Imagine cruising through Buenos Aires as the sun dips below the skyline, casting a warm glow over the city’s most famous landmarks. For just $145 per person, this 3-hour private tour offers a tailored exploration of the Argentine capital’s enchanting evening atmosphere. Led by a knowledgeable guide in a private vehicle, you’ll visit highlights like the Obelisk and Teatro Colón, then unwind with a handcrafted cocktail or Argentine wine at a bar chosen on the fly.

What really makes this tour shine is the personal touch. We love how flexible the experience is—your guide, Hernan or Gina, is eager to customize the evening to fit your interests, whether that’s discovering hidden speakeasies, wandering romantic plazas, or diving into the lively nightlife of Palermo. Plus, the opportunity to take stunning sunset photos while the city lights flicker on gives this tour a memorable, almost cinematic feel.

One consideration to keep in mind is that drinks in the vehicle aren’t allowed, so you’ll want to plan for your drink stop at the bar. Also, the tour is best suited for those comfortable with walking and standing, as some stops involve light strolling through lively areas.

This flexibility is one of the tour’s biggest strengths, as confirmed by reviews praising guides like Hernan and Gina for their warmth and knowledge.

The Itinerary: What You’ll See and Do

The tour begins with a pickup at your hotel or designated location in Buenos Aires, in a comfortable private vehicle. Once you’re underway, the guide will navigate through the city, pointing out the most iconic landmarks. Expect to see the Obelisk, an unmistakable symbol of Buenos Aires, beautifully illuminated against the night sky. The majestic Teatro Colón will captivate with its architecture, especially as it lights up in the evening.

A stroll through Puerto Madero, the city’s waterfront district, offers a modern contrast—sleek skyscrapers and river views that look stunning at sunset and under city lights. We loved the way the tour captures both the historical and contemporary sides of Buenos Aires.

The Sunset and Drink Stop

A highlight for many is the sunset drink at a carefully chosen bar. The experience here is relaxed; drinks are à la carte, so you can choose a local Argentine wine or a handcrafted cocktail. The reviews highlight how attentive and friendly the bar staff are, adding to the sophisticated yet laid-back vibe.

One reviewer mentioned, “Gina and Lorena picked us up at home, were very attentive, told us the history of the city, and took lots of photos of us.” This personal touch makes the experience more than just sightseeing—it’s a chance to feel more connected to the city and to your guides.
