Buenos Aires is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Teatro Colón guided tour. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Our trip to Buenos Aires was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Teatro Colón guided tour was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore tour in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.
