Tigre Delta Day Trip from Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Don't miss out on the opportunity to visit the must-see Tigre area while you're in Buenos Aires. You'll take a picturesque boat ride along the Rio de la Plata and visit the extraordinary ecological area of the Parana River delta.

Departing from Buenos Aires, you'll take in picturesque views as you travel aboard a motor coach until reaching the city of Tigre. If you've chosen one of the half-day options, you'll begin your sail immediately and enjoy a ride along the Rio de la Plata river.

If you've chosen the full-day option, you'll first tour the city of Tigre by bus, taking in the sights as your guide points out famous landmarks and areas of interest. Then, head over to the Villa Julia for a delicious Argentinian lunch before jumping aboard the boat for your return sail along the Rio de la Plata river.

The luxurious homes and attractive coastline of this lovely area are located only 18 miles (30km) north of Buenos Aires, so you have no excuse not to visit Tigre!

From the hotel pickup to the return, we thoughoroly enjoyed the tour. The guide gave us a real insight to the Tigre area and the Delta. His knowledge was good and he was very informative. The lunch was good value for money and very typical. The return trip again was informative and interesting and we arrived home after having a wonderful experience. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience the River Plate and its many islands.

Great trip and well organised. The only awkward bit is after booking on line the e mail invites you to phone locally to arrange transport pick up not easy as I don't speak Spanish and the guy didn't speak English, why could this not be done on line?

Too long stop for shopping. Sailing fine.

Not bad. They did not appear at the time mentioned in the email, but once I called them they turned up in 5 minutes.

We did the full day trip. Great day and good value. First part of the trip was spoilt by video camera man on bus who rambled on in Spanish for ages and we can't understand Spanish.

It was raining. So the impressions is different.

Another first rate trip._br/_ Included meal was excellent and set in beautiful garden near river._br/_ Very encompassing trip and interesting river trip back to town where taxi was waiting to take 2 tired but happy travellers home.

Review by: Kenneth W	December 2011
The local tour agent is responsive, has english-speaking agents on the phone, and hotel pick-up is hassle-free and on time. The tour guide can speak in excellent English and Spanish._br/_ The tour itself is highly-recommended, as it show-cases different facets of life and views of the river delta, that is distinct from the main Buenos Aires city.

Review by: Steve R	October 2011
We didn't speak Spanish and the other passengers did so most was in Spanish. The stop at the village was a waste would have been better served to have the extra time at Tigre peir.

Review by: Hauke S	October 2011
OK....a good trip to see something beside the big city....but nothing special out there in Tigre!

Review by: Martin S	August 2011
I really enjoyed the commentary provided by the guides on this tour. Out of season, Tigre itself wasn't all that interesting. If you're going when the weather's warm, this might be a more worthwhile trip because you'll be surrounded by people. The lunch provided was excellent and in a very nice restaurant. Again, I can't fault the tour.

Review by: Raymond S	August 2011
an interesting day and a nice place but perhaps I was left with too much time with nothing to do.

Review by: david t	July 2011
beautiful area of argentina, extremely different from the capital even though it is a short distant from it. if you have the time and would like to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city then its an easy trip to be on.

Review by: pete	June 2011
ride itself is 1 hr but tour just taken 3 1/2 hr...waste of time

Review by: kerry L	April 2011
This was a great tour - I really enjoyed getting out of downtown and seeing a different part of the city. I highly recommend doing the full-day version of this tour, because you get an excellent lunch and a nice relaxing boat ride back to downtown at the end of the day.

Review by: Anne L	March 2011
Very interesting half day. We didn't go on the train but were transported by a comfortable coach. Good guide and nice river trip.

Review by: John K	March 2011
hotel pick up and drive to tigre went well, but passed on to another tour and guide at tigre

Review by: Helen B	February 2011
Excellent. The driver was on time; we found him easily; he delivered us quickly, was friendly, etc.

Review by: ailsa g	January 2011
Great trip , we had to meet at another hotel so we got a taxi and then drove right past our hotel so not impressed also pickups took 2 hours apart from that the actual trip was ok ..very different from Buenos Aires city.

