    Awful.

    Awful experience, we arrived close to check in hours, but there is check in for Uruguayans and Argentines, and for passengers with vehicles, but there is no for foreigners without vehicles, so because of the little tempo we had we were confined, we lost the schedule and had to pay ptro ticket, 200,000 pesos of prejudice and service at ATM very bad.

    Response from the operator: Gracias por su contacto. Lamentamos leer su relato. Por favor podria dejarnos el codigo de reserva de su viaje para chequear las camaras y el horario de acceso a la terminal. Todas las personas que estan en las filas de check in, cualquiera sea su procedencia son embarcadas sin excepción, por lo que si UD ingreso a la terminal en el horario antes del del cierre del check in (30 minutos antes de la salida) deberia haber embarcado sin ningun problema. Por favor permítanos esta información para chequear que es lo que paso y si tenemos que mejorar o cambiar algo lo haremos. Muchas Gracias!

    So glad we did this!!

    Such a good day… the terminal is nice, clean and easy to navigate. We ate breakfast there while we waited for departure. I’m actually glad we didn’t pay for the tour. It was easy to navigate on our own and we enjoyed being on our own time! When you arrive visit the information desk and they will give you a map and a little information to navigate. Then off you go! We had ice cream, souvenired shopped, caught the most amazing sunset and ate dinner off the water. The ferry ride is comfortable and clean and today was a breeze!

    Response from the operator: Dear Passenger, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our services, and we look forward to welcoming you aboard again in the future. Sincerely, Colonia Express

    Day trip to Colonia

    The views were incredible. Ride was very smooth. Queues were fast moving and organized although exiting was a bit chaotic and crammed.

    Response from the operator: Dear passenger, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Hope to have you back on board soon! Greetings

    Day Tour + snack on board: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Day Tour + snack on board cost?

    +

    Prices start at $83 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 Day Tour + snack on board take?

    +

    Plan for about 24 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 Day Tour + snack on board worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 33 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 Day Tour + snack on board?

    +

    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 Day Tour + snack on board suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Day Tour + snack on board?

    +

    Around 12 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Day Tour + snack on board 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 Day Tour + snack on board?

    +

    Included: Snacks; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Walking tour (NOT included in this option). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Day Tour + snack on board?

    +

    The local partner will send you the reservation number via email after booking. Please have in mind that this tour involves international border crossing and customs. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Day Tour + snack on board?

    +

    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.

    Is Day Tour + snack on board wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Day Tour + snack on board if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Buenos Aires. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Day Tour + snack on board?

    +

    Across 33 reviews averaging 4.3 out of 5, recurring themes include organization, food and drink, the guide. Pickup, timing, and logistics are described as running smoothly.
