Itinerary
Meet your guide at the Terminal Fluvial de Sturla in Puerto Madero. Our boat sails at 10:00 AM.
We’ll sail along the Río de la Plata towards Tigre and get incredible views of Buenos Aires on the way. Ideal for those who wish to get to know the Delta and its typical characteristics of the region that make it attractive as it is practically integrated into the urban area of a megalopolis like Buenos Aires.
We’ll get to the Delta del Río Paraná where we’ll sail between lots of little islands and you’ll get to see the unique lifestyle here, with floating taxis, rafts and even shops dotting around.
Jumping off the boat in Tigre, we’ll head to enjoy a delicious lunch on the coast of the river.
Have lunch on the banks of the river: You can choose between: - Au Gratin Breast Sandwich or Roasted Vegetable Sandwich or Ratatouille - Cereal bar or Seasonal fruit or Banana and dulce de leche crepes - 1 non-alcoholic drink 500cc (water, flavored water or soda)
After lunch, we start with the tour of Puerto de Frutos. This place was the old port for the disembarkation of goods from the Delta and nowadays it is a local tourist spot, visited every weekend by people from Buenos Aires, as a recreation area by the river. You will be able to visit the fair, take pictures and buy souvenirs and handicrafts.
We will continue with a walking tour along the Paseo Victorica, an exceptional place that combines nature, river views, gastronomy, rowing clubs and historical landmarks and museums. Our guide will give you the necessary knowledge to understand the importance and history of each attraction and the city.
Arrival at the Delta station of the Tren de la Costa. We will board this tourist train that runs along the coast of the Rio de la Plata on the left, and the most exclusive areas of large mansions on the right.
At 3.30pm Arrival in San Isidro and tour of Plaza Mitre and the Cathedral of San Isidro. Walking tour through the main attractions until arriving at San Isidro Station. On the way you will have time to have a coffee with a snack or an ice cream.

Roxanne was so thoughtful and kind. She added so much to the day trip. The boat trip was fun and interesting. It was also nice to walk around different neighborhoods and learn about the areas the lunch was also really good. Thank you Roxanne and Tangol
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad Roxanne made your day special and that you enjoyed the boat ride, neighborhoods, and lunch. We hope to welcome you again soon! Tangol Tours
We were lucky that we were the only ones on Natalia's tour that day and so she was able to be a bit flexible in missing out places we'd been to before and spend more time elsewhere. The boat and train rides is a good combination
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear Natalia could personalize your tour and that you enjoyed the mix of boat and train rides. Hope to see you again! Tangol Tours

Guía turístico muy amable y con mucho conocimiento. Ella hablan inglés bien - muy útil ya que nuestro español es mal. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She speaks English well, which is helpful since we don’t speak much Spanish. We got to see a lot of very interesting buildings and areas in a short time, which would have taken a long time to research and organize on our own. Highly recommended! Altamente recomendada!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and that our guide’s knowledge and English skills made your experience even better. Tangol Tours

Le agradecemos sinceramente su comentario. Sus observaciones son muy valiosas para seguir mejorando nuestro servicio. ¡Los esperamos nuevamente! Saludos.
Inadequate communication by tour company regarding meeting time and location of the end point of the tour resulting in inconvenience and additional cost. The boat ride through the delta was very interesting as well as relaxing. The other activities in this tour represented the area. Our tour guide was pleasant and helpful. However, I would not necessarily recommend this tour company. We were told to report at 9:15 AM and our tour guide was told to report at 9:45 AM at the meeting point. This was very inconvenient as we got up early to taxi to the meeting point from our hotel and we were left without guidance for over 30 minutes. At the end of the tour, we were left over 12 miles from the designated end point. Rather than ending the tour at the designated point, within walking distance from our hotel, we were forced to take a taxi at our own expense for a 14.6 mile trip across Buenos Aires. Our tour guide kindly assisted in securing a taxi for a fair rate, but it was an expense we had not anticipated. The change in the end point resulted from construction work and inability of the train to access this specific area. However, the tour company should have been aware of the issue since it was an ongoing project over a considerable time frame. The tour company should have notified us of the change in final destination, the additional distance that had to be traveled at our own expense — or provided alternative transport to the designated ending point.
We appreciate you sharing your feedback on your recent tour of the Tigre Delta. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the boat ride and the friendliness of our guide. We deeply regret the inconveniences you experienced due to the lack of communication regarding changes to the tour. We understand your frustration with the initial wait at the meeting point and the unexpected expense for the return trip to your hotel. We are reviewing our communication protocols to ensure that any changes to the itinerary, such as modifications to the arrival point due to construction, are clearly and promptly communicated to passengers. We appreciate your understanding and hope to provide you with a better experience in the future.
They canceled 1/2 hour before the trip. No reason given. I booked 6 months ago. Not happy. It was confirmed the night before
Dear Sue Frawley, We deeply regret the inconvenience caused by the cancellation of your activity. We understand your frustration, especially after having booked so far in advance. We would like to explain that the cancellation was due to an exceptional situation: the assigned guide woke up with a fever, which prevented us from carrying out the activity as planned. We offered you the option to reschedule the activity or choose another alternative, but since this was not accepted, we proceeded with the full refund, which has already been processed. We appreciate your understanding and, once again, we apologize for not being able to provide the experience you expected. If you wish to enjoy our services in the future, we would be delighted to welcome you. Kind regards Tangol Tours
