The 360 camera is extra but it’s very reasonably priced and so worth it! Would highly recommend”

Ride along the beach at Los Morros and La Boquilla with a horseman who assists with handling and photos. Carlos is often the guide, and you can choose a gentle ride or ask about trotting in the water. The $33 price includes typical food or three beers and water, with optional hotel pickup.

“This was a really great experience. The communication with the organizer of the tour was phenomenal. She checked on us every step of the way to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The tour is great for any level of rider. If you know what you are doing on the horse, they leave you to ride on you own. If you are less experienced a guide will stay with you and make sure. you have a safe ride. Riding a horse on the beach is such a beautiful experience and the beach in this area is very nice. The horses are very well cared for and they respond well…”

5.Private Photography Tour in Buenos Aires

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 35 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $175

Spend about three hours walking through Buenos Aires with professional photographer Nicholas. You will choose a route after booking, receive practical composition advice, photograph visually interesting parts of the city, and review your images together. A short Photoshop or Lightroom lesson is also available.

“This was a fantastic way to experience a slice of Buenos Aires as a first-time visitor and a photographer! Nicholas was terrific - outgoing, friendly, and adaptable to my particular tastes in subjects to shoot. He's also a very good photographer in his own right and I picked up some pointers along the way. The photo tour enriched my experience of the city and I was able to get a view of what's happening one-on-one from a local. Couldn't have asked for more. I'd post more shots but I have so many to edit! Bravo, Nick.”
