    Nice tour when your time is limited

    Nice tour if you are in town for only a short period of time. Got highlights of the city with a very small group on a mini bus. Our tour ended with a really lunch at a very upscale Italian restaurant. The tour guide was really remarkable as she pointed out highlights in English, Portuguese and Spanish seamlessly!

    Response from the operator: Hi Mike, thank you for posting a review about our Small-Group Buenos Aires City Tour and Lunch in Puerto Madero. Your opinion is important to us and will certainly help other travelers. We are very glad you enjoyed it. Cordially, Carlos

    This is not an English...

    This is not an English only tour. While most translations were very similar in English and Spanish, more information was provided in Spanish. An option for group to go to the cemetery for a longer tour would be an improvement.

    Response from the operator: Hi, thank you for posting a review about our Small-Group Buenos Aires City Tour and Lunch in Puerto Madero. The tour is advertised in english/spanish/portuguese. Even we try to just guide it in one language, it is with a bilingual guide and according to the nationality of travelers. Cordially, Carlos

    Bad tour

    This tour was a ripoff. We were not told this was a tour given in multiple languages at the same time. We were the only English speakers on the tour, which was very awkward for 4 hours. The guide was very rushed to give all of the details in both Spanish and English as we passed by each site. There was no time for questions. She did the best she could given this situation, but this was not what a small group tour should be. The included lunch is, inexplicably, at an Italian restaurant and we were dropped off alone. The tour states “hotel pickup and drop off are provided for ease” and “this activity ends back at the meeting point,” yet our tour ended in Puerto Madero at the Italian restaurant and we were told to return on our own without any further instructions. On the upside, the guide was very friendly and did her best to explain many attractions very quickly as we drove by. The city is beautiful. Find a different tour to see it.

    Response from the operator: Hi Katrina, thank you for positing a review. We regreto to hear that your experience was not as you expected. Our product clearly states this tour runs in spanish/english/portuguese with a bilingual guide. We try to provide only one language but we have never stated that the tour would be run in only one. Our product clearly states that when lunch is selected, it ends at the restaurant in Puerto Madero. Cordially, Carlos

    Great guide who was very informative. We went to a lot of good places. He was great in Spanish and English.9

    Not a lot to see really....

    Not a lot to see really. She pointed out the gate to the Recoleta cemetery but no option to go there. We chose the lunch option but we were the only ones and were dropped off and everyone else left and we had to make our own way home. The tour was fine but wish it was more clear in the description that if you chose lunch that you had to find your own way back.

    Response from the operator: Hi Julie, thank you for posting. Your opinion is important to us and will cerainly help other travelers. We regret to hear your experience was not as you expected. The cemetery is not stated as an inclusion and the return is stated in what it is excluded: "Return to the starting point. This tour ends in Puerto Madero". Also, our guides remind it during the tour. Best regards, Carlos

    Small-Group Buenos Aires City Tour and Lunch in Puerto Madero: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Small-Group Buenos Aires City Tour and Lunch in Puerto Madero cost?

    +

    Prices start at $98 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 Small-Group Buenos Aires City Tour and Lunch in Puerto Madero 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 Small-Group Buenos Aires City Tour and Lunch in Puerto Madero worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 13 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 Small-Group Buenos Aires City Tour and Lunch in Puerto Madero?

    +

    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 Small-Group Buenos Aires City Tour and Lunch in Puerto Madero 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 Small-Group Buenos Aires City Tour and Lunch in Puerto Madero?

    +

    Around 5 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 Small-Group Buenos Aires City Tour and Lunch in Puerto Madero 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.
