Our 25th Anniversary Vacation in Argentina
We found Say Hueque while researching for our Argentina trip. I am a "DIY" person but all the reviews encouraged me to contact them. Mery was a gem of a travel consultant. Between my reseach and her knowledge we were able to close an itenary suitable for us. Appreciate her patience while interacting with me. For the domestic airline ticketing I used their services for booking on Aerolineas. For some reason these tickets were not available in India. Once the booking was completed we were assigned a dedicated support person "Andrea". She ensured we had all the right documents before the trip, adviced us were we could exchange currency near our hotel etc. She was always availble to clarify any doubts I had for the trip. We were able to appreciate the support when we missed our connecting flight to Buenos Aires. I informed Andrea about the delay and she ensured our pickup car was aware of the changed schedule, the hotel was also informed and she rescheduled our Half day food walk of Palermo Soho to an afternoon slot. During our trip there was a possibility of Airport staff strike and she kept us informed. Luckily the strike got cancelled. And then we had the 24x7 support WhatsApp channel. It felt so nice to have a support system in a foreign country. We used multiple times when we were not able to find our pickup driver or when the airline changed our flights. I really would like to appreciate Team Say Hueque for helping me plan this trip which was not too hectic and allowed us to explore multiple locations at our own pace with only good memories at the end of this lovely 2 week vacation.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. We are truly glad to hear that the planning process felt collaborative and that the final itinerary matched your travel style so well. It is great to know the support before and during the trip made a difference, especially when unexpected changes came up. Being able to adapt quickly and keep everything running smoothly is a key part of what we aim to provide, and we are pleased this helped you travel with peace of mind. We are also happy to hear the tools and 24/7 assistance were useful throughout your journey. Having that level of support can make exploring a new destination much more comfortable. Thank you again for your kind words. We are delighted your trip resulted in such positive memories and hope to assist you again in the future. Warm regards

I fell in love with Argentina
Deyvis was amazing. Initially asked what I want to see in Argentina. And moulded my tour for me Iguassu both sides. Hotel was fabulous. Ushuaia hiking and boat ride fabulous. Four days. El calafete four days, the glacier, boat ride, and then to a ranch. Horse riding. Barbecue. Back to BA. Always pick up at the airport and shuttle to and from exquisite hotels. Enough downtime where I could rest and do whatever I wanted to do. The four days in Mendoza and the two wine tours and cooking class were exquisite. My guide Juan Martin had exceptional English and history of the Mendoza and Argentine regions. Deyvis always connected with me to make sure everything went well. Even if I struggled with communication. Highly recommend them. The organized dinners and the tango show in BA were exquisite. Was able to learn everything about this magnificent country.

Very helpful and wonderful tour.
The people at Say Hueque were wonderful to work with. They put together an itinerary that took us to many highlights of Argentina. When we had problems with delayed flights to Argentina at the beginning of our tour, they worked out fixes for us so we got to do most of the things we had planned. They were always pleasant and helpful.

Argentina Highlights in 12 days: Buenos Aires, Southern Patagonia & Iguazu Falls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Argentina Highlights in 12 days: Buenos Aires, Southern Patagonia & Iguazu Falls cost?
+
Prices start at $2,945 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Buenos Aires usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Argentina Highlights in 12 days: Buenos Aires, Southern Patagonia & Iguazu Falls take?
+
Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Buenos Aires is not rushed.
Is Argentina Highlights in 12 days: Buenos Aires, Southern Patagonia & Iguazu Falls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Argentina Highlights in 12 days: Buenos Aires, Southern Patagonia & Iguazu Falls?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Argentina Highlights in 12 days: Buenos Aires, Southern Patagonia & Iguazu Falls suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Argentina Highlights in 12 days: Buenos Aires, Southern Patagonia & Iguazu Falls?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Buenos Aires can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Argentina Highlights in 12 days: Buenos Aires, Southern Patagonia & Iguazu Falls start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Buenos Aires within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Buenos Aires?
+
On Outty we rank every Buenos Aires experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Argentine Cooking, Wine & Beef Tasting at Argentine Experience, Historical Sherpa Food Tour of San Telmo with Street Food, Drinks, Cooking Class with Empanadas Steak & Flan by Argentine Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
