Description

Start your tour early in the morning as the driver picks you up from your hotel/Airbnb and takes you to Buenos Aires’ ferry station. After going through customs, board the ferry for a comfortable and pleasant 1.5-hour ride across the widest river in the world crossing the international border between Argentina and Uruguay. Upon arrival, meet your guide as your driver takes you to the historic quarter. Commence your walking tour around Colonia's old town on a 2-hour adventure. Visit each of the city’s landmarks as your very passionate, and knowledgeable tour guide brings what you can see to life with their live commentary. Receive background information, facts, and insights that you will not be able to find in any book or travel guide. Enjoy free time at the end of your tour and explore the town on your own for the remainder of the afternoon. Do some sightseeing or enjoy a spot of lunch at a local restaurant. Finish your day as your driver picks you up and transports you back to the ferry station for your journey back to Buenos Aires. Once in Buenos Aires, another driver will take you safely back to your accommodation.
