    Good city tour experience!

    Andres knows Buenos Aires very well, and the tour offered detailed explanations that helped us learn more about Argentina. I am grateful to Andres for his kindness and for guiding us through the entire tour. If you are reading this and considering Andres as your tour guide, you will definitely not regret it.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much! I really enjoyed the day with you guys! You are a very nice and funny group of friend!! Andres

    Like a friend showing us her hometown

    Lourdes took our family on a lovely tour of the city, highlighting several of the iconic historical structures and cultural centers. She did a great job communicating with English speakers and she was very kind and patient answering all of our questions about the city and culture. We all enjoyed lunch together at the Mercado San Telmo having delicious classics like choripan and empanadas. It felt like having a friend showing us around her hometown. We’re so grateful to Lourdes for being our family’s guide through this unique and fantastic city. It’s a trip we’ll be remembering for years to come.

    Response from the operator: Such a lovely review! People like you make us to love our job!! Lourdes is a very good tour guide and a nice person, thank you so much for your kind words to her!!! Warm regards, Andres

    Personalized tours made our visit more memorable

    We used Andres to tour Buenos Aires for a private day tour. He was friendly and made sure that we got to see the highlights of this beautiful city and learn about Argentina’s history. Most importantly he took the time to get to know us and personalized the tour to our interests that made our tour more special. And Andres was flexible to handle a personal situation, and we appreciated his assistance to get this resolved. We also used his associate Brenda for an art tour of Buenos Aires. An artist herself, she showed us sights that we would have not visited , including tiled houses street of Pasaje Lanin where we met with the artist himself! It’s these kinds of connections that made our private tours of BA even more memorable!

    Great tour if you have just one day in Buenos Aires!

    Communication with Andres was so easy. We made several changes and it was never a problem. Our guide Lourdes was knowledgeable and friendly. Our driver was terrific. Lourdes sat with us in van so we could all hear her! She made great suggestions for lunch and snacks. We saw so much in one day. We all want to return and spend more time in Buenos Aires now.

    Buenos Aires Private City Tour by Private Van: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.

    How much does Buenos Aires Private City Tour by Private Van cost?

    +

    Prices start at $220 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 Private City Tour by Private Van take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Private City Tour by Private Van worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 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 Private City Tour by Private Van?

    +

    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 Private City Tour by Private Van suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Buenos Aires Private City Tour by Private Van?

    +

    Around 6 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Buenos Aires Private City Tour by Private Van 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 Private City Tour by Private Van?
