We booked at the very last minute but Fred was ready bright and early to drive us to Tigre. He was an absolutely wonderful guide, with perfect English, lots of knowledge about history and landmarks plus great stories and tips about how things work in Argentina. It was raining, so it was a little hard to see on the 1 hour boat tour, but we still really enjoyed it - especially the replica of the former president's house encased in glass. Afterwards, at our request Fred took us to Tigre stadium so we could buy some jerseys & we were lucky enough to get in to see the pitch! Then to San Isidro to see the gothic church and cute square. Recommend - if you can get Fred!

We absolutely loved the boat ride and the market in Tigre. The tour just seemed like a lot of money with very little tour. Our tour guide did not offer up much information about the areas we were in and it was more like a driver to take us to the boat and pick us up. It was a good experience overall, but it would have been nice to have a real tour with the guide.

Tour guide Diego was excellent. Passionate, knowledgeable, friendly and went the extra distance to make us comfortable. The tour itself was just “flat”. Nothing special on the river and other sightseeing locations.

Our guide, Dario, was great; very personable and good sense of humor. Not especially enthused with the boat cruise. Traffic on the way back into town was awful; took 1 1/2 hours to get back. Not Derios fault, it was construction. Overall, I would rate the guide Dario, 9 of 10, and the tour itself a 7.

Seeing the homes on the canals and all the people enjoying the water sports. Anna also took us to a lovely restaurant on the water for lunch.

Our guide Fred, was fantastic. Very good English, super friendly and knowledgeable. After the river cruise he took us back to Buenos Aires and showed us round a local market near where we were staying. We would recommend him to anyone. He also does city tours too.

Such an amazing tour! It's hard to keep the attention of our two small boys, 4 and 7, but this trip kept them entertained with such variety. The tour guide Dario is really kind, friendly and all around awesome. My two kids are futbol crazy and Dario stopped at the River Plate stadium for photos and regaled them with soccer tales. With the lively conversation, the drives were just as interesting as the sightseeing. The boat trip was great with the really nice views. The kids loved hanging out at the back of the boat and enjoyed our time on the water. There was enough downtime to do some window shopping and get ice cream and waffles as well. This tour was a highlight of our Buenos Aires vacation.

The guide Anna was amazing, she was very informative. The actual boat tour was relaxing, but it was hard to hear the taped recording if you were outside.

The Tigre tour was really great. Dario, our guide, was wonderful. Cannot say enough wonderful things about him. Yhe ferry trip was very scenic and relaxing. Tigre was an interesting change of pace from Buenos Aries. Lots of fun market stalls. And thanks to the tour company for making special accommodations for my five person family (the normal tour is limited to four people).

The boat ride out was nice and interesting. Tigre is a nice city and we enjoyed the market. And our tour guide Gerard was excellent, we really enjoyed spending the day with him.

Was a great trip to the Delta. The cruise boat was spacious with good views. Martin was the guide and did a great job in explaining the history and cultural significance. The tour company was also very prompt in communicating the details of the pick up time and the guide’s contact information.Highly recommend this tour company.

