Top 10 Cultural Tours in Province of Buenos Aires, Central Argentina

November 13, 2021 Marissa Gamble

Buenos Aires (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbwenos ˈaiɾes], Provincia de Buenos Aires; English: "good airs") is the largest and most populous Argentinian province. It takes the name from the city of Buenos Aires, which used to be part of the province and the provincial capital until it was federalized in 1880. Since then, in spite of bearing the same name, the province does not include the national capital city proper, though it does include all other localities of the Greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area surrounding it. The current capital of the province is the city of La Plata, founded in 1882.

I Do not recommend this company I did a pre-planned day trip of Argentina. It was arranged they pick me up from nearby hotel. I msg to confirm and they changed the plans and I had to meet there which wasn’t Easy to find. I attempted many times to contact them via the phone numbers they provided and concierge also attempted, but they never responded. Then I only got half the tour. Try other more reliable and reputable companies.

I love this theatre, it’s by far the most elegant one that I’ve seen in Buenos Aires. I did have the cena tango show package and it was amazing! I didn’t like the wine as much but the dessert were espectacular!

Not worth it, I'm afraid. Too expensive to get to see just one of the glaciers, the Spegazzini one. (The Upsala glacier can only be seen from afar, as it's deemed too risky to approach). The journey was too long and quite uncomfortable (the ferry I took was the Quo Vadis). Too many people travelling. The ferry was 80% full in Covid times, which I found unsensible and irresponsible. We could not choose where to sit or change seats afterwards. The Spegazzini refuge is partly open. You can take a (rather short) walk in the woods, but the café/restaurant/toilet area is (still) closed and looks quite derelict. I've taken other tours in the area (Perito Moreno Glacier/ Canal Beagle/Full day at Chalten) and they were less expensive, better organised and far more enjoyable than this one.

Hola!!! I can't say enough great things about Pat. I took this tour solo and had the best time!!! He is a great historian, but more importantly I felt very comfortable with him one-on-one. He went above and beyond to make this one of the best tours that I have ever experienced. People will say that you can go on your own, DON'T-go with Pat and you will not only have the best experience, but see everything that El Tigre has to offer. You won't be disappointed, it was worth every penny!!!!!

It was a great way to visit an amazingly rich and intense city such as Buenos Aires in those special Covid-19 times.  Our tour guide, Nicolas, was nothing short of incredible. He was a fountain of information, he kept things interesting, and he was an absolute joy to be around the city after more than 30 years. Thank you very much.  Dina and Daniel

Thank you Juan, for an interesting tour, with a good walk around San Telmo that you know and love so well. You had a good balance of facts, history and good pointers about a hat shop, record store, Parrilla restaurant and bars. Your size of tour was perfect- not too large and that gave us time to talk together over the wonderful cold beer and treats.

We really enjoyed this virtual live experience all together. And even-though we decided to "only" watch, due to the time difference (after dinner for us), we had a great time learning more about how to properly cook Empanadas. Thanks again to Camila for making it very interesting, "tasteful"and fun and giving us the chance to discover the world of Empanadas and also sharing insights about Argentina with us.
