We did the full day “tour”, but in retrospect should have done a half day or skipped Tigre delta altogether. The tour just includes your boat ticket (nice boat ride), your bus ticket within Tigre (nothing to see), and your “train” ticket back (just a lite rail, no view of anything interesting. Had 90 min to spend at Tigre market but by the time we finished lunch there was no time left. The tour guide helped us get from point A to point B but didn’t provide much additional info about the places we were visiting. Could easily do this half day trip on your own by buying the boat ticket and buying the return lite rail train ticket. No need to book a “tour”.
Pick up at selected hotel on time, nice trip to Tigre. Maybe a 5 min stop in San Isidro just to take a picture would be great. The guide was repeating same things in Spanish Portuguese and English.. Amazing!!!
The trip with the boat and the train was very amazing. The guide was ok. I would put a lunch in this package.
Enjoyed the half day Tigre tour, nice to get out of the city. Our tour guide was excellent. Not really sure why we had the first stop on the way, except to use as a rest stop. Seemed a little long for what there was to see. I would have preferred more time in the town of Tigre - of course, that is on the full day tour. I certainly recommend this tour as the price is more than reasonable and it was really interesting to see another side of life in Argentina.
This trip via Sturla was certainly worth the time and cost. Informative and relaxed. Not rushed and time for lunch and wine. The train ride gives you a different view of the local lifestyle.
Relaxing day trip from Buenos Aires to Tigre delta to see delta based communities and Tigre town centre.
