I recommend taking this bus, you know a large part of Buenos Aires and for your comfort the second level has a roof so as not to be affected by the sun, a web page to keep track of the buses, the narration of the route is in several languages. If you have any complications, they support you, GetYourGuide also answers the chat at any time, they help you solve it. Congratulations for this service!

one of the guides on the bus didn't know where recoleta cemetery was even though it was stop number 21 on the route. yes the headphones are multi language but the guides mostly speak Spanish only and English is scarce. apart from that the journey is worth it. bare in mind to do a full loop takes about 2.5 hours.

The bad reviews really are misleading, this tour is really fine, they take you through the most important parts and there are buses stoping by every half hour or so. I really enjoyed my time on this bus, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable

Excelente Service. Always on time. Sylvia was a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide and provided very good service. I would recommend your company to anyone who needed a tour bus not just in Buenos Aires but everywhere

Very enjoyable but I kept getting emails about pick up destination and that is very confusing as it does not apply. You should remove this
