Very good - Wellkept ferries across Rio de la Plata with very professional and competent crews that made us feel very safe on our journey

Nice place - The ferry itself was no issue. However when I got to Colonia, there was no tour operator there to meet me- I contacted the company and the said there was a mistake so there was no tour. However the place is nice and small so I hit all the spots they would have without any problem- it was really nice and beautiful weather. But the tour is going to reimburse me for the tour portion of the trip

Tourist trap - Transfer there and back a total of 7.5 hours, including 1 hour queuing per trip. The tour very short, 30 minutes instead of 90 minutes. We were only brought with another Greek tour group in a bus outside the old town. Had to wait there for 15 minutes. Our guide was very unfriendly . Restaurant El Refugio is a tourist-only restaurant. Don't touch the menu, it wasn't worth his money. The drinks were completely overpriced. 2 lemonades and a water 40$.

Do not book this tour. We... - Do not book this tour. We had a Spanish-speaking tour guide and it was supposed to be Spanish and English and she’s spoken in English for about 1/4 of the time unfortunately that was not her fault as there was no English speaking tour guide available that day the tour is only one hour and we got about 15 minutes of information. This trip is posted as a 8 to 12 hour trip and there’s only one hour of a guide if the person actually just doesn’t English, there’s not much to see in the area and it’s a long trip. The boat ride was very nice. This should be a half day trip not a full day trip and they don’t ask you what time you wanna come back and just book you on the last ferry we had to pay an additional $70 to come back on the 415 ferry as opposed to the 6 o’clock ferry. This goes down as the worst Viator trip that we have ever booked.
