Good trip and experience! - This is a very smooth ride for those who need something more stable for their group. The guide was excellent and repeated everything in 3 languages with ease. This is an interesting part of Argentina and you should see it. Pick up at the pier seemed to be new to the, so use WhatsApp to track your location if on a cruise.

Great tour, fun, interesting boat ride - We enjoyed the city tour because it covered a part of Buenos Aires we hadn’t seen, but the boat ride down the Tigre was wonderful. It was fascinating to see and learn about the lifestyle of people who lived along the river.

Tigre Delta was amazing - The Tigre Delta was amazing, particularly for me, a boat lover. Boats everywhere, boat buses, boat taxis, school boats, mobile supermarket boats etc. Boat tour company were disorganised, we ended up on the wrong boat!

Tour of the delta - The tour was okay. The tour was conducted mainly in Spanish followed by a briefer English translation. As someone who is partially deaf, I found it difficult to follow the rapid transition in language. Would have preferred an English only tour due to that. Guide was pleasant and knowledgeable

Mostly good - Great boat ride. Great scenery. Learned a lot about the area. Lucy, the tour guide, who took us to and from the boat but did not go on the boat with us, was very sweet. Did not like the area that we went to after the boat to shop and “get a snack”. Most places were closed. It was lunchtime and we were hungry. No place to eat lunch so we “snacked”. Maybe add a half hour more to the tour time and pick a better area to eat.

Excellent tour. - Tour was great. The boat ride was very good, except it was pretty crowded onboard. The best tip is to stay on top of the vessel and avoid the main cabin with seats. Use your sunscreen!

wasted time, no nature experience - the first two stops were a waste of time, especially the half hour coffee break after half hour trip. then i would have liked to see at least one small channel without houses and civilazation...
