Explore Tigre Delta by private boat, with quiet canals, local island life, birdwatching, swimming, and Buenos Aires views from the Rio de la Plata.
“A wonderful experience to see the real locals living in this beautiful country, so much more than just looking at the cities, Etienne was a great guide for this tour and he was happy to change the tour to suit your needs.”
Explore Tigre Delta by speedboat, spot wildlife, try water skiing, and stop at a local restaurant on this private Buenos Aires river tour.
“BEST TOUR!!! Our captain and guide were the most wonderful father son duo who expertly cruised us around Rio de la Plata and more. They pointed out different animal and plant species and took us to lunch off the beaten path at a fantastic family run local restaurant where we had incredible empanadas, and even had an impromptu tango lesson! A truly beautiful day, spent with wonderful people. A MUST DO when visiting Buenos Aires! 10/10”

“It was a great opportunity to see some of the local wildlife and scenery. My guide was very knowledgeable and anxious to share his information about the local, geology and wildlife.”
Taste Mendoza across four restaurants, from rooftop wine to vermouth and family-style cooking, with local history and small-group guidance.
“Our tour guide was charming and knew a good bit of history. One of the stops was closed and we ended up going back to another stop to compensate for it, which was a restaurant that specialized in vermouth. Definitely not our favorite.”
Explore Patagonia by 4x4 from El Calafate, spotting wildlife, fossilized oysters and Tehuelche burial sites before a meal at a ranch house.
“The drive through the very beautiful scenery and the creature search was a great experience. And that lunch was too awesome! First of all, the house where we had our meal is really lovely. The kittens, the fireplace, the delicious food. The view from the large windows was like a painting. We really had a dreamy time. I recommend it. ！！！！”
Sail within 400 meters of Perito Moreno Glacier, watch ice calve, and touch fresh iceberg pieces on a one-hour bilingual boat trip.

Review of Tigre’s private Biosphere Reserve boat tour, with small canals, wildlife, Río de la Plata views, local food, and practical booking tips.

Review of El Calafate’s Blue Safari to Perito Moreno Glacier, with a forest hike, close boat views, walkways, costs, and practical tips.
“Such an awesome and unique experience! The water was extremely cold though, even with a wetsuit (beginning of November), so be prepared. Maybe thicker wetsuits is something to have on board. The seals were curious and friendly, and you can swim really close to them! The guide was super nice and enthusiastic about the history of the place and the local fauna, he spoke pretty good English. We got to see several other islands on the way to the sea lions, which was a great addition to the tour. Do take the sea sickness pill that they offer in the beginning, as the sea can be quite rough!”
Explore four top Mendoza bars in one night, with sunset views, four cocktails, paired dishes, local history, and an expert guide.
“La guía Antonella es excelente, mantiene la conversación activa e interesante. Los bares todos muy buenos, los cócteles sabrosos, la comida muy buena aunque no es una cena completa, sino una serie de bocadillos. Definitivamente recomendada”
Visit Perito Moreno Glacier from El Calafate, then sail Lake Rico for a close view of its towering south wall.
“Sería mejor tener más tiempo en los glaciares. Uno disfruta mucho su alrededor y no quedó tiempo para hacerlo. Un ahora más sería mejor.”
