Lots to see - My tour guide was Micaela and she was great! The driver drove safely. One thing to note, Recoleta Cemetery is not included in the tour, but you can end the tour there if you want. If you don't include the snack when you purchase admission ticket but you decide you want to later, you can order and pay at the restaurant. A lot of the stops listed on this tour are "drive by" stops, including the Floralis Generica, so there isn't very much walking and/or standing.

Amazing Guide and Tour! - We had a wonderful tour with Agustina as our guide. She showed us the highlight of Buenos Aires. She made the tour interesting and gave us enough time to spend in famous sites. We were lucky to have her as our guide!

My City Tour of Rio - We enjoyed our City Tour of Buenos Aires with Sophia our Tour Guide who is very professional, knowledgeable and knew her stuff. Our driver Fabio drives smoothly. This City Tour is worth it. I recommend this tour to everyone.

You get allot for 5 hours - It seems like it's not enough but you surly get allot of information and the most importante sights in Buenos Aires. The guide gave good and concise information and it makes you eager to learn more about the rich history and culture of the city. Only improvement point is for the driver to slow down a bit at some sights that will make it easier to get take some photos.

Good superficial intro to city of BA - Tour started 30 minutes late and finished 30 minutes sooner so truly a 4 hour tour. Some spots had way too long time while others rushed. Title of tour “walking tour “ bit misleading although pleasant surprise to have a bus to hop off and on instead of walking entire time. Guide - Franco was very friendly and informative.

The tour wasnt too bad,... - The tour wasnt too bad, the guide knew a lot about the city. The only downfall of the tour was that everyone was pressured into going on the "Navigation" of which wasnt part of the tour. Eventually all bar 2 people agreed to do this at the additional cost, of which the actual trip on the Navigation was less than poor. No information about it, ssentially just a tour through a dirty river in an industrial area that ends up at the yacht club. This was by far the worst part of any tour that I did during our stay in Buenos Aires.
