The tour bus arrived our hotel 30 minutes late, so consequently the rest of the day was rushed and hurried. Although this was a city tour, only limited areas of the city were explored, so much more was left unseen. I've been on better tours. We weren't even returned to our hotel! We were dropped off approximately 1 mile away!

I feel like we didn't actually see that much. The information presented was minimal. This was partially due to the fact that the guide was speaking in three languages, thus rushing through the commentary and speaking very quickly. Also, we were told the tour was for 200 but we didn't get picked up until 240. More stops would have been nice.

Trip was ok. Best part was the visit to Carminita Street. Guide was 45 minutes late with no apology. Guide was distant and disinterested in her visitors to the city. Not worth the effort. While in Buenos Aires my husband was mugged within half and hour of getting back to hotel from this trip!

We spent too much time picking up other people from other hotels and then not ready to leave and the entire bus would need to wait on only a few. Tour should include the cemetery of Eva. Otherwise it was worth the money.

It was too short of a tour, especially in the El Caminto section, which is the touristy part of the tour.

We booked our tour for all three family members, but when we arrived, we discovered that the tour company had only one booking in their system.

It was difficult to see much from the coach and difficult to understand the commentary.

It had its moments, fairly informative, but I prefer a hop on-hop off bus tour, which is not available in Buenos Aires, for a general overview of an area.

The tour bus drove all over the city but did not stop for pictures. We got off the bus only two times. Once was to visit a church, which I don't even know the name of. The other time off the bus was to visit La Boca. There was barely enough time to walk around the block before re-boarding the bus. We didn't even pass by Recoleto Cemetery, which is one of the most famous landmarks.

Were very late picking us up, crammed alot of people on the bus and weren't very accommodating when we asked to be dropped off a place we went right by. However there was ample time to 'shop' at their favorite places!

It would be nice to have an English only tour available, so as to avoid repetition of everything in several languages. Also a bit longer as the only 2 stops on the tour were too short.

Duration was too short. Felt like we were being rushed through the various sites. We should have doubled the allotted time at each stop so that we could have look around and buy some souvenirs.

The tour consisted of a whistle stop tour of the main sights followed by two stops in the La Boca district. The second of these was far too long and served only to let locals pressure the tourists into buying various souvenirs. The staff themselves then tried to pressure tour members into buying photos and cds that they had 'specially prepared for us'. Would recommend that anyone considering this tour not get back on the bus at Casa Rosada, as the rest of the tour is orientated towards taking the tourist to an area La Boca where they can't just wander off and are forced to run the gauntlet of souvenir sellers.

This tour was a bus tour only. We got out of the bus only twice, once to see some modern sculpture and the second time to see their Boca stadium - apparently a big deal in Argentina not very interesting for us however. I was hoping to see a Recoletta cemetery and the Presidential palace but the driver never stopped in any of these places. The final stop was at some shopping place in downtown and we had to make our way back to the hotel on our own. Only positive thing was the guide who spoke English and Spanish and was quite knowledgeable.