Myself and my wife often take private tours when we travel abroad. Although they're more expensive, we have always found them to be exceptional, giving a real insight into local life, history and culture. The reviews by others for this tour gave us the expectation of the same level of satisfaction. It started with the expected car transfer to the port a few minutes drive away, followed by the expected 2 hour unescorted boat ride to Tigre. This went as planned with the boat arriving in Tigre on schedule. The tour description on Tripadvisor says "the guide will wait for you in Tigre to tour in a private car the famous streets of San Isidro along with the main points of the City of Tigre, such as Paseo Victorica, the museums and the casino." It also says we will have a 30 minutes stop at the fruit market and a 15 minutes stop at the Cathedral in San Isidro. What actually happened is that when the boat arrived in Tigre, the driver drove us directly to the fruit market a few minutes away, dropped us off and told us he would return in 30 minutes to drive us straight back to our hotel in Buenos Aires. When I said that according to the itinerary we are meant to visit the Cathedral in San Isidro, he replied that we could only have 10 minutes at the fruit market if that's what we preferred. So we had 10 minutes alone at the fruit market (just enough time for an ice cream), then we were driven directly to the Cathedral where the driver left us for 15 minutes before driving us directly back to the hotel. If we passed by the Paseo Victorica, the museums and the casino mentioned in the itinerary, then we don't recall them being mentioned. The driver certainly didn't slow down anywhere to point out anything. He just drove directly to the fruit market, then directly to the cathedral, before driving back to the city. There was no other pause in the journey. The driver was very friendly and chatted about life in Buenos Aires, but he did no guiding. He seemed very pre-occupied in getting back to the city by 2pm because he had another guest to pick up for a tour. On my return to the UK, I emailed Depasseios (the tour provider) and received a very nicely worded response from Alessandro de Luca, the owner. He explained that the driver was a very experienced guide with excellent reviews, and "it was more the company's fault for rushing the guide for another tour". At the time I appreciated his honesty, it was better than denying the issue. On reflection, a nice apology, although it was welcome, does not fully address the issue. We paid £224 for a private tour but that isn't what was provided, certainly not to the standard and extent advertised. Given that the boat tickets cost around £64, we actually paid an additional £160 for 2 x 5 minutes car transfers, plus 70 minutes car transfer via the cathedral back to our hotel. Bear in mind also that we were only taken to the cathedral at my insistence, the original plan was to drive directly back to Buenos Aires from Tigre. In that context, the price was excessive by any standards. I did not ask for a partial refund, and surprisingly one was not offered by Alessandro. I sent a second email thanking him for his reply, and suggested he may want to consider making a donation to a local Buenos Aires charity, to compensate for the overcharging. I received no reply to that suggestion. So in summary, a very pleasant boat trip followed by a terrible tour, which was very rushed, did not cover the full itinerary and was not relaxing at all. Given other positive reviews I suspect this is a reputable company, just having a bad day.

We had a wonderful tour with Analia. Analia was prompt, had excellent English skills, and shared a great deal of her knowledge of the area. She even held our place in line for getting on the boat so my wife with a bad hip and knee could sit. The delta tour was very interesting seeing the various homes and communities built up along the rivers. The boat was two levels with an open top area and air conditioned enclosed bottom area. The bottom area also had a concession with snacks and drinks. Overall, a very enjoyable day!

Such an amazing experience!! Our guide-Mariano- was so informative and helpful throughout. He really helped us to understand the culture and what we were seeing. He also was available to provide us with other recommendations of places to eat, and things to see in the city. I definitely would recommend this experience.

Had a superb time touring the Delta. It was even better thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Gerard. He went out of his way to really show us the city and was so patient in answering our questions. My girlfriend and I couldn’t ask for a better experience.

This is a very different experience from a lot of what you get in Buenos Aires; we learned a lot on the tour, had spectacular views of the city and saw a unique lifestyle on the river delta. First off, our tour guide Emiliano (Emi) was fantastic! He taught us a lot about the city, local culture and life on the river Delta. He ensured that our experience was successful by telling us where to get the best view from the boat and when to move for an even better view. His English was excellent, too. If you get a guide like EMI, you will learn a lot. The city views are fantastic; this persists for a long time, too (e.g. not 5 minutes; more like 45 minutes). Then you transition to the river delta, and it is a different world. It is very unique! If you only have 1 day in Buenos Aires, I would not recommend this. But if you have 3+ days, this is a very interesting and worthwhile half day. Pickup is from your hotel; drop-off is equally convenient. The tour operator offers photos. I recommend getting a snack in Tigre.

We took the walk with Leo. He gave us all the information about each place we visited and the navigation was excellent. Leo looked for us on time and the ride met our expectations and more. We fully recommend it
