Avoid this company
Avoid this company at all costs. The buses are very old. Once you get off, you wait forever before you can get back on. On top of that, the audio doesn't work properly, and you constantly have to switch buses because something isn't working or is broken. It's also extremely expensive.

A good way to see BA
It was ok - a convenient way to see key tourist sights in BA. The live tracker wasn't very accurate, and the English narration didn't work on one of the buses we got. Not sure how genuine some of the other receivs are, as I have no idea how they know the names of the driver and conductor - it is we all quite automated

Had a very good experience
We chose the 3 day option because we felt there was so much to see. On day one we road the whole 3 hour trip and only made notes of where we wanted to get off. We started in Recolletta stop 0 and ended there. Then walked to the cemetery. Day two we got off on three separate stops and day 3 we did the same, 3 different stops. We speak English and the ear buds worked perfectly whenever an announcement about a particular area was spoken. It was cold, but there is an enclosed heated area upstairs. Booked thru trip advisor to get a very large discount.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and found the audio guide useful. We hope to welcome you back soon to discover even more of Buenos Aires!

Good value, good experience, but confusing signage
I enjoyed the yellow Buenos Aires Hop On-Hop Off bus. I did the entire loop without getting off the first day and part of the loop the second day. I think it is quite a good way to get an overview of the city and a good value. The start of my experience was quite frustrating. I took the Buquebus from Montevideo and walked to the nearby stop. There was a clear sign for yellow bus, red bus and river cruises. I waited there 15 minutes for the bus, monitoring the online app for locations of nearby buses. I saw a yellow bus park a ways off in the distance across a bridge. When it came towards where I was, I tried waving it down but it did not stop. Turns out that the first stop is simply an old incorrect sign. Given that it is near the first place many tourists will arrive for the first time on Buquebus, they should really remove or replace it or at least cover up the yellow bus portion to avoid confusion. Or if not, the busses could stop when they see people waiting there incorrectly. As it was I needed to wait another 20 minutes for another bus. Not a great start to the experience. I enjoyed the audio guide. It had nice snippets of good Argentinian music as well as useful commentary. However, it would often cut off what was being said. I am assuming this happens when the bus goes faster than expected and moves onto the next site quickly. Then there would be long periods stopped where it was just playing music. It would be nice if there was an online version of the audio guide where passengers could control more what was being played and go back and play the entire content if desired.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience and for your positive comments about our service and audio guide. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the stop and the issues with the audio guide. We truly appreciate your feedback, which helps us improve our service. We hope to welcome you again in Buenos Aires!

Impossible to get on a bus on weekend afternoons because they will all be full
This is supposed to be a hop-on-hop-off service. In reality, on a weekend, that works until noon, or at most 2PM. After that, you can certainly hop off, but hopping on... Not so much. Why? Because every bus that pulls up to your stop will be full. Especially if you're in a party of 3 or more, you may have to let 4-5 buses go by before you can get on one. That's a wait of an hour and a half. If you want to spend your afternoon waiting at their bus stops, this is the tour for you. If not, look elsewhere. In our case, we ended up Ubering for the rest of the afternoon. For that, a USD 30-per-person ticket to just get you to your first one or two sightseeing stops of the day seems like a colossal waste of money.
Response from the operator: We are very sorry to hear about your experience. What happened does not reflect the level of service we strive to provide. Our buses operate every 15 minutes, and the last service departs from Stop 00 at 5:00 p.m., completing the full route. We will look into what happened that particular day to understand the situation and take the necessary steps to prevent it from happening again. We would also like to invite you to contact us directly on your next visit to Buenos Aires. It would be our pleasure to welcome you and give you the opportunity to experience the true Buenos Aires Bus service.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Buenos Aires Bus Hop On-Hop Off and Exclusive Benefits: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Buenos Aires Bus Hop On-Hop Off and Exclusive Benefits cost?
+
Prices start at $37 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 Buenos Aires Bus Hop On-Hop Off and Exclusive Benefits take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Buenos Aires Bus Hop On-Hop Off and Exclusive Benefits worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 246 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 Buenos Aires Bus Hop On-Hop Off and Exclusive Benefits?
+
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 Buenos Aires Bus Hop On-Hop Off and Exclusive Benefits suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Buenos Aires Bus Hop On-Hop Off and Exclusive Benefits?
+
Around 86 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Buenos Aires Bus Hop On-Hop Off and Exclusive Benefits 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.
What is included in Buenos Aires Bus Hop On-Hop Off and Exclusive Benefits?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning; Benefits passport; Guided audio in 9 languages and accompanying guide on board; and Panoramic buses. Not included: Meals; and In and Out to hotels. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
