Those experiences sparked my curiosity and inspired me to pursue a career in tourism. Since moving to Buenos Aires in 2012, I have continued to be fascinated by its history, architecture, culture, and the stories that make each neighborhood unique. I hold a degree as a Tourism Technician and have a background in English translation, allowing me to work comfortably with international travelers. I combine my professional experience with my love for Buenos Aires and my passion for sharing this wonderful city with travelers. Discover BA through the eyes of someone who truly loves the city.

Debora was warm and knowledgeable. The houses on stilts made the Delta feel completely different from Buenos Aires. Debora gave us a wonderful introduction to a side of Buenos Aires that feels completely different from the city center. We walked along Paseo Victorica, heard how Tigre grew around its waterways, and then boarded the boat for the Delta. The mix of history and scenery was excellent.

The five-river navigation was the highlight, especially the stories about floating schools and island life. Seeing the houses on stilts from the water made the Delta feel like a completely different world.

We covered a lot in five hours without feeling rushed. The navigation through the five main rivers was the most memorable part of the day. Debora explained the houses on stilts, floating schools, island communities, and the plants along the waterways. It was interesting to see how the river is part of everyday life rather than just a pretty background.

Debora was friendly and flexible, and I enjoyed Paseo Victorica almost as much as the boat ride. We enjoyed the balance of the itinerary: a scenic drive, a walk by the Luján River, a relaxed boat ride, and time at Puerto de Frutos. Debora kept the stories clear and conversational, so the five hours passed quickly. It felt like a real outing, not an excursion on a tight schedule.

Pickup and the return to downtown were easy. The boat was comfortable and the guide welcomed questions. Tigre’s old summer residences and rowing clubs were a surprise, and the Delta felt even more distinctive once we left the waterfront. Our guide answered questions about the local communities and gave us plenty of time for photos. The private transport made the whole day comfortable.

Quiet waterways, lush vegetation, and a very different rhythm from the city. This was a great choice when we wanted to leave Buenos Aires for a few hours without committing to a full day trip. Debora combined architecture, river history, and local life, then finished with the market where we could browse crafts and grab something quick to eat. Very easy to recommend.

The tour was a great break from Buenos Aires, especially the quiet navigation through the Delta. The boat ride showed us a slower, quieter side of Argentina. We saw riverside homes, lush vegetation, and the waterways that connect the islands, while Debora explained what daily life is like there. The visit to Tigre and Puerto de Frutos gave the afternoon enough variety.

Debora explained how Tigre developed around its waterways, which made the architecture more interesting. We were impressed by how much context Debora added to the scenery. Paseo Victorica was not just a pretty promenade, and the Delta was not just a boat ride; both became more interesting after hearing about the people, buildings, and history. The route was thoughtful and well paced.

The Delta was fascinating, especially the floating schools and riverside homes. We would have liked more time at the market.
