Fairly good tour
Overall, four stars. Not excellent, but not bad at all. Overall, you pay what you get for with guide bringing you to specific stores and wine demonstrations, and touristic sites where you left for about half an hour each.
Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing your experience. We appreciate your feedback and understand your comments about limited time in some locations. We strive to offer a balance between historical information and additional experiences, such as wine demonstrations and in-store stops. We take your observations into account to improve the itinerary and time management in future activities. We hope to have the opportunity to offer you an even better experience on your next visit!

Excellent tour
It was the second time I had a tour of the city. This time, the guide, Sofia, provided additional information, such as historical and political facts of the places, with photos (cemetary Recoleta) . Besides, she was very friendly and made an effort to communicate with the Brazilians, who were the majority in the group.
Response from the operator: Bom dia Roberto Ficamos muito felizes que tenha gostado do seu passeio pela cidade, trabalhamos muito para que nossos passageiros tenham uma boa experiência. Damos os nossos parabéns a Sofia Saudações

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Buenos Aires: City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Discover Buenos Aires: City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $32 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 Discover Buenos Aires: City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Discover Buenos Aires: City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 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 Discover Buenos Aires: 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 Discover Buenos Aires: City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Buenos Aires: 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Buenos Aires: 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.

+
Included: Pick up by hotels in central area; Drop Off at important points in the city; and Guide throughout the tour. Not included: Snacks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
