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

Buenos Aires is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Puerto Madero river dinner cruise. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Plaza de Mayo and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Caminito street art (exterior) alone was worth the trip, but combined with Bosques de Palermo (Palermo Woods) this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
