Vale cada centavo
Fue el mejor día de nuestro viaje a Buenos Aires. Muy buena relación precio calidad. Muy bueno que incluyera recorrido de 80 minutos por la estación de Dover Street. El precio de las bebidas en el lugar es exagerado. Gracias por el día que nos hicieron pasar.

Salimos encantados. Todo muy bien señalizado y con el personal atento. Pasar por Green Park valió el tour entero. No esperaba que incluyera guía experta, un plus. Cinco estrellas bien merecidas.

Perfect intro to the city
Absolutely worth every penny. The ground staff were friendly from first contact. Much appreciated that illustrated Souvenir Booklet is included. If only every tour were run like this.

Volvería a hacerlo
Una experiencia redonda. Los músicos en vivo le dan otro nivel a la noche. El guía fue un capítulo aparte: sabía muchísimo y contestó todas nuestras preguntas. Green Park Orlando tiene un clima muy especial. Si volvemos a Londres, lo repetimos.

Una experiencia hermosa
Justo lo que buscábamos. El recorrido está bien pensado, no se repite ni da vueltas de más. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. Muy bueno que incluyera guía experta. Todo fluyó sin demoras ni esperas largas.
