Avoid!!! / Avoid it!!!

If you are an organized person or value your time, avoid this tour operator. Our pickup was scheduled for 9:15 a.m. at the hotel. We arrived early and notified them at 9:17 a.m. that we were waiting. There was no response. We sent messages and made multiple phone calls over the next 45 minutes — all unanswered. After more than an hour, they finally picked up the phone and told us we were marked as a “no show.” My husband spent 15 minutes explaining that we had been at the hotel the entire time. Instead of acknowledging their failure or checking facts, they continued to argue that we were not there. No attempt was made to send transportation, offer a solution, or take responsibility. We were also told that joining the tour later would not be honored. As a result, our day was disrupted, and we were forced to dispute the charge instead of enjoying our vacation. There are many well-run, enjoyable activities available here — we experienced several. Unfortunately, this tour was not one of them, and the lack of professionalism and customer service was unacceptable. If you are an organized person or value your time, avoid this tour operator.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The pickup time was clearly indicated in the confirmed itinerary. Our guide and driver went to the Howard Johnson Plaza by Wyndham Buenos Aires at the scheduled time, and the hotel concierge kindly assisted in trying to locate the passengers, confirming that they were not present in the hotel lobby, ground floor, or in their room at that moment. Despite this, and in order to avoid the passengers missing the tour, our agency offered an alternative solution so they could join the group at a nearby point. Unfortunately, this option was declined, as the request focused solely on a refund, which was not applicable under these circumstances. With nearly 15 years of experience as an agency, we are committed to assisting our passengers in line with the service quality standards that define our long-standing trajectory. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify this situation within this review. Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de compartir su experiencia. El horario de recogida estaba claramente indicado en el itinerario confirmado. Nuestro guía y chofer se presentaron en el Howard Johnson Plaza by Wyndham Buenos Aires en el horario establecido, y la conserjería del hotel colaboró amablemente en el intento de localizar a los pasajeros, confirmando que no se encontraban en el lobby del hotel, en la planta baja ni en su habitación en ese momento. Aun así, y con el objetivo de evitar que los pasajeros perdieran el tour, desde nuestra agencia se ofreció una solución alternativa para que pudieran unirse al grupo en un punto cercano. Lamentablemente, esta opción fue rechazada, ya que el pedido se centró únicamente en un reembolso, el cual no correspondía bajo estas circunstancias. Con casi 15 años de experiencia como agencia, estamos comprometidos a asistir a nuestros pasajeros de acuerdo con los estándares de calidad de servicio que definen nuestra trayectoria. Agradecemos la oportunidad de aclarar esta situación en esta reseña.

Lacklustre at best!

We are a group of 5 Canadians who have travelled extensively. This tour was sold as small group max. 5 people. When we met the guide we found we were to be in a group of 16. We were on a small bus. The guide spoke very quickly in both Spanish and English leaving no time for questions about sites seen. We get off the bus on 4 occasions. The guide said you have 30 minutes go look at this or that. She never came with us to give explanation. We don’t speak or read Spanish, all signs were in Spanish we had no idea what we were seeing. Seemed like the guide was more interested in chatting with the other guides/friends at each stop. We saw some interesting sites but the tour was very lacklustre.

City tour in a foreign language

It was very nice and the tour guide was very friendly. Unfortunately, English was not spoken, as booked, only Spanish. She made an effort to speak slowly, but sometimes it was very difficult for us to understand everything. The meal afterwards, which you could book with the tour, was excellent.

Not an English, Semi-Private Tour as Promoted

Booked a “semi-private”, English speaking tour. My wife and I were the only two English speakers on the tour, the other 16 people on this semi-private tour were Spanish speakers. The first hour of this 5 hour tour was picking up the other 16 passengers. Our guide apologized for his voice, stating he was sick and proceeded to cough on us the entire trip. Many of the sites weren’t open due to a holiday. Would have seen more and gotten a better narrative on the Hop On- Hop Off bus for a tenth of the expense.

Loved this Tour!

Marina provided a world class tour! We had a wonderful time! The van was comfortable. Communication was easy. The sites were memorable. She gave us ample time to enjoy each stop and get great pictures. She was well versed and educated about the city. I was a little surprised the cemetery was not included, but she accommodated us with a nearby drop off at the end of the tour. I Highly Recommend this tour.

Best tour guide ever!

Laura picked us up right on time at our hotel. She then picked up a few more and then we were off to see the city. She spoke perfect spanish(of course) and her english was excellent. I am also bilingual but I can't do what she does, explain everything in both languages sentence after sentence. Kudos to her.
