Very well organized
The company arranged a private tour of Buenos Aires for our group which was top-notch. Afterwards They picked us up and took us to the cruise ship doc. When we returned from our cruise to Buenos Aires they took us to a Gaucho ranch which was wonderful. This company is definitely top-notch I would highly recommend them
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review.Your guide mentionned as well how great a group you were, always smiling...Tell your friends!

Must do in Buenos Aires!
My boyfriend and I had an amazing private tour with Patrick. We learned about key sites, history, and politics. The day was easy going and relaxed and Patrick knew exactly where to take us. We enjoyed the day so much we asked him to go to lunch with us after. Highly recommend and already passed his names to others who are visiting soon.
Response from the operator: It has ben a pleasure to take you around and I felt very comfortable, almost like we already knew each other. That is what we love about guiding . Thanks again for choosing us and tell your friends!

See What You Choose
Our informative and entertaining private half-day city tour, provided by guide Gisela of Buenos Aires Touring, was just what we wanted. EXACTLY what we wanted, because nearly the first question asked of us was "What are you hoping to see today?" And we saw that and much more in the brief time we had. La Boca (incredible), Plaza de May (such history), Metropolitan Cathedral (gorgeous), Casa Rosada, San Telmo, Florales Generica (stunning) and more. We only wished we'd had a full day to spend with this terrific guide and our driver Christine.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shore Excursion: Private Buenos Aires City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Shore Excursion: Private Buenos Aires City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $128 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 Shore Excursion: Private Buenos Aires City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Shore Excursion: Private Buenos Aires City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Shore Excursion: Private Buenos Aires City 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 Shore Excursion: Private Buenos Aires City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shore Excursion: Private Buenos Aires City Tour?
+
Around 1 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shore Excursion: Private Buenos Aires City 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.
