    Outstanding all-day, customized tour of Buenos Aires

    We had a terrific all-day tour of Buenos Aires, customized to our interests, with the intelligent, well-informed, patient, not to mention easy on the eyes guide for ICO, Barbara. She has been guiding for many years herself, but works as a team with her mother Elizabet, who coordinated organization of our preferences and wishes (including our request for an upscale excellent lunch in an air-conditioned venue ). Communication was timely and excellent from the beginning to the end. Barbara used a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with a separate driver, so she could dedicate herself to conversing with us without distractions in between shuttles to the different venues we wanted to focus on. This was our first time in this fascinating city, and we greatly enjoyed our tour. We very strongly recommend ICO for Buenos Aires tours.

    Response from the operator: We are glad that you enjoyed touring our beautiful city. Thank you for giving us a chance of being part of your experience in Buenos Aires!

    Very knowledgeable and accommodating

    Elisabet was great, knowledgeable, and accommodating. There were very few questions we could throw at her that would stump her. She knew about buildings, trees, and now knows how to get a certificate of domicile if anyone needs one! Would highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review Mark! This is what I like about my profession. I always learn new things :)

    Excellent tour!

    We toured with Barbara, but Elisabet is the one who helped me organize everything. Overall, it was wonderful communication and very easy to arrange. Everything was prompt and Elisabet responded exceedingly quickly to any questions or concerns. We had a wonderful tour and saw all of the highlights of the city. Barbara was a lovely guide with a lot of information, everything was flexible and we saw all of the highlights without a rush or concern. I would certainly strongly recommend using Elisabet and Barbara for your trip to Buenos Aires.

    Response from the operator: Both Bárbara and I are so glad that you enjoyed our services! Thank you for such a lovely review :)

    Superb City Tour

    My wife and I had the pleasure of not only doing a Full Day City Tour with Iconic Buenos Aires, but a Gaucho Tour and Delta of Tigre tour. Elisabet, Claudia and Barbara were all so very amazing. The tours were very well planned out, but also allotted time for us to do some shopping along the way. In addition, the meal locations selected were excellent. Great information and conversation during all of the tours. Would highly recommend Iconic Buenos Aires for all your tour needs in and around Buenos Aires. We even arranged our airport transfers through them, which were very convenient and smooth.

    Response from the operator: Darren, thank you so much for your great review about our services. We are so glad that you enjoyed the tours. You and Verónica are a pleasure to be with.

    A Perfect Guide to the Glorious Wonders of Buenos Aires

    Elisabet is the perfect guide to the beauties and treasures of Buenos Aires and its environs. Before our arrival, Elisabet made great recommendations about sites and activities and helped shape our 10-day visit to the city. From the moment of arrival, she facilitated transportation, currency exchange, and a magisterial tour of the various neighborhoods, explaining its history, geography, arts, and architecture. Elisabet organized a wonderful wine tasting expedition to the Gamboa vineyards. She also introduced us to the tranquility and joys of island exploration in the Tigre Delta. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and anticipates every possible need. She made our first visit to Argentina magical. You will not find a better guide to the wonders of this glorious city.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your very very impressive review! I was really pleased to be your guide in Buenos Aires, and I had a great time with you. Please keep in touch.

    Private Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires cost?

    +

    Prices start at $230 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 Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 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 Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires?

    +

    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 Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires?

    +

    Around 8 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires 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 Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires?

    +

    Included: Private driver; Private car; and Private bilingual guide. Not included: Food and beverages; Airport pick up and drop off; and Cementerio de Recoleta tickets. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 221 listed pickup locations in and around Buenos Aires. Be ready about 2 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires 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.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Full Day City Tour by Iconic Buenos Aires if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Buenos Aires. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
