Make empanadas, alfajores, and mate in a small Buenos Aires home cooking class focused on Porteño food, culture, and hands-on fun.

“We took an Uber to the address given in the description. When we got there we were told it was cancelled. No reason no notice. We walked a bit to take a taxi since we didn’t have WiFi and could not take our pre arranged uber to go home. Never the less this ended up costing about 20 bucks and over an hour of my time. Btw still when I got back to WiFi this was still not cancelled! Hoping to get at least the money I paid for this but I won’t get back my wasted time on a vacation and my 20 bucks! Do not recommend. No customer…”

Shape a private three-hour Buenos Aires tour around your interests, with hotel pickup, a driver, and an English-speaking guide.

“I made a mistake and booked this tour for the wrong date. They called me the day of the tour and I explained I had made a mistake, asking if they could book us for the correct date. LuisEd said he would charge me an amount, which I understand because they reserved the van for us, and he would let me know what that amount would be. After that, no communication. I have texted them several times asking if we are still booked for the correct date, and no response, or acknowledgement of the first conversation. I am not even asking for a refund, just want to make sure we…”

Review of Bonanza Adventure’s grilled lamb dinner near El Chaltén, with scenic views, bridge crossing, transport details, menu, value, and tips.

“This was a great experience! We went to the meeting point at 7p in El Chalten. We were the only ones on the van out to Estancia Bonanza which seemed odd, but we realized later that most people do horseback riding or some other activity out there paired with the dinner. We took one van out of town a ways to the bridge, where we walked over and then got into another van to be taken to the ranch. We settled into the gorgeous dining space and within a few minutes the place filled up with other people staying there and finishing up other excursions. The food was great and…”
