- Dear Passenger, If you have a confirmed reservation and wish to change the duration of your ticket, we request that you first cancel the current reservation and then generate a new one. This is necessary because the QR code is automatically issued with each new reservation and if you modify your existing one, you will not receive the updated QR.
- If you have a confirmed reservation and wish to add more passengers, we kindly ask that you make a new reservation for the additional people instead of modifying the existing one. This is necessary because the QR code is automatically generated with each reservation. If the original reservation is modified, the QR code will not update to reflect the new number of passengers.
- The walking tour is a free and optional activity that operates on a voluntary payment system for the guide. To reconfirm the schedule for each tour, please contact the guide on board the bus. To participate, you must arrive at the corresponding stop. It is subject to weather and operating conditions. No refund will be issued if the tour is not taken.
- Important notice: Due to public works and associated road closures, bus stops 16 (Costanera Norte), 17 (Monumento Cristóbal Colón), and 18 (Parque de la Memoria) are suspended indefinitely. These stops will resume service once traffic returns to normal in the area.
- To use and validate your ticket, you must download the 'Buenos Aires City Bus' app to your mobile device, available on Google Play and the App Store. Once downloaded, enter your reservation number to obtain the corresponding QR codes (one per person). These QR codes serve as your access tickets and must be presented when boarding the bus.
- We recommend downloading the app in advance and connecting to a Wi-Fi network to pre-download the audio guide and map. This way, you can use its main features during your tour of the city, even without an internet connection.
- From the app, you can also check the real-time location of the buses, access information on all stops, and listen to the audio guide, available directly in the app. Remember to bring your own headphones, as the audio guide will play from your mobile device through the app.

Great option if short on time
Very convenient and safe way to see a lot in a short time frame. The walking tours are awesome and the flexibility is great too!

Walking tours aren't in English
We were excited for the walking tours and were extremely disappointed to find out they were only in Spanish . The girl selling the tickets did not mention this at all despite speaking English as we navigated buying the tickets

Let down by Buenos Aires Red Bus Hop on Hop off Tour
Please do not use Gray Line Red Bus hop on hop off in Buenos Aires. We purchased a 72 hour ticket today 15/10/26 and our day was wasted. I requested a tour map at the start kiosk and was advised a map was available on the bus. There were no maps available on the bus! The whole purpose of the trip was to familiarise ourselves with Buenos Aires geographically using a map and the numbered stops and then further explore on subsequent days. So having been given false information we have wasted a day. We have requested a refund for the remaining two days. However the Yellow hop on hop off bus have already given us a map at their start kiosk. So we recommend the yellow bus route. We have used Hop on Hop off buses in a number of other cities around the world and have never previously encountered a problem so are very disappointed in Gray Line Red bus service today.

Buenos Aires Hop-On Hop-Off Bus, Free Walking Tours & Discounts: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Buenos Aires Hop-On Hop-Off Bus, Free Walking Tours & Discounts cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Hop-On Hop-Off Bus, Free Walking Tours & Discounts take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Hop-On Hop-Off Bus, Free Walking Tours & Discounts worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 3,097 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Buenos Aires Hop-On Hop-Off Bus, Free Walking Tours & Discounts?
+
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 Hop-On Hop-Off Bus, Free Walking Tours & Discounts suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Buenos Aires Hop-On Hop-Off Bus, Free Walking Tours & Discounts?
+
Around 1,084 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Buenos Aires Hop-On Hop-Off Bus, Free Walking Tours & Discounts 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.
