Customer reviews & ratings
This trip is a perfect way to begin a trip to Buenos Aires or Argentina generally. A great balance of time on my own to explore, and a city tour with guide and the asado dinner. Both the city tour with Marianna and Diego, and the asado dinner on the rooftop terrace were fabulous. I love Buenos Aires!
Leeann Apr, 2024 VerifiedRecommend this trip regardless of how long you’re staying in Buenos Aires. If it’s a few days, do it first up, as it’ll give you ideas on where else to go. My guide & driver were wonderful & went the extra yard, and the rooftop barbecue was fabulous
