Confirm cruise details in advance
If arriving from a cruise, supply ship name and docking/disembarkation times at booking to avoid missed pickups.
Carry small local bills
Many street vendors and small cafés accept only cash—keep Argentine pesos for snacks, metro rides, and tips.
Wear supportive shoes
The tour involves paved walking and standing during quick visits; comfortable, grippy shoes make the four‑hour loop easier.
Watch for pickpockets in crowded areas
Busy spots like La Boca and central plazas are lively but keep valuables secure and use a front‑worn bag.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive footwear handles pavement, occasional cobbles, and longer standing periods.
Light rain jacket
Spring showers and sudden weather shifts near the river make a packable jacket useful.
