Discover Buenos Aires
We had a great experience doing this private city tour of Buenos Aires. The big difference is the free time to explore and know each place, in addition to the knowledge of the guide, which enriches the tour. Rafa, our guide, was amazing, telling about the history of the city, the country and curiosities in general... Rafa and also Damon, our driver, were super attentive, nice, made every effort to make everything go well with our ride. It was worth it! Leaving the hotel we went to La Boca, San Telmo, Obelisco, Casa Rosada, Plaza de Mayo, Congress, Recoleta, Palermo to Belgrano and the Monumental stage... it was a whole day very well spent!
Response from the operator: Muito obrigado! Ficamos felizes que tenham aproveitado o city tour privado e todos os lugares de Buenos Aires com Rafa e Damon.

Great introduction to Buenos Aires.
Seeing the cemetery where Eva Peron was interred. Our guide Lu was very knowledgeable and very patient answering our questions. Our driver was very helpful in assisting everyone in and out of the van.
Response from the operator: We're thrilled you enjoyed your visit! Lu is indeed very knowledgeable and patient. We are really glad you enjoyed her! Hope to see you back soon.

Wished it had been a private tour!
Don't make the mistake of thinking custom means a private tour. It doesn't say private and I made that mistake. I will be very careful next time. There were two other couples who we didn't know. We really couldn't do things at the pace we wanted because there was more walking than one of the couples needed to be doing. The tour guide was very sweet and quite knowledgeable and the driver was very good. Had it been just the four of us, it would have been fine.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We appreciate your feedback and will ensure clearer communication about our tour offerings in the future. We're glad to hear you found our guide knowledgeable and enjoyed the service of our driver. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

Loved our Custom Buenos Aires tour
The fun started when Ludmila picked us up at the hotel. She was so pleasant and knowledgeable. The driver, Carlos, did a fantastic job in navigating and parking and keeping us safe. There was sufficient time to browse and enjoy and ask questions. Altho we had seen most of the places, we had not gone inside or knew much about the history of Buenos Aires. Ludmila educated us; not just with the "touristy" stuff, but with the background and little touches such as the significance of symbols. I would definitely recommend this tour and the guide and the driver.
Response from the operator: Dear Azalia, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We really do appreaciate you taking your time to let us know that you had a great time. Hope to see you again soon!

A Great Way to See Buenos Aires!
This was a great way to see more of Buenos Aires. Ludmila was our tour guide with Carlos, as her driver. The vehicle was a little small for us and it wasn’t easy to get in or out, but we made it work. She was very knowledgeable and friendly, and made the day very fun. We drove to several indoor markets with an opportunity for lunch. It was very warm and humid so I stayed with a refreshing lemonade. A huge book store converted from an old theater was an amazing stop, definitely difficult with a large tour bus. The cemetery that Eva Peron was buried in held an interesting story that many people probably don’t know. You’ll have to go to find the truth. The cemetery was huge but very worthwhile. I felt like we experienced more than if we were part of a large group in a personalized day. It was fun and memorable!
Response from the operator: Hello, how are you? Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are very happy that you liked our company and our team. Buenos Aires is beautiful and even more so with good friends. We hope to hear from you very soon!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Custom City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Custom City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $239 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 Custom City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 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 Custom City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 9 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 Custom 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 Custom City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Custom City Tour?
+
Around 3 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Custom 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.
What is included in Custom City Tour?
+
Included: Private transportation; Admission fees; Pick-up and drop off from select locations; Guided City Tour; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Admission fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Custom City Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 489 listed pickup locations in and around Buenos Aires. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Custom City Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Custom City Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

+
