Choose show-only seating or add a three-course Argentine dinner, unlimited drinks, and optional hotel transfer.

2.Sunset Horse Back Riding in the Mountains and BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 515 reviews · 8 hours · from $120

Leave Mendoza by van for El Relincho Cabalgatas, where Stella and her family match you with a calm horse for a mountain ride of about three hours. Follow gaucho guides to a 2,100-meter viewpoint, then return to the ranch for beef, pork, salads, vegetables, wine, and dessert. English and Spanish support is available.

“Couldn’t recommend this enough! It was such a memorable experience. The horses are carefully chosen for you based on your height and experience. 3 hours flies by and the horses are so experienced you have nothing to worry about. The food afterwards was also delicious. Just a warning for those with motion sickness though, the drive to/from the ranch is quite bumpy so just be prepared.”

Seeing the city after dark gave it a completely different energy, and thanks to our guide Pablo, we were able to experience it in the most authentic and enjoyable way. Pablo is far more than a guide — he is an excellent storyteller with deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and everyday life. Throughout the tour, he shared fascinating stories, local insights, and details we would never have discovered on our own. Everything was explained with passion, humor, and genuine love for Buenos Aires. The tour was very well organized and paced, allowing us…”

7.Palacio Barolo Guided Night Tour with Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 54 reviews · from $90

Enter Palacio Barolo after dark for a 90-minute Spanish or English tour through its Art Nouveau and Art Deco halls. Learn how the building reflects Dante’s Divine Comedy, ride 14 floors, then climb eight narrow stairways to the lighthouse. Finish with a glass of Palacio Barolo red or Beatrice Portinari white wine.

“It was an amazing place to see and very unique to see the city up top inside the light turret. The guide was very informative and was excellent at explaining in both Spanish and English for the group. I would recommend an evening tour as you get excellent reviews. But be prepared to walk up 8 narrow flights of stairs to reach the top. It's worth it, but the stairs only wind round and it's not too strenuous. However, keep your head down if tall until you reach the top. It's a good example of art deco style.”
