    Old town walking around and taking pictures . Too many mosquitoes took away the fun. Over priced guided tour

    via Viator

    Sightseer03256457234 · February 2024

    Beautiful location

    A good tour to a beautiful place but not worth the cost. This trip can easily be organised independently. For the cost we should have received upgraded ferry tickets.

    Crazy expensive and wouldn’t recommend

    Tour guide was very knowledgeable but this was a very overpriced excursion. It basically covered a 90 minute private tour followed by 5 1/2 hours of free time. Really? The round trip ferry was $21 USD per person which would have made the 90 min tour cost $336 USD based on two people. Nothing against the tour guide but I really feel ripped off and should be asking for money back.

    Good day trip

    Wonderful village, good guide, great lunch. Takes an hour each way to get through check in, emigration, customs, etc. Pickup at hotel was prompt. Return ferry was 15 min late but driver was waited for us. Thought there might be too much time after end of guided tour and check in for return but not really. Plenty to see and do. Sycamores in bloom caused allergies to flare. Could do on own but guide was very additive. All in all worth the money.

    Colonia del Sacramento Private Day Tour from Buenos Aires: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Colonia del Sacramento Private Day Tour from Buenos Aires cost?

    +

    Prices start at $250 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 Colonia del Sacramento Private Day Tour from Buenos Aires take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Colonia del Sacramento Private Day Tour from Buenos Aires worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Colonia del Sacramento Private Day Tour from Buenos Aires?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Colonia del Sacramento Private Day Tour from Buenos Aires suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Colonia del Sacramento Private Day Tour from Buenos Aires?

    +

    Around 11 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Colonia del Sacramento Private Day Tour from Buenos Aires 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.
