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!
