What people are saying about Buenos Aires

It is a nice day out if you are in Buenos Aires. We went during summer time (December) and the weather was beautiful, however you need plenty of suncreams as you spend most of the time walking around the town. The ferry ride was punctual and very comfortable. Uruguay it is quite expensive so make sure you plan your spendings there.

This was really fun and Maria was a good teacher. The class takes place in a very small apartment with a small kitchen, so we all had to take turns with some of the actual cooking tasks, but there was plenty for everyone to do. They also provided wine for everyone so that was an added perk. Everything was delicious!

The trip to Uruguay is a rewarding day trip out of Buenos Aires Colonis has some interesting sights and museums to explore Boat trip is slightly more than an hour Its suggested to take the evening cruise to return as the sunset is beyond beautiful

Maria was fantastic. We really enjoyed the cookery class and highly recommend it.

Very knowledgeable. Good command of English. Nice mix of sites visited.
