A beautiful breathing room

A small oasis in the vibrant city. Pretty large area compared to the Japanese garden of Santiago Chile. There are several cozy paths and multi-dimensional cuts in a couple of trees. Really impressive. The lake has plenty of large Japanese fish

Beautiful day in beautiful parks

This was exactly what we expected and wanted it to be. It was a pleasant walk through some beautiful parks. The amount of time in each park was great, and Ana (the guide) and Marcelo (the driver) were both very professional. Ana shared information about how all the parks in Buenos Aires got started and other interesting pieces of Argentine history. Our favorite was the Japanese Garden. The rose garden was also lovely, but since it wasn't spring, the gardens were not quite as vibrant (Ana had warned us so we wouldn't be disappointed).

Japansk trädgård

Nice small garden with ponds and bonsai trees, very crowded so it's hard to get around. But worth a visit if you haven't been to Japan.

Excellent tour visiting 3 beautiful gardens

This was a super enjoyable tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the many types of plants in the various gardens visited. She also told us other interesting stories about the various gsrdens which made the experience more fulfilling. The driver and tour guide worked together flawlessly and when we were finished with each garden the driver was there and ready to pick us up and take us to the next garden.

Gardens of Buenos Aires

Our tour guide Fernando was very well informed and pleasant to tour around with. We went to 3 main gardens in Buenos Aires: Botanical, Rose Garden and Japanese - all were lovely, especially the Japanese Garden. There we went inside building with beautiful Oragami display. Fernando also let us try the local “mate” drink of herb tea. He knew a lot about plants and different species. Highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful, informative private garden tour.

Silvana was an amazing tour guide. She picked us up on time at our hotel and cared for our comfort throughout the tour. She took us to many beautiful parks in the lovely part of the city and gave us interesting facts about the characteristics of each one. The rose garden was in spectacular bloom and quite impressive. The Japanese garden was lovely and meaningful. The native plant botanical garden was peaceful and lush. All along the way as we drove through the city, Silvano pointed out historic facts and information about important people in Buenos Aires. Our driver was careful and competent, dropping us off and picking us up seamlessly at each stop. This private tour was well worth the cost and pleasantly carried out.

Japan at the heart of the Porteño excitement

This garden is a little marvel. Flowers. Greenery…ambient music. Koi carps… very well maintained. Complete change of scenery within Buenos Aires... however a lot of people at this time because it is the school holidays and the restaurant was full, however the service was fast!!!!
