Off the beaten path with Ezekiel - Ezekiel as our guide was extremely knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. We saw some sights not included in standard tours. He connected with all of us (2 couples), each on a personal level. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour which was largely due to Ezekiel. We highly recommend!

Great tour, great guide! Would highly recommend. - Ezequiel was an amazing tour guide. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, on time. He understood our interests and was able to make adjustments along the way...we got way more out of this tour than we expected. We saw the oldest church in it's original form, a massive book store in a gorgeous building, and many more sights. He is extremely knowledgeable, not only about Buenos Aires, but his country in general. The Tigre Delta river tour was fantastic...yes it was super busy, it was a Saturday afternoon and many locals were on our boat, a really good sign that it's well worth it. Ezequiel joined us aboard and translated for us, which we really appreciated. We were on a vintage river boat that was very well kept and saw some really interesting sites as we navigated through the main river and side tributaries. Afterward, he introduced us to a local vendor who sells delicious hand made Empanadas...they were so good! If you're ever in the area, I would highly recommend this tour and Ezequiel!

Tigre Delta with Max - In most of my reviews, I talk about the benefits of private tours versus coach tours. This one was another good example. Private tours offer a level of flexibility and personal human connection that you cannot achieve in the large coach tours offered by most cruse lines. On a private tour, you will never be stuck on a bus waiting for those last two people to finally show up. If you are concerned with getting back to your ship on time, don't be. A good private tour operator stakes his reputation on making sure you get back in time. Since this was our second day in Buenos Aires and we had already done a city tour, we decided to go with Max from Depasseios on a tour of the Tigre Delta. He is a very personable and knowledgeable young man with very good English skills. He was assisted by a driver whose name, I am sorry, I do not remember. Max is an excellent guide, and he told us much about the area and its history. On the route to Tigre, he told us all about various buildings and places that we passed, including at a stop along the way at the Cathedral in San Isidro. Our principal stop was at the Puerto de Frutos, which is was formerly a port for importing fruit (as the name implies). It is now a shopping area specializing in various handicrafts. It is somewhat touristic but catering mostly to local visitors. The featured highlight of the trip was a scenic boast ride through the delta. Max rode along with us, and translated the narration which was only in Spanish; as I said, their focus is more on local visitors. Along the river next to Puerto de Frutos were museums, shops, kayak rentals and even an amusement park. The islands through the delta are home to campsites and parks and vacation homes. It sort of remined me of Lake Travis near Austin, or perhaps Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. After the boat ride, my wife wanted ice cream. Argentinian ice cream is very rich and delicious, almost like Italian gelato. Max and our driver found an excellent shop along the river, where all four of us enjoyed some wonderful ice cream. This is a perfect example of the flexibility of a private tour, as I mentioned earlier. On a coach tour, we could never have done this. Thank you, Max! And please pass my thanks to your colleague who drove (and if you can send us his name, I will update this review.)

Nice Tigre delta cruise with entertaining guide on Christmas Eve - Our guide Nahuel was great. It was Christmas Eve when no other people were working and he picked us up at our hotel on time at 8am as requested. He’s charming and nice to talk to. The reason the tour wasn’t a 5 star is because on Christmas Eve most shops at Puerto de Frutos and the Tigre Art Museum were closed, leaving not much to do during the time in town. And despite a bit of car trouble, our guide made alternate arrangement to go along with us shopping while roadside assistance was servicing the car. Also because of Christmas Eve, the earliest cruise on the River Delta didn’t start until 12pm. Despite all these challenges, he reversed the itinerary so we still had a very enjoyable time. The cruise itself was nice and relaxing. The rural scenery of the water front houses on the delta is beautiful. During the tour we had very entertaining conversations with Nahuel and we became friends at the end of the tour.

Not what we expected - The navigation was not private. There were about twenty other people on the boat. Never received any refreshments or snacks.

I feel cheated by the tour operator. - I received a private WhatsApp message from the tour operator after inquiring about the city tour. They sold me a 5-hour tour with walking, sightseeing, and a boat ride, showing a picture of a big boat. However, they asked for direct payment instead of using Trip Advisor/Viator, which raised concerns. The tour cost $180 for two people. The driver was late, and the tour didn't last 4 hours (2 hours were spent driving). The driver put us on a public boat tour costing 8,000 pesos per ticket (under $8 USD). The boat tour lasted only 1 hour. Afterwards, the driver took us back. The tour didn't include a leisurely walk, church visit, or cobblestone walk as advertised. The driver's English was limited. A picture comparison shows what was promised versus what was delivered. I feel deceived and disappointed. Our time was wasted. If I use Uber for a ride to the boat, it will Cost us about $30 one way.
