Exceptional and exciting day
Fabulous polo experience with my coach Ezequiel. The intro and instruction was clear and thorough in English. The one on one teaching was excellent. I was able to control th horse and hit the balls. Great introduction to the sport. Would recommend any friends to this.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Jasonl! We’re glad you enjoyed your lesson with Ezequiel and had a great introduction to polo. We’d love to welcome you back!

Amazing
While the weather was awful, the staff ensured that I had a wonderful experience. The location is just stunning and lunch was incredible. I would recommend this tour for absolutely everybody no matter what your horse experience is. I’d travel all the way from Australia just to do this again
Response from the operator: Thanks for your kind words! We’re happy the team made your day memorable, despite the weather. Hope to see you again at Villa Maria!

Exclusive Polo Lesson at Villa Maria with Argentinean Barbecue: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Exclusive Polo Lesson at Villa Maria with Argentinean Barbecue cost?
+
Prices start at $403 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 Exclusive Polo Lesson at Villa Maria with Argentinean Barbecue take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Exclusive Polo Lesson at Villa Maria with Argentinean Barbecue worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Exclusive Polo Lesson at Villa Maria with Argentinean Barbecue?
+
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 Exclusive Polo Lesson at Villa Maria with Argentinean Barbecue suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Polo Lesson at Villa Maria with Argentinean Barbecue?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Polo Lesson at Villa Maria with Argentinean Barbecue 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 Exclusive Polo Lesson at Villa Maria with Argentinean Barbecue?
+

Does Exclusive Polo Lesson at Villa Maria with Argentinean Barbecue include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Exclusive Polo Lesson at Villa Maria with Argentinean Barbecue offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
