The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

The opportunity to see the glaciers up close and to trek on them was definitely a bucket list activity! From the moment you strap on those crampons, you know you are in for a once in a lifetime experience. The guides were great and you even finished the trek with a glass of whisky on glacier ice. This was not a strenuous trek so I think anyone could take it on - we even saw a man who seemed to have cerebal palsy and he had two guides assist him and was able to complete the trek.

We chose Patrick for his rave reviews and we were not disappointed. Patrick picked us up at the ship after our cruise (6 of us with lots of luggage) . A spacious van awaited us with our private driver who stayed with our luggage when we stopped to sight see with Patrick. Patrick knows Buenos Aires and treated us royally. The best fun was when he found a small out of the way restaurant in La Boca called El Gran Paraiso for lunch. Talk about local flavor....the wine was awesome. We had steak and sausage cooked on the grill... the best steak I've ever had. Patrick took us to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Our cruise ended March 7, 2020 just as the Coronavirus was heating up and Patrick had many future cancellations. We hope that he's doing well and that people will once again begin to travel. If you get to Buenos Aires, you must call Patrick - in fact get him in advance because he's a rare find! Great job Patrick...thanks for the wonderful day and hope you're well!

We were taking a cruise out of Buenos Aires and wanted both a ride to the port and a tour of the city. Setting the tour up with John was super easy. Unfortunately, our flight times were changed but the 737 Max grounding and then once we arrived in Argentina it took us hours to get through customs. John was so patient and accommodated all of the changes. He helped us get currency at a good rate and buy wine to take on our cruise. We walked around the colorful neighborhood of La Boca and saw many of the cities monuments. The best part was the historical narrative that John provided with the memorials and landmarks we visited. Monumento a las Víctimas del Terrorismo de Estado Park, Recoleta Cemetery, the Presidential Palace and the Plaza de Mayo. It's a fascinating city with evidence of the country's dark history. Certainly images I won't forget.

Howard waited patiently for my wife and me at the airport even though there was a very long delay in passport control. He gave us an insider's perspective of the BA history, culture, and cuisine. In addition to all the must-see highlights (walking tours of Recoleta Cemetary and la Boca, monuments/statues), he showed us the memorial park dedicated to Argentina's "The Disappeared", a very moving experience. When I told Howard I collected Hard Rock T-shirts, he drove us to the store, helped me buy the right shirt, and even took photos of me in front of the store! My wife and I loved walking along la Boca, where Howard seemed to know many of the vendors, as he introduced us to them. Howard showed us a nearby place for lunch, where we had parilladas, an awesome BBQ meat-lovers meal. Howard toured with us the the entire day, dropping us off at our hotel. Thank you for a wonderful day in BA!

In late February 2020, just before the world changed due to Covid 19! We did two tours with Biking Buenos Aires. I pre booked and pre paid the tours. The first day we did the full City Tour. It was one of the best City tours I have ever done. We learnt so much about the history of the city and Argentina. The guide was top class. We visited all the sights we wanted to see. It was a first class day out and highly recommended. The city is flat so even though I am in my 60s it was not a problem. The next day we did the Tigra Delta Bike & Kayak. Again, a fabulous day out. Going on the bikes, taking the local train and then the Kayak. On these tours you get to see things you can never experience if you’re on a coach trip. When you can visit again, use this company. Top Class Professionals. Thank you Biking Buenos Aires, Good Luck and stay safe!
