Good day out away from Buenos Aires city

We were lucky that we were the only ones on Natalia's tour that day and so she was able to be a bit flexible in missing out places we'd been to before and spend more time elsewhere. The boat and train rides is a good combination

Pintoresco e interesante tour!!

Guía turístico muy amable y con mucho conocimiento. Ella hablan inglés bien - muy útil ya que nuestro español es mal. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She speaks English well, which is helpful since we don’t speak much Spanish. We got to see a lot of very interesting buildings and areas in a short time, which would have taken a long time to research and organize on our own. Highly recommended! Altamente recomendada!
