Our driver Pedro was very good and had driven us by many features in hemodialysis Aires before and after the delta tour. Pedro was very good driving. Was personable and very tourist friendly. A credit to Viatour. The delta tour was very interesting, narrated in both Spanish and English. Pedro accompanied us on the delta tour and added toourunderstanding of the area.
Our tour guide was Patrick, who runs the Company.
Our trip was for a cruise debarkation day, so we needed to arrange to be picked up at the Port and dropped off at EZE airport. Communication was great -- we sent several messages by Whats App -- to arrange the time. Also, while we arranged a tour for two of us, the company showed flexibility allowing us to increase to 4 (with a modest per-person charge for the other two) -- on a couple of day's notice, we could have made it a larger group. The point was that Patrick was willing to do whatever was necessary to ensure that it met our needs.
Also, Patrick knew EVERYONE. He was able to call in advance to make sure we had reservations on the boat, and when the restaurant we wanted to go to was booked solid, he was able to talk to the people there and get us a table.
On the day of the trip, we exchanged a couple more texts to confirm when we were leaving the ship. When we exited the terminal at 9:15 am, Patrick was waiting there with a sign with my name on it.
The vehicle he used had seats for 4 and adequate space for each of us to have one piece of checked luggage plus a carry-on.
The tour itself was perfect -- although we hadn't, we were asked if there was anything we wanted to see in town. I asked for a stop at the Rose Gardens (one of my favorite places in Buenos Aires and not included on all city tours), he took us there. Then after a drive through the city, we headed north towards Tigre.
Our first stop was at a local beach, which had a beautiful panoramic view of Buenos Aires. As it was a holiday (Good Friday), there were many families, also quite a number of people fishing off the beach. They were more than willing to pose for pictures with the fish they had caught.
Next Stop -- San Isidro -- a local village with its own Cathedral. We stopped for Ice Cream at a local store, and could have taken pictures in the Cathedral, but there was a service going on, and we chose not to interrupt or interfere with the religious observance.
After San Isidro, we made our way to Tigre for a River Delta Ride. Our cruise was on a boat that caters to the Argentinians -- I think we were the only Foreigners on board, so we shared our ride with locals and families out for an outing on the Holiday. The only downside to this was that the commentary was in Spanish -- but Patrick filled us in on the highlights so we didn't feel that we missed anything.
After the cruise, we were offered a tour of the local market, but since it was approaching 2:00 we opted to go to a local restaurant for a leisurely lunch.
This was followed by a drop-off at the airport at about 5:00 in plenty of time for check-in for our flight.
One final point -- this was offered as a 6 hour tour. In fact we were with our guide for nearly 8 hours. I don't know whether every guide will give the extra time (and it might depend on what plans they had for later in the day), but in our case, Patrick was more concerned with our good time than keeping an overly tight schedule.
Overall, a great experience, and I highly recommend Buenos Aires Touring.
