That article you linked to is interesting, thanks, I had not heard about this before.

To be honest, I hate this sort of thing. To me, why take a “tourist bus” when you can get a free map from a tourist information office, and then go the same places on your own either by walking (BA, after all, is a great walking city), or public transport, or even taxis if need be – generally this will cost less, and be a more “authentic” experience – i.e. not being accompanied by hoardes of other tourists wherever you go.

Or if you need more help, hire a guide. We don´t cost that much!

I´m all for extra options, but I guess this option is just not for me. Though maybe I´m a more independent traveller than the average person.

I like this part of the article

“…los ómnibus, con guía y folletería turística a bordo, circularán lentamente por la ciudad con la intención de que los turistas puedan tomar fotografías…”

wow, the colectivos and taxi drivers are going to love getting stuck behind these!

Thanks again for the link Dalila – it´ll at least be interesting to see how these tourist buses work out here in Buenos Aires.

Cheers,
