I'd do it again - You go to many of the most important spots in the city. Veronica and Jorge were really good. Very kind, clear explanation. We had quick stops but with enough time to visit Caminito, the Cathedral. You don't go inside Recoleta Cemetery just to let you know. Teatro Colon visit was amazing!

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.

Very Enjoyable Tour - Our guide, Daiana, was excellent. She shared a wealth of knowledge about all of the sites we visited and those she pointed out during the tour. She also shared quite a bit of information about Argentina’s history. She was very helpful making sure we had our tickets for the theatre. Our only complaint was that there were only two Spanish-only speaking people on the tour and she spent half of the time speaking to them after her commentary in English. It would have been better to have one tour in English and one in Spanish. In all we really enjoyed learning about Buenos Aires.

Great guide for Buenos Aires city tour. - Heraldo was an excellent guide showing and explaining all the important areas of Buenos Aires. As part of the tour, we were dropped off at the beautiful Colon Theater at the end of the city tour for a guided English group tour. The quide spoke too quickly and was difficult to understand.

Leone the best guide! - For those who want to know Buenos Aires within history is the best Enterprise! Especially the guide leone. The van goes by and stops by the main sights. They are on average 3 hours to 3 hours and a half of guide. The great thing about this Enterprise is that it's the only one that guides even at the cemetery. Super recommend!

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.

Mixed - My experience was mixed. I booked the tour primarily for the Teatro Colon tour. I was told close to the end of the tour I would not be getting that tour - no ticket available. The tour around the Pink House and Cathedral was great. As was the stop in Boca. I was looking forward to seeing Recolta - but if I wanted to see Recollta that would be where my tour ended. That was disappointing. A big plus was pick-up and drop-off at my hotel.

Not what was promised - The tour was a nice overview of many of the most noteworthy sites and buildings in this impressive city. The guide did a very nice job explaining things. HOWEVER, our ticket very clearly stated we would be dropped at the pickup point at the end of the tour. The tour dropped us at the theater for that part of the tour and then said we were ON OUR OWN to find our way back to our cruise ship. This was a complete surprise to us. We figured it out with a taxi, but this isn’t what was promised. (The tickets did say no final hotel drop off was included, but we were picked up at our cruise ship.). Buyer beware.

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.
