Horrible ride

This tour is horrible... There's nothing beautiful to see, the only interesting part is the park itself, other than that it's not worth it... Much better to enjoy the port and the charming little town.

Disappointing and a waste of time and money

This trip was very disappointing. First, the boat left very late, waiting for 2-3 groups before starting. The boat ride was less about the delta landscape than just being a boat ride but still it was the best part. Tigre is not worth the time, especially for visitors from Asia. All I was shown was the Fruit Market which is mainly a new age kitsch market with poor toilets. Then we got on the highway back to Buenos Aires. There was not even a drive through of San Isidro. Don't waste money on this trip.
