Friendly, knowledgeable, courteous tour guide! We loved him!
Richard was excellent!! He was friendly, courteous and great with communication prior to our tour so we knew exactly where to meet him and when. He showed us all of the things we wanted to see and a few extras that made the tour very memorable. He is very knowledgeable about the city so we felt well informed about the history and some local, "little known" tidbits that made the trip interesting. We threw him a few last minute requests and he made them happen, and he didn't rush us when the tour started to go a little overtime. Altogether, he is a very friendly and engaging tour guide and I highly recommend him (in fact, I connected him with friends the very next day!).

Good informative tour but cut short
Richard was very friendly and spoke good English. He was very amenable and tried to accommodated our requirements. Unfortunately, this tour was meant for 6 hours, but we had to condense it to suit our flight out of Buenos Aires, so needed to cut it to 4 hours, which Richard was happy to do. However, he suggested lunch at a restaurant in Caminita and they took ages to prepare the meal (which was good). But this meant we had to rush through the remainder of our tour sites! So these became a drive past or very quick stop. We did not get to see the Recoleto Cemetery, which I was looking forward to. Even then it took 5 Hours so we had to rush to pack and catch our flight.

Excellent 👌 Perfect
Richard was the perfect host. He went out of his way to me sure we were as comfortable as possible. He parked where we could easily access. He was in constant contact when we were on our own. He went above and beyond guides have done before.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour of Buenos Aires with Local Guide - 6 hours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Private Tour of Buenos Aires with Local Guide - 6 hours cost?
+
Prices start at $140 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 Tour of Buenos Aires with Local Guide - 6 hours take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Tour of Buenos Aires with Local Guide - 6 hours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 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 Tour of Buenos Aires with Local Guide - 6 hours?
+
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 Tour of Buenos Aires with Local Guide - 6 hours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour of Buenos Aires with Local Guide - 6 hours?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour of Buenos Aires with Local Guide - 6 hours 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.

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.
