We had to travel from Belgrano to the microcenter to get picked up. Our guide was great. A delightful young woman took film of the entire trip and I'm glad we bought a copy of the DVD. The Tigre Delta is amazing, sit on the top level of the boat for the views, and dress warmly if it's cold. The DVD also had footage of the delta with a lower water level, which was very interesting to see. Definitely worth doing, and it was nice to have the bus / train / boat tour set up for us.

Well worth the price of the tour.

My wife and I loved this trip. We thought it was so interesting to see a totally different kind of environment in the Delta. The tour guide was excellent and was extremely knowledgeable.

The train ride was very short. The guide was knowledgeable and the cities were interesting. The lunch afterward was just awful. It was at an overpriced restaurant where they dumped us off and left. The food was OK, but not for the price. Maybe they changed the restaurant choice from the other reviews, but the lunch was definitely not worth it.

Sightseeing in the country was good, but tour guide flirted with the bus driver most of the time--and was very difficult to understand.

The tour itself was not bad. We had to fight in order to get a hotel pick up even though it stated that hotel pickup was included.

It was OK. The train ride was less that 10 minutes. Nothing special could be seen during the train ride. Even though it is a Coast Train, you will not see the coast. The boat ride was better. We saw the small islands and houses. The tour guide did not give a lot of details. I expected more from this tour.

This was fine for what they had to show us.

I'm glad I did the tour. I was able to see some scenery outside of Buenos Aires. The rest was kind of uneventful. I guess I expected something more than a stop in a touristy area with pricey food and market. We could have passed on that stop. The boat ride was interesting. Also, the tour company should be more careful about customer's names. However, the price made it worth it. The price was right.

The tour was definitely worth doing if are spending more than a few days in BA. We actually had a poor experience with the confirmation. They will provide a number and days to call, but we called several times a day for several days. When we did reach someone after our planned tour, they hang up on us. After a brief conversation with a supervisor, the trip was re-booked and we eventually took the tour. The tour is worth is the trip but the communication for confirmation is extremely poor.

It was OK but seems like a trip that can be planned on your own.

I much regret that the drinks and beverages on the lunch in Puerto Madero were not included.

The tour was good, but the tour guide seemed more interested in meeting up with her friends at each stop and made no effort to keep us together. The restaurant we went to no one spoke English and she was no where to be found. Good tour, lousy guide.

Don't be surprised if the bus is up to an hour late. It was fun to drive out of town and see places you don't see on the city tour. We were packed onto the train like sardines, so be prepared to stand, and you need to stay with your group or you may not get off at the same stop they do. The artisan shops were nice, and the prices reasonable. The boat ride was very interesting and has inside or outside seating. They also had desserts for sale that looked quite nice. If you choose lunch, realize that it is at the very end of the tour and isn't until you get back to Puerto Madero--in town--but it was an amazing lunch at a wonderful restaurant on the edge of the port.
