★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,946 reviews · 3 - 5 hours · from $38Our pick

See Buenos Aires in three to five hours, from Plaza de Mayo and San Telmo to La Boca, Puerto Madero, Retiro, and Recoleta.

“We enjoyed this tour. Given its short duration of only 3 hours, time spent at each stop was minimal and most information/explanation was surface-level. Though lacking depth, we did find the tour to be a good overview for deciding what we wanted to go back and explore more on our own. Our tour guide did seem very knowledgeable when asked questions, he was very polite and personable, and his English was excellent so communication was easy and effective. The vehicle was well-maintained and clean, and the driving felt very safe.”

“There was actually nothing wrong with the tour which gave us a good overview of the city. I booked this and another tour with Viaror and both times it said hotel pickup in Recoleta and downtown but on this occasion although we were in Recoleta we had to go to their office which rather defeated the main reason we booked this. As we are two older ladies on our first trip to Buenos Aries we found this a bit misleading and there seems no way to check if we would get a pickup until after wed paid.”
