Full-day Gaucho ranch escape from Buenos Aires: empanadas, asado with wine, tango and boleadoras, plus horse shows at Santa Susana.
“A little too much unstructured time, good food and plenty to drink. Pick up was fine but drop off wasn’t (we were next to last on pick up and last on drop off!). Estancia was beautiful!”
Don Silvano ranch day trip with hotel pickup, empanadas and wine, gaucho horseback riding, big asado lunch, folklore show, and mate.
“Great to get out of the city for the day and good entertainment during the meal. Plenty of food but salad was old. Toilets in disrepair (not flushing, no soap and not clean).”
Small-group day trip from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento with a guided UNESCO Old Town walk, lighthouse views, ferry transfers.
“I booked this last-minute, and was met at the harbor by Alejandra, who was the most wonderful guide on my first visit to Uruguay. We bonded very well, and she shared so much about Uruguay, Colonia, and so on. Would definitely recommend this excursion!”
A full Buenos Aires walking day, from Florida Street to Recoleta and San Telmo, with cemetery entry and big-city history stops.
“I ended up being the only one on the tour, so it was custom-tailored.”
Fly from Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls in one long day with a private guide, park entry, and train access. Early start, big payoff.
“We enjoyed this trip tremendously. The guide was friendly and informative. The falls are amazing! The only regret is that we did not have time to go on the boat to the bottom of the falls since we lost almost 3 hours due to flight delay and it was only a day trip. We definitely want to do this trip again.”
A premium day trip from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento with fast ferry, hotel pickup, and a guided walk through key colonial sights.
“Our guide in Colonia, Alejandra (Ale), was kind, helpful, knowledgeable, with a strong love for her town. We learned a lot in a short time about Uruguay and had a great time exploring this charming town. After touring with Ale, there is plenty of free time for lunch and further exploration. The historic center of Colonia is small enough to be explored fully during the time you have. The ferry can be busy so recommend upgrading to Business Class for more spacious seating. Transfers were equally good, punctual, and safe.”
One day on electric scooters in Buenos Aires, covering 16 km with Argentine tastings like mate, alfajor, fernet, chipá, and Palermo choripán.
“We wanted to see Buenos Aires. The scooter tour was a great option. We traveled about 16km. Able to see more than doing a walking tour. Our guide was great. Thanks Mike.”
A private Iguazu Falls day trip from Buenos Aires with flights, a Spanish or English guide, and catwalk views of Garganta del Diablo.
“The tour was amazing. I had some difficulty checking with the airline. Otherwise, the day went smoothly. The views were beyond beautiful and I will remember the day for a lifetime. My guide was experienced and knowledgeable. She shared many details on the wildlife, foliage, history, and people. By having a personal guide, I could go through the park at a comfortable pace, not worrying about holding others up if I wanted to take a break. The airfare made the trip pricey, but it was worth it.”
Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls in one day with private guide, airfare, reserved entry, park train, and catwalks at Garganta del Diablo.
“We loved our tour guide Ana and Iguazu Falls, but had problems with the delayed flight of Jetsmart airline! The flight was delayed 3.5 hours- cutting our time in the park in half. So the only thing we got to see was garganta de diablo part of the falls which was great. I would suggest if at all possible to go for st least one night stay!”
