“The tour of the North was great! It understandably has more time spent cycling as we leave & return closer to the South, but we still had a good amount of time hearing the history of each spot and were also given time to wonder around Tres de Febrero Park. Our guide Ana was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She also adjusted to the abilities of our group very well. The North tour gives a good “taste” of the areas and definitely encourages you to go back to fully enjoy spots like Palermo and Recoleta.”

“Absolutely disgraceful how Viator handled this activity: Booked and paid for 11:00 tour for two people Had to request entrance tickets from Viator and was then asked to switch to 1:00 a couple of hours before our departure fight from USA. Printed out ticket as instructed (1:30, not 1:00). Arrived at Teatro and was told ticket good for only one entrance!! I emailed Viator immediately and receive a response later on that the other ticket was sent via WhatsApp 3 hours prior to entrance time. Viator never told me that is how tickets would be delivered. Description clearly states it will be sent via email. Fighting for refund now!”
