Itinerary
The Fruit Port is a small pier on the banks of the Luján River in the town of Tigre, next to which the fruit market is located. They owe their names to the fact that until the middle of the 20th century, fruit production from the Paraná Delta landed there, which was then marketed in the city of Buenos Aires.
Paseo Victorica is an exceptional place, combining nature, river views, gastronomy, rowing clubs and historical landmarks.
The Cathedral of San Isidro is a religious temple of neogothic style. It adopted forms of said style used in Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries, the only difference being that modern materials and techniques were used. The most characteristic of the Cathedral are its slender lines designed from the religiosity so that they point towards the sky. Its facade was restored with imitation stone and exposed brick with tasks of molding the original ornaments in a workshop. Its main tower is 68 m high. Its base is a Latin cross with three naves with a circular apse. The columns are cylindrical and the stone and brick walls have openings with stained glass made in France and Gothic rosettes. Upon entering the Cathedral, its grandeur can be appreciated through its forms that stand out from its last restoration. Inside you can see the neo-Gothic style columns and arches that take you to the altar.

After hearing from several people that we needed to visit the Tigre Delta we booked an afternoon private tour. We drove from the city center through Ave Libertador which was a very nice scenery, we stopped at San Isidro and saw the church and then proceeded to take a catamaran boat tour on the rivers Sarmientos and San Antonio. We were unable to walk around the San Fernando port area nor stop for lunch but it was a beautiful scenery.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the scenic journey to the Tigre Delta and the boat ride through its beautiful rivers. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the stops, as it helps us continue improving the overall experience. Thank you for sharing your experience! Team DePasseios.
Julian was a great guide, we enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot about the city. We felt very safe riding around Buenos Aires.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear you had a great time exploring the Tigre Delta with Rafa. His knowledge of the area truly helps make the experience even more enjoyable. We really appreciate your recommendation! Team DePasseios.
The boat ride on the Tigre Delta (about 100 passengers n the boat) was pleasant and interesting. The "private tour" aspect was transportation to and from our hotel. Four of us were crammed uncomfortably into a small car. The driver spoke very little English, so there was not a lot of commentary about the sites in between the hotel and boat ride. Main activity was to try to sell us on a stop where we were supposed to purchase leather goods. We turned it down. In sum, would have been better to take a big bus tour.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the Tigre Delta boat ride pleasant and interesting. At the same time, we truly appreciate your comments regarding the transportation and communication during the transfer, as this helps us continue improving the overall experience for our guests. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Team DePasseios.
We booked with Depasseios LLC (dp) for a city tour through Get Your Guide, and we had a great experience. Because of this, we went directly to the dp website to book the Tigre Delta tour. What a different experience, and not in a good way. They lost our reservation, and no tour guide showed up to pick us up at the scheduled time of 9am. Fortunately, we still had Luca, our city tour guide, on WhatsApp, and he was able to make contact with the office (none of the numbers we were provided with for dp worked), and they scrambled to find a guide for us who arrived at 10:15 am. The great news is that Diego, our eventual tour guide, was fantastic! We made it to Tigre by noon for the river tour, and we still had a successful day. At the end of the tour, Diego introduced us to El Ateneo Grand Splendid, an opera house converted into a bookstore, which we would have never found without Diego. So my rating is a 5 for Diego, and a 1 for Depasseios LLC, the tour company. That averages out to a 3.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the confusion and delay with your Tigre Delta booking—this is not the experience we aim to provide. We appreciate your patience and are glad Luca could help us reconnect and that Diego was able to step in and deliver a great tour. Your comments help us improve our processes. **Depasseios Team**

This tour wasn’t what we expected. The guide picked us up at our hotel and drove us to Tigre. The guide seemed surprised that we expected him to get on the boat with us. He was just going to wait on the pier. Good thing he came, because the boat narrator didn’t say anything in English. Our guide was able to tell us what she said. The Tigre delta was not very picturesque. Mainly old houses along the river, most in bad repair.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. We appreciate you highlighting the importance of having the guide accompany guests during the boat navigation, especially for English explanations, and we’re glad the guide was able to assist in translating the narration. Team DePasseios.

Maurice was our guide and did a great job. He showed us the sites on the way to Tigre. The boat trip was very nice. It makes a loop through the delta. Very pretty area. We had beautiful weather for a boat ride. Lots of shade on the top level to enjoy the views. I highly recommend!
