About this tour

This experience combines sailing, nature and culture to discover Tigre and San Isidro in a different way, moving away from the traditional format of crowded excursions.

The tour begins in Puerto Madero , where you'll meet your guide at the Sturla River Terminal to begin your journey to Tigre. On board, you'll admire the Buenos Aires skyline from the Río de la Plata as the landscape gradually transforms into the natural environment of the Paraná Delta.

Upon arriving in Tigre, you'll enjoy lunch on the riverbank before beginning your city tour. The experience continues with a visit to Puerto de Frutos , one of Tigre's most traditional markets, where you'll find handicrafts, regional products, decorations, and a variety of shops.

Next, you'll walk with your guide along Paseo Victorica , a picturesque area on the riverbank, characterized by its historic buildings, rowing clubs, restaurants, and green spaces. During the walk, you'll discover some of Tigre's most iconic landmarks and learn about its historical connection to the Delta.

From the Delta station of the Tren de la Costa (Coastal Train) , you will board the train to San Isidro. The journey offers views of the northern Greater Buenos Aires area and various residential neighborhoods near the Río de la Plata.

Once in San Isidro, you will take a walking tour of its historic center , passing through Plaza Mitre and the emblematic San Isidro Cathedral, as well as other highlights of the area.

Before heading back, you'll have free time to enjoy a coffee, snack, or ice cream on your own. Finally, you'll return by train to Buenos Aires, arriving at Retiro station, where the experience will conclude.

A small group experience

One of the main differences of this excursion is its semi-private and small group format, which allows you to enjoy a more relaxed and personalized tour.

With a small group, the experience allows for closer guidance from the guide , greater flexibility during visits, and a different dynamic than regular tours with a large number of passengers.

It is an ideal alternative for those looking to explore Tigre and San Isidro with a more exclusive experience , combining sailing and walking tours without the need to hire a completely private service.

A very pleasant tour

Tigre is a very nice town located on Delta of the Paranà river, in Buenos Aires neighboorhood: it’s the perfect place to visit during the weekend. The tour consisted in a boat tour from Puerto Madero to Tigre. Along the Rio de la Plata we had one of the best views of Buenos Aires. In Tigre we walked around Puerto de Frutos, the old fruit market, and visit the Naval Museum. We returned to Buenos Aires by train. Special thanks to our guide, Carlos: he was very kind and exhaustive.

Great tours

We arranged a couple of great value tours with this local travel agent / tour operator. Easy to book and great choice of things to do, last minute arrangements were handled easily by the great staff. We went to polo match and a Tigre Delta tour with this company which were both fantastic. Given more time we would have done them all!

Excelent Tour to Tigre!

Very beautiful tour to Tigre (North of Buenos Aires)! It was amazing to navigate the Rio La Plata and the Delta as well. We really liked the Fruit Port and the food was great. It was also very good to get to know the Retiro Train Station, when we took the train back to the city. Me and my wife really enjoyed the whole experience!
