Great experience! - From the beginning it was great. Transportation on time Comfortable seats Visited all the places and more, described in this tour Gave us the necessary time to take pictures and historical explanations of each visited place. The tour guide, Hernan and his driver are so patient, respectful and great sense of humor. I got a knee replacement six months ago, they gave me time and helped me getting in and out of the bus. We bought the tour with lunch included, Hernan was reminding us to choose what we would like to eat. We got to the hotel on time. It was a great experience. I will take any tour with Trip Advisor and having Hernan as our tour guide. Thank you so much for this great experience!!

Lots to see - My tour guide was Micaela and she was great! The driver drove safely. One thing to note, Recoleta Cemetery is not included in the tour, but you can end the tour there if you want. If you don't include the snack when you purchase admission ticket but you decide you want to later, you can order and pay at the restaurant. A lot of the stops listed on this tour are "drive by" stops, including the Floralis Generica, so there isn't very much walking and/or standing.

You get allot for 5 hours - It seems like it's not enough but you surly get allot of information and the most importante sights in Buenos Aires. The guide gave good and concise information and it makes you eager to learn more about the rich history and culture of the city. Only improvement point is for the driver to slow down a bit at some sights that will make it easier to get take some photos.

Good superficial intro to city of BA - Tour started 30 minutes late and finished 30 minutes sooner so truly a 4 hour tour. Some spots had way too long time while others rushed. Title of tour “walking tour “ bit misleading although pleasant surprise to have a bus to hop off and on instead of walking entire time. Guide - Franco was very friendly and informative.

The tour wasnt too bad,... - The tour wasnt too bad, the guide knew a lot about the city. The only downfall of the tour was that everyone was pressured into going on the "Navigation" of which wasnt part of the tour. Eventually all bar 2 people agreed to do this at the additional cost, of which the actual trip on the Navigation was less than poor. No information about it, ssentially just a tour through a dirty river in an industrial area that ends up at the yacht club. This was by far the worst part of any tour that I did during our stay in Buenos Aires.
