Tour buses: getting to know the city in comfort

One of the most classic options among tourists to get to know our city when

passing through Buenos Aires is taking a City Tour or a Tourist Bus. These

options allow you to visit and learn about the history of some of the most

emblematic sites with the help of experienced guides in just a few days.

From our Hotel we recommend the use of Hop On Hop Off buses for travelers who

have only a few days in Buenos Aires and who want to create their own itinerary to

discover the city in a more comfortably way. With this modality you can get on and

off the tourist bus as many times as you like at each of the stops during the validity

of your ticket. Let us show you:

Gray Line Argentina  City Tours (Red Line)

One of the options we have to choose from is the well-known company Gray Line,

known for its traditional red buses. This company is the largest tour provider on

the planet and has headquarters in more than 700 locations, serving in cities such

To get into a Gray Line Bus it´s not necessary to have a printed ticket, you will just

graylineargentina.com. These e-tickets will have a QR code that can be

website, we can choose between 24, 48 or 72 hours of validity, time that will start

counting from the first scan of our e-ticket. The 24-hour pass for international

travelers is worth USD 29; 48-hour, USD 35, and 72-hour, USD 39.
