“Tigre tour - It has been the highlight of our first few days in Buenos Aires. Nicolas did a wonderful job showing us the hidden delta. He is so genuine and you can tell he loves showing visitors the quieter side, away from the city. I can’t forget our lunch that he had prepared for us as it was amazing! You can’t go wrong booking this tour with Nicolas.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-30

“Great tour and great guide! - We went out with Lautaro and had the BEST time!! We saw all kinds of animals, beautiful nature and Lautaro was the perfect guide. He taught us all about the river and the island people. He is even a 2nd generation tour guide! He knows the river well and we got to wade in the water. The tour was affordable and a private trip down the river was well worth the price.” - Reviewed on 2024-12-12
