Condor Travel is the company hired by our travel agent, Captivating Journeys based out of Wailuku, HI for a 15-day, private tour of Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires and Lima.
BUENOS AIRES:
Diego was our guide in BA. He met us inside the airport and escorted us to the Four Seasons in Buenos Aires about 30 minutes away. He was so energetic and enthusiastic, I knew we had a great guide.
The next day Diego picked us up for a 4-hour tour of the city. We visited the mechanized flower sculpture Floralis Generica, drove through parts of the city, stopped at the Eva Peron monument, Recoleta cemetery, Al Ateneo bookstore (a former theater), Casa Rosada, Metropolitan church, and ended in Laboca, home of the tango dance. We made our own arrangements back to the hotel.
A few days later Diego picked us up for transport to the airport. He even helped us check in and saw us off at security. What a great guy! Fun, informative and patient. Thanks a million, Diego!
TIPS:
Uber isn't legally allowed to operate in BA, but there were a few cars roaming around. The driver and I couldn't connect on one occasion, so we taxi'd it which was still cheap.
The Argentine Experience (empanada making & dinner) and La Ventana (tango show & dinner) were great activities. See separate reviews. read more
