A curated 5-hour small-group tour spanning Buenos Aires' most iconic neighbourhoods—from the tree-lined elegance of Recoleta to the passionate energy of La Boca and the contemporary waterfront of Puerto Madero. Ideal for cruise passengers, this premium excursion balances cultural landmarks with insider access to the city's evolving character.

In the center of the city we will pass through 9 de Julio Avenue, we will observe some of the most important points of interest such as the Colon Theater and the Obelisk. Upon reaching Plaza de Mayo, the Casa Rosada, the Cabildo and we will enter the Cathedral.

We will observe the colorful tenements, home to the Italian immigrants of the late 19th. century, the picturesque Caminito street that gives name to Carlos Gardel’s famous tango.
