Hokey but Fun Tour of Ushuaia
We had a layover in Ushuaia and time to fill before we boarded a boat late in the afternoon. We had signed up for the double decker bus tour before starting our vacation but had wondered if we should have signed up for a walking tour. We enjoyed the bus tour; it was a bit hokey but fun. It is a pre recorded audio which comes in different languages. The bus is old but functional. The driver and host/hostess were very friendly. It stops a couple of times so you can get out and see the views of the area and the employees are generous about taking photos of you in front of the views. We learned more about Ushuaia’s history, got to see the town in a short period of time (no worrying about being late to board) and since it was raining off and on all day we got to do it from the enclosed upper level of the bus!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy you enjoyed discovering Ushuaia’s history and scenic views, even on a rainy day. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team and hope to welcome you back to the End of the World!

Morning Bus Tour
This was a great way to see the city and surrounding neighborhoods of Ushuaia. Arrive about 15 minutes early and show your voucher to them ( they have their uniforms on.) an and in return they will give you a small ticket. At the start the commentary was sll in English and Lila did a great job. She was very friendly and nice snd give us lots of information about the history and developments about Ushuaia. The driver and commentator were very interesting and helpful It was a great way to see a lot of the surrounding areas in the “ valley” of the mountains. I would recommended this it was just under 2 hours. (Note: The bus is light blue and picks you opposite the main tourist information center on side of main road.)
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed learning about Ushuaia’s history and exploring the surrounding neighborhoods. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Lila and our team. We hope to see you again at the End of the World!

Good overall, but the nails in the seats and difficulty hearing were negatives.
Overall fine. I was in seat 1A and there were 2 nails that stuck up through the edge of the cushion which was pretty uncomfortable. The first @ 10-15 minutes of the information broadcast was very difficult to hear so we missed quote a bit. The person speaking had a very quiet voice. The last part appeared to be a recording with much boost voices which was much better. It would also be helpful if the hosts reminded people to keep talking to a minimum as we had several very noisy people around us.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the tour overall, and we sincerely apologize for the uncomfortable seat and the audio difficulties. We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention and will share your comments with our team to help improve the experience.

Always a great way to see a new city and get orientated
Again, a typical hop-on-hop-off bus experience, although on a smaller scale. Great way to orientate you to Montevideo. We didn't hop on or off as the busses dont come around that regularly. Still a great way to see the city.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed discovering Ushuaia and getting an overview of the city. We appreciate you choosing our tour and hope you enjoyed the rest of your travels!

Ushuaia City Sightseeing Tour by Double-Decker Bus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ushuaia.
How much does Ushuaia City Sightseeing Tour by Double-Decker Bus cost?
+
Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ushuaia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ushuaia City Sightseeing Tour by Double-Decker Bus take?
+
Plan for about 1.2 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 Ushuaia is not rushed.
Is Ushuaia City Sightseeing Tour by Double-Decker Bus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 74 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Ushuaia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ushuaia City Sightseeing Tour by Double-Decker Bus?
+
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 Ushuaia City Sightseeing Tour by Double-Decker Bus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ushuaia City Sightseeing Tour by Double-Decker Bus?
+
Around 26 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 Ushuaia 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 Ushuaia and add a light layer if any part of the 1.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ushuaia City Sightseeing Tour by Double-Decker Bus 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 Ushuaia 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 Ushuaia?
+
On Outty we rank every Ushuaia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vinciguerra Glacier Trekking and Premium Floe Lagoon, King Crab Route 4WD Off Road with lunch in Puerto Almanza, Tierra del Fuego National Park – Small Groups. Optional Train. 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 Ushuaia?
+
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 Ushuaia?
+
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.
