    What you'll see and do

    1. El Zanjon De Granados

      This complex is located on what was once the seventh and final southern block of the city, founded in 1580 by Juan de Garay. It was not the southern boundary by chance, but because a stream ran through that block, one of the three that carried water from the city's upper reaches to the Río de la Plata

    2. Casa Minima

      With a mere 2.5 meters of frontage, this house, which was part of a dwelling from the second decade of the 19th century, is known as the narrowest in the city. It has a simple facade, consisting of a two-leaf door with green-painted panels and, on the upper floor, a small balcony with iron bars. These houses were for freed slaves, to whom their masters assigned a small space to build their living quarters, adjacent to their property. The house on San Lorenzo Passage—the only one of its kind remaining in Buenos Aires—measures 2.5 meters wide and 13 meters deep.

    Well worth the time but do the full tours

    Two of the oldest buildings in BA. Both buildings are privately owned and not really advertised so relatively few visitors. No need to reserve, just look on website for days/times of tours in your preferred language. I took the full El Zanjon tour one day and the full Minima house tour another day. Tour guides are a delight, everyone very helpful and excellent English. If you have time, the full tours, vs the flash, are highly recommended to understand the history of the buildings and early years of BA.

    Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $75 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 Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided 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 Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 0 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided 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 Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided Tour?

    +

    Included: Guided tour in English of the Minimal House and the Zanjón de Granados. Not included: Hotel pick-up and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided Tour?

    +

    You must arrive at Defensa 755, 15 minutes before your chosen departure time Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 Flash Tour El Zanjon de Granados and Casa Minima Guided Tour?

    +
