly painted buildings on Caminito, the main pedestrian street where you can stroll and see local artists selling their work.

Puerto Madero - Continue to Puerto Madero, one of the city’s most modern neighborhoods. This revamped dockside area is popular with tourists and business lunchers. Don’t miss the famous “Puente de la Mujer” by Calatrava.

San Isidro - After the city tour, the bus will drop you off in central Buenos Aires to meet your guide for the Tigre Delta Tour. Board a bus and drive along Costanera Avenue to San Isidro. See its cathedral and the many mansions of old aristocratic families before heading to Tigre.

Tigre - Board a catamaran for a 40-minute cruise through the delta. Observe how people live on the islands and interact with floating services like the supermarket boat and water taxi. See homes built on stilts. After the boat ride, return to your coach for the drive back to Buenos Aires, where your tour ends downtown.

Gaucho Day Trip to Santa Susana Ranch

Buenos Aires - Depart Buenos Aires in a comfortable coach for a scenic ride through the Argentine pampas (plains) to Estancia Santa Susana in Los Cardales.

Estancia Santa Susana - Your gaucho adventure begins with a warm welcome at the ranch pub with empanadas and wine. Tour Santa Susana’s attractions, including its museum and church, before enjoying a horse-drawn carriage ride around the ranch. Back at the ranch, savor a delicious parrillada lunch featuring grilled specialties like sausages and chicken, along with salad and beverages (red and white wine, soda, water, and coffee). Then, sip on mate (an Argentine drink made from yerba mate leaves steeped in hot water) and finish with a pastelito (pastry)! During lunch, enjoy a tango and folk show with classical music and dance, and watch an exciting boleadoras show, featuring throwing weapons used by gauchos. After lunch, the real entertainment begins as the gauchos demonstrate their impressive ranch skills. Be amazed by a ring race (la sortija), animal herding, and the cuadreras race, a traditional gaucho game.

Buenos Aires - After your fun-filled day at the ranch, you’ll be driven back to Buenos Aires.

A wonderful tour. Great break from... - <p>A wonderful tour. Great break from the city. They have made a museum of the home and chapel, which gives you a feel for the earlier life. Great lunch with a fun floor show. Then we adjourned to stables and watched the Gauchos perform. The oldest Gaucho has worked for the family over 60 yrs.</p>

This tour is a rip off . Do not go... - <p>This tour is a rip off . Do not go . We never went into Recoleta cemetery , we passed in front , why would anyone go to Buenos Aires and not visit Eva Peron tomb . We had no time again to do same , thinking we would have seen it on this tour . This tour was just zooming pass land marks . No good . Secondly the Tigre Delta is the biggest rip off I have ever seen . What you saw and boarded was a taxi , there was nothing touristy about this trip . You got a ride on a water taxi that picked up passengers and saw the houses along the river . Absolutely nothing exciting about this tour . Do not waste your money .</p>
