Highlights
- Plaza de Mayo - The May Square is located in the Porteño Downtown, neighborhood of Monserrat, in the area where the foundation of Buenos Aires took place. The Plaza de Mayo is the most important and oldest public square of the city. The name of this square commemorates the Revolution of May 25, 1810, date in which the citizens gathered around to expel the Viceroy and form a creole government. Since then, the Square has been a silent witness to the most important political and social events in the country.

Great Guides Make for Great Tours - Our city tour was a wonderful way to get to know Buenos Aires. The three hours went by in a flash. Our guide, Miriam, was a true professional. She provided wonderful details for each of the five neighborhoods we visited and safely ushered our group across the busy streets. No mean feat in Buenos Aires! She also managed to gather us under the shade trees at every stop; a much appreciated skill on a hot, sunny day. The bus was modern, the driver skilled, and the A/C worked like a champ. The best excursion of our cruise at a fraction of the price.

Excellent tour - Our tour guide “ Stella” was very informative, friendly and professional . She gave us excellent insight on the history of Buenos Aires and Argentina. Our driver “ Emiliano “ was cautious and always gave us a hand to get in / out of the van. It was nice that the tour was done in a small mini van rather than a huge bus. Take the tour at the beginning of your stay, it gives you a good idea on how to plan the rest of your time in Buenos Aires. I strongly recommend this tour with Signature Tours, very reliable and on time. Enjoy BA..

City tour - Tour was very good but had a hard time finding Ailine as she did not have a sign and there was much confusion as to where the pick up was suppose to be.
Cruise ships passengers were disembarking and new passengers were loading so there were thousands of people in the area. Took us 30 minutes to hook up with the tour

Great way to see lots during port day from cruise - Great guide, good tour. Could have had more time in some places. Worked for us. Picked us up at port and would have returned us too, but we were able to leave after cemetery and walk to National Art Museum and then walk back to port.

Amazing and efficient guided tour - The tour was amazing; A mixture of a relaxed and rich in information experience about the main districts of Buenos Aires.
Florencia (the tour guide) is so enthusiastic, knowledgeable, helpful and patient. She has a great sense of humor.
Together with Roberto our safe driver that day, my friends and I were able to make the best out of our little time in Buenos Aires. Thank you!!

Interesting Buenos Aires - Although the guide was given a later meet time to what we were given we did enjoy the relaxed and friendly tour. The city was busy but our guide took extra care to ensure we got to experience things without getting lost.

Small group experience - The variety of areas of the city that we saw were wonderful. From the formal to the arty to the historical it was all a great experience. And we could end the tour at the cemetery instead of taking the bus back to the ship. That way we could get our own lunch in the city and make our way back in a leisurely manner. It was also nice not to have a large group on the tour. It made getting around much easier and you could always see and hear our tour guide.

Highlights of Buenos Aires in humour - Our tour guide Romena did a great job introducing the key highlights of Buenos Aires in three hours. We were a group of about 10 and was taken to plaza mayo, caminito and Recoleta. She gave us explanation of Argentinian history in a light hearted way. Highly recommended.

Nice tour, but needs better organization - The content of the tour and the knowledge of the guide were quite good, however the delays in starting the tour due to poor organization are unacceptable.
The pick up at the port was chaos and it was only by pure luck that we found our guide. No instructions on where to wait and no card to tell us who to group with. Two inquiries at the port terminal information desk were fruitless. No one seemed to have a clue.
Even worse, we ended up waiting 25 minutes for people to join the tour at a hotel. They never showed up, but eventually joined the tour at one of the stops along the way.
