    COME SEE BUENOS AIRES

    Shy was prompt to pick us up at terminal. She was friendly and knowledgeable as she escorted us to various parts of Buenos Aires. We enjoyed all the time she spent with us and departed with a desire to return to Buenos Aires! Thank you

    One of the best tours we’ve done!

    This was a fantastic tour, which we did with two friends, with Mirta, who was so lovely and so knowledgeable about the city. We were met at the Cruise Terminal, and shown to a comfortable air conditioned minibus. There was plenty of room for the four of us and Mirta and our driver, Mario, successfully negotiated the sometimes hair-raising Buenos Aires traffic! Rather him than us, we decided! We spent time in the Cathedral, at the Casa Rosada, the Cemetery, Boca, and learned so much about Argentine history, and that of the City. There was a good mixture of walking and driving, and we saw many of the main sights. We loved Buenos Aires, and all agreed that without this tour, we would have missed so much. In fact, we could not decide which sight we liked best. We highly recommend this tour, and if you have the lovely, warm-hearted Mirta as your guide, you will not be disappointed. As we were going to be staying another couple of days, after leaving the ship, Mirta showed us on the map, where to go (and where not to go!), indicated what buses to get, and gave us ideas for our visit, which helped us tremendously.

    La Boca

    The guide and driver were excellent. We had done a bus trip the previous day which was organised by our ship but like most of these type of trips there were only 4 stops with Evita's grave being one of them and also a visit to the Tango Coffee Shop. On the private trip we were able to adapt the tour to find out more about some things, omit other things, spend longer at the market and visit many other interesting parts of the city with many stops as easy to do with a driver and guide. Will probably do more private trips in future at other locations.

    Buenos Private City Tour

    This excursion was excellent! Our guide, Diana, and the driver were very prompt picking us up at the cruise terminal. Diana’s English and knowledge of the city were excellent. We saw so many key sights in 4 hours! There were 4 of us in a very comfortable, air conditioned van. We hope to return to Buenos Aires one day and book another tour to see more of this city!

    Wonderful Post Cruise Tour

    After an 11 night cruise on the Celebrity Eclipse, we arranged for a private tour of Buenos Aires and drop off at the airport for our 8pm flight. Andres Miguel was professional and accommodating from the beginning. His communication was always timely and effective. The cruise ship did not dock where it was scheduled but after Andres was notified he put our worries at ease and arrived at the new location promptly. Our Tour Guide, Alexandra was professional, flexible and very knowledgeable. She took very good care of us. Our driver did not speak English but Alexandra translated for her because it was a car full of women of course we had a lot to talk about and share. We felt like we were spending the day with friends ( Girl friends: joking, laughing and sharing). I would highly recommend Andres Miguel and his company Bs As Travelers.

    Private Buenos Aires City Tour from Cruise Terminal: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Buenos Aires City Tour from Cruise Terminal cost?

    +

    Prices start at $150 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 Private Buenos Aires City Tour from Cruise Terminal take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Private Buenos Aires City Tour from Cruise Terminal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Private Buenos Aires City Tour from Cruise Terminal?

    +

    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 Private Buenos Aires City Tour from Cruise Terminal suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Buenos Aires City Tour from Cruise Terminal?

    +

    Around 2 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Buenos Aires City Tour from Cruise Terminal 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 Private Buenos Aires City Tour from Cruise Terminal?

    +

    Included: Transport by private car (for groups up to 3 passengers); Professional guide; Transport by air-conditioned minivan (for groups larger than 3 passengers); Driver; and Port pickup and drop-off. Not included: Gratuities; Food and drinks; Airport dorp off is available (please check the options at the booking time); and Luggage: Maximum accepted is 1 suitcase and 1 carry on per person.

    +

    Is Private Buenos Aires City Tour from Cruise Terminal wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
