About this experience
A relaxing day trip to the Tigre Delta is a beautiful contrast to the action of Buenos Aires. This 7 hour private experience includes transportation to & from Tigre, an hour-long boat trip through the world's 5th largest delta system (admission is included as part of the tour fee), lunch at one of Tigre's most beautiful riverside restaurants (not included in tour price), a tour of the Tigre Art Gallery (in one of Argentina's most stunning architectural masterpieces), & strolls through the extensive waterside market: The Puerto de Frutos, and the Paseo Victoria. This tour allows you to see all the main attractions of Tigre in 1 full & relaxing day trip.
This tour is run by 'To Be in Buenos Aires', owned & operated by a prairie girl from Western Canada whose Argentine journey all started years ago, so innocently, with tango...
