There are some reasons why many ships change into San Antonio port. So is 1.30hours distance. They offer tours in San Antonio wich is a small town or you need to be picked up to go to Valparaiso to Santiago Chile. Is full day. A private tour is convenient so you skip lines and waiting trying to optimize the time. I got the contact of a lady who knows all southamerica and specially that issues in the port is liz2arg to yahoo dot com

depend where is the hotel. the sheraton is inside the park, you dont need a tour guide.
but if you want to explore into brasil you need a visa and guided tours help
visit the bird parks!

I travelled to Buenos Aires and arrange Iguazu with local independent guides that need to work just do this through a local person in buenos aires!!!!
-
Yes seems to be that is the 2nd year that the San Antonio port replace the arrival ship to Valparaiso. That is like 1 hour and half.
If you take a private tour you can do tour and transfer with luggage to cover things, it will be a long day to cover all. Or you can explore the town of San Antonio wich has not too much but you can relax and feel more local culture as it not touristic. In a way WE help them to develop the area more touristic and get more jobs !
This is what my travel agent told me and they are connected with local guides in each port like (liz2arg at yahoo dot com) to organize cruiseship passengers first class private tours.

Wow! Lot of explanations. I organize all by local tour guides in each port with a Buenos Aires Tour Operator : LIZ Concierge services.
This is a person that answer you and is connected with chile, uruguay , brasil and peru. And lead in Buenos Aires.
No platforms. No intermediates. No unknown guides. All are independent and they live through word of mouth so they don´t have to pay anyone to get clients, they are not a marketing solution. They are history people, architectures, licensed guides, economists, very interesting and all madure people that are really experts and bilinguals contact her at

Tigre is beatiful and a relax day close to the city. You can do just the navigation or you can explore more the north part of the city in that tour to learn about the history of that area before the navigation . That is what we did and we pass through the President House!
There are many options to do other things there but is risky for the cruiseshipassengers for the time to embark so go to the classic. Is highly recommended to control the time by a private tour or a group tour but small. Buenos Aires Local Guide was our provider (liz2arg at yahoo dot com)

The big cities are interesting as you learn the differences between the southamerica culture. Is not the same Brasil , than Uruguay , than Chile than Argentina. Buenos Aires is the main stop in Argentina as many people end or start their cruiseship so , to have a welcome by a local guide is highly recommended as they put you in a context to learn and they are all connected between different countries and help to find local adventures or just cultural activities in each city. You must book in advance ! the good ones are almost booked and then you have to run and book commercial tours or unknown guides. If you build a group is better to reduce cost but if you want to do a private tour it will be just for you. We did it with a lovely lady and her team Buenos Aires Local Guide (liz2arg at yahoo dot com)

There is not much to see but you can hire a transfer to 1 hour and half to be picked up on San Antonio and go to Valparaiso to tour there and come back. Or you just relax and enjoy that little town. Contact Liz Andrea at (liz2arg at yahoo dot com)

The only way to do what you want like this is getting a private tour or small group tour. There are many independent not commercial guides that when they are good they open their own services and can personalized. If you can join a group you can be flexible as you request. We did it with the best tour guide in buenos aires (liz tour guide buenos aires ) who is top in trip advisor for years same as google search.

We walked San Martin street also. We went into a "thematic Museum" wich was fabulous about the history of the expeditionaries around that southamerica land.
We also saw many penguins !!!! lovely!!!! prepare a nice jacket waterproof and windstopper. sunscreen.

We saw 2 in our 2 visits to Buenos Aires
We did a tango dinner show at one of the most exclusive places and we don´t know about tango but was FANTASTIC.
And the next day we arrange with our tour guide to visit a tango club as she is a tango dancer and , if she is not tired after all day of touring, she do a tango tour.
The tango tour was very intersting as it is out of the touristic circuit. You have to arrange that in advance to catch her and also organize a group to do it.
You will be like a local.
Time is about 4 hours. Eat is not the most important thing but she explained us the history and origins of tango and the rules and dress codes and it was a unique experience.

Suggestions for early p/u and tour from Buenos Aires airport

Be carefyl Dr Dawggy. You are always recommended Sandy. Are you connected with her? All are working in same way. You must not talk bad about other tour guides. May be you, like me are retired and enjoying life. But they are working.
Is good to recommend good guides. I believe that Sandy is not a tour guide, she only coordinate tour guides right?
May be people look at tour guides directly. Just I recommend to google Buenos Aires Tour Guide and find by themselves to be more honest.