Review by: Jay M	January 2011
Commuter train ride to Tigre is nothing to speak of....quick trip...not much to see. Tigre is an outdoor shopping/eating mall reminiscent of any seaside spot in the U.S. Very sterile. Nothing to recommend this. In contrast, the boat ride up Parna River was enjoyable fun thing to do, especially on a hot day. It was very interesting to see how people live alongside the river. The guide for the Tigre trip was fine---nothng great. The guide who gave the tour on the Parna River was very good. This is a good trip to day if you have extra days in Buenos Aires....but would opt for frip to Colonia; an extra day in Buenos Aires, or the gaucha day trip over this.

tried to do too much, too long stay at shopping area. no seats on the train and no seats on the boat. crew on boat did a nice job. could not hear narrative on boat. English translation very limited.

Review by: Anders L	November 2010
The train ride in crowded cars is just half of the Tren de la Costa line. The stop at San Isidro without interest except for the cathedral. Boat ride up and down for one hour "on the Paraná River" shows only houses and hotels. Best part of this tour was lunch at the end after a long bus ride back to Puerto Madero.

Review by: Jennifer T	November 2010
I'm not sure I'd call standing on a train packed in like sardines a train tour. Guide and boat cuise was good .

Review by: Sharon	November 2010
Very enjoyable day, guide was excellent, and spoke in Spanish and English. Delightful way to get away from the city to relax

Review by: Geoffrey L	October 2010
It was OK, but as the only English speaking guests, perhaps we should have been warned of this. Our guide did a good job to assist us.

Review by: Candace A	September 2010
This was a pleasant half day trip. The bus does not take you back to your hotel, but stops at several central places. You may want to schedule this trip after you have had a few days to familiarize yourself with Buenos Aires.

Review by: Jilliene A, Australia	July 2010
This was a great trip, good value & lots of variety on the day. Would thoroughly recommend.

The tour is a great way to see more of Argentina. Nice, relaxing day. Lunch was actually good.

Review by: Kim W, Canada	April 2010
Our guide was wonderful, we loved the tour of the Tigre.

Review by: Keith W	April 2010
The tour showed a different part of BA. Time was wasted at the end of the train trip. There was no commentary outside on the boat trip. I did not receive a lunch voucher which I had paid for, but this was sorted out as the Viator voucher stated lunch included. Only 3 took lunch. Contary to expectations, after lunch transferred to hotel.

If you have been to Buenos Aires before and want to do something a little different, this is a great trip to take.

Review by: Angelika G, Germany	February 2010
Pickup and drop off at hotel were on time. The bus was new, cosy and clean. The guide spoke perfect english. The tour was well set up: bust-train-bus-ship-bus and everything worked well.

Review by: David B	February 2010
The ear-piercing noise on the bus was torture. I think it was a turn signal warning. I had to hold my ears.

Review by: Stefan A	February 2010
Nice half day trip to get out of the city!

Review by: Anonymous	January 2010
Very nice

Review by: Anonymous	January 2010
Fairly interesting, but if you have limited time in Buenos Aires then skip this tour.

Review by: Rissa S, Canada	December 2009
A nice way to see something outside the city of Buenos Aires. A concise afternoon tour, beautiful scenery, a fun train ride, a picturesque boat ride that shows how some people live in the area, all quite professionally offered.

Review by: Anonymous	December 2009
A very short rail trip with no explanation of what you are seeing. Tigre is very commercial and the boat ride was a joke unless you like viewing vacation homes and hotels. The agency was completely unresponsive and we didn't know if we were going or to be left behind. Much to Viator's credit a phone call seemed to fix things. Avoid this tour!

Review by: Lionel H	December 2009
Interesting.

Review by: Daniel R	November 2009
Great day trip outside of Buenos Aires. The tour included transport, train ride and boat ride. It was very nice.

Review by: Casey W	November 2009
Not much going on on this tour, the Tigre isn't really exciting, it's just modern houses on islands. The mall is not worth going to and you can not see the President's house, just the wall. Nice to get out of the city though and our guide was very nice.

Better than my expectation. Very enjoyable.

The tour was excellent.

Review by: Marlon B, United States of America	July 2008
Totally worth it! Argentina as a country is ok but thank god for Viator tours. We were picked up on time and had a blast! The train ride was my favorite. The food was beyond amazing! It was in the rich side of Buenos Aires called Puerto Madero. Totally worth it!
