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.

Highlights tour of Buenos Aires - Wonderful day trip to see the highlights of Buenos Aires! Enjoyed walking tour of Plaza de Mayo, walking through the Boca area, walking the Recoleta neighborhood, and especially the inside guided tour of the beautiful Colon Theater. Maria was an excellent guide.

Great tour - The tour with Laura was excellent. She was very informative and flexible with the programme. The tour of the theatre was also very interesting. It's a little sad that they can't take you behind the scenes but all in all a very interesting and enjoyable tour.

great tour - It is definately the best way to get to know Buenos Aires! After some disappointing tours in other cities, I had some doubts about these kinds of activities. However, Ana was the best guide ever!!! She explained everything with so much passion, detail and humor, I fell in love with the city. I am so going to come to Buenos Aires again on my next vacation!!

Two separate tours - This was a good way to get an overview of the city, although unlike the Trip Advisor description, it is really two separate tours. The first is a mini-bus tour with a guide. The guide picks you up at your hotel, and you join a group that has been picked up at various other hotels. The guide is knowledgeable about many aspects of past and recent history and architecture and can answer questions about all kinds of things. We visited the plaza outside the Casa Rosada, walked around in La Boca and San Telmo, and drove through Palermo and other areas of the city. The final part of this tour was a brief walk through the Recoleta cemetery, with a stop at Evita Peron's family mausoleum. That is where the first tour ends. Everyone else in the group either stayed at Recoleta or got dropped off at their hotels. Since I had booked the Teatro Colon tour as well, they dropped me off there with an admission ticket for an hour later and I was on my own to get back to my hotel. The theater tour was led by a guide from the theater. It was fascinating as well, and even though the lights were off in the main auditorium because the company was rehearsing, watching that happen was quite interesting as well.

Deceptive - I picked this tour specifically for the visit to Theatro Colon, which seemed to be included according to the description which said "includes tickets to Theatro Colon". I had been wanting to visit it for 20 years. At 1:00 pm after a nice enough bus ride around town I asked our guide about the tour of the opera house. "Oh, we have tickets for you at 3:00 pm. This was unacceptable since we were supposed to board our cruise ship at 3:00 and I made that clear when we started the tour. They give you tickets but not for a part of the tour, you need your own transport and it's at a different time. Disappointed.
