Located in eastern Argentina on the southwest of the Río de la Plata, the city is one of the jewels in South America’s crown. Given its size, it’s useful to plan your visit so you can fit as much in to your stay as possible and one of the best ways to maximise your time is by booking tickets for a hop-on hop-off bus tour. With designated stops around the city, you can pick and choose where to jump aboard and hop off, depending on what attractions you’d like to see and in which order. We’ve compared two Buenos Aires hop-on hop-off bus tours below.

Operated by Gray Line, this tour features all of the above, but is only valid for up to 48 hours. However, the key difference is that you can add on themed activities. For example, if you’re a football fan and want to mix sightseeing with a deeper dive into Argentina’s soccer obsession, you can upgrade the tour to include entry to both River Plate and Boca Juniors football stadium museums. Alternatively, you can add a relaxing river cruise to your bus-based adventure if that’s more your thing. From $29 per person.
