It gets interesting while in the “canals” of the river because there isn’t much to see prior to that. The audio is not synced on the boat when providing descriptions which makes it pointless. I wish we had more time in Puerto Frutos because you can’t do much in 30mn… also the boat is only a one way trip, bus for the other way, which should be better described. Nice excursion otherwise.

Puntualidad en los puntos de encuentro. El viaje súper ameno y dirigido por la persona guía que nos tocó. Te llevan y te van indicando y explicando cada uno de los lugares al que te llevan. Recomendado sin duda si quieres conocer Tigre. ¡Gracias por el recorrido!

Nice relaxing boat trip. Beware during the week many of the shops in the Tigre market are closed and there is limited time to shop. The guide Juliana was very good and conducted the tour in 3 languages. All was good, until they dropped us off at the wrong stop
