Highlights
  • Puerto Madero - Unique coastal walk along the Río de la Plata, with a duration of 1 hour and 50 minutes approx. in which we will navigate enjoying the views of downtown Buenos Aires, Jorge Newbery Airport, University City, the northern area of the city of Buenos Aires: Vicente López, Olivos, Martínez, the cathedral and San Isidro ravines, to then enter the first section of the Paraná Delta. We will enter through the San Antonio Rivers, the “Tres Bocas” area and then the Sarmiento River, along the route we will see recognized attractions such as the Casa Sarmiento Museum, recreation areas and typical inns of the area, private houses, docks, native vegetation of the Delta, and the particular island life. We will arrive at the River Station in Tigre, where we can enjoy what the city has to offer us.
    The service on our boats includes audio-guide in Spanish, English and Portuguese.
  • Puerto de Frutos - The Fruit Port is a small pier on the banks of the Luján River in the town of Tigre, next to which the fruit market is located. They owe their names to the fact that until the middle of the 20th century, fruit production from the Paraná Delta landed there, which was then marketed in the city of Buenos Aires.
  • Paseo Victorica - Paseo Victorica is an exceptional place, combining nature, river views, gastronomy, rowing clubs and historical landmarks.
  • Catedral de San Isidro - The Cathedral of San Isidro is a religious temple of neogothic style. It adopted forms of said style used in Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries, the only difference being that modern materials and techniques were used. The most characteristic of the Cathedral are its slender lines designed from the religiosity so that they point towards the sky. Its facade was restored with imitation stone and exposed brick with tasks of molding the original ornaments in a workshop.

Its main tower is 68 m high. Its base is a Latin cross with three naves with a circular apse. The columns are cylindrical and the stone and brick walls have openings with stained glass made in France and Gothic rosettes.

Upon entering the Cathedral, its grandeur can be appreciated through its forms that stand out from its last restoration. Inside you can see the neo-Gothic style columns and arches that take you to the altar.

A day with Diego - Our guide Diego was knowledgeable and shared interesting history on our car ride to the boat, pointing out neighborhoods and buildings. He took us to a wonderful Gelato place as well and was waiting for us as promised when we got off the boat tour. Diego also recommended the best restaurants in the city and was happy to answer all our questions. We recommend this tour!

Fun trip. Exceptional Driver - We booked at the very last minute but Fred was ready bright and early to drive us to Tigre. He was an absolutely wonderful guide, with perfect English, lots of knowledge about history and landmarks plus great stories and tips about how things work in Argentina. It was raining, so it was a little hard to see on the 1 hour boat tour, but we still really enjoyed it - especially the replica of the former president's house encased in glass. Afterwards, at our request Fred took us to Tigre stadium so we could buy some jerseys & we were lucky enough to get in to see the pitch! Then to San Isidro to see the gothic church and cute square. Recommend - if you can get Fred!

Recommended excursion, competent guide - Great trip with interesting stops. The best part was our guide Juan. We got a lot of valuable information and were able to ask lots of questions. Juan has a very good knowledge of German. Definitely recommended. We went on a Friday morning, there was a lot less going on than at the weekend and so it was more pleasant.

Great Guide! - Our guide, Dario, was great; very personable and good sense of humor. Not especially enthused with the boat cruise. Traffic on the way back into town was awful; took 1 1/2 hours to get back. Not Derios fault, it was construction. Overall, I would rate the guide Dario, 9 of 10, and the tour itself a 7.

We absolutely loved the... - We absolutely loved the boat ride and the market in Tigre. The tour just seemed like a lot of money with very little tour. Our tour guide did not offer up much information about the areas we were in and it was more like a driver to take us to the boat and pick us up. It was a good experience overall, but it would have been nice to have a real tour with the guide.

Avoid the Delta tour - But Diego the tour guide was GREAT! - Tour guide Diego was excellent. Passionate, knowledgeable, friendly and went the extra distance to make us comfortable. The tour itself was just “flat”. Nothing special on the river and other sightseeing locations.
