Very comprehensive small group tour.
Sofia was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable in her history of Buenos Aries. We enjoyed the sites and the stop at the Dulce de Leche store. Unfortunately, when we got home, we found our purchase there was past the expiration date and therefore undrinkable. Be careful to check the date before purchasing! The shopping stop at the end was a bit too long. I would have rated five-star if not for these 2 small disappintments.
Response from the operator: Hi James, thank you for posting a review about our Buenos Aires Shore Excursion Premium City Tour. Your opinion is important to us and will certainly help other travelers. Best regards, Carlos.

Great Driver and Knowledgeable Guide Make for a Pleasant Excursion
The excursion was a pleasant sampler of the attractions in Buenos Aires. The tour operator did the best they could to fulfill their duties even impacted by some civil disorder in the city that day.

Beautiful city and the right agency
We were picked up at port on time and started our Buenos Aires City Tour with Daniela, a very good guide and nice person. We visited 9 de Julio Ave, Plaza de Mayo where we took many pictures and La Boca, one of the colorful areas. We enjoyed some tango music and dancers there, too. We also got to know Puerto Madero and the green area and Recoleta. We visited the famous cemetery and Evita's tomb. It was and excellent tour. We had a wonderful time.

Buenos Aires Shore Excursion Premium City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Buenos Aires Shore Excursion Premium City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Shore Excursion Premium City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Shore Excursion Premium City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 7 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 Shore Excursion Premium City Tour?
+
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 Shore Excursion Premium City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Buenos Aires Shore Excursion Premium City Tour?
+
Around 2 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Buenos Aires Shore Excursion Premium City Tour 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.

+
