Private tour Argentinian Flavours food tours on foot

Posted By : Christina F
The evening of the tour there was a downpour, complete with thunder and lightning. I reached out to the tour guide and asked if the tour was still happening or could be rescheduled. The tour guide said he would check with the managing company and get back to me. This was an hour before the scheduled tour. He got back to me rather quickly and said it was still on and that the company would not issue refunds or rescheduling. We met at the designated spot and the tour began in the rain. Within minutes the rain became a downpour and we took shelter under an awning. An employee of the business we stood in front of told us we could not stand there, we had to purchase something or move. We found another spot. The guide tried to share some history of the area and the city but the storm was too loud and we couldn't hear him even though the only ones touring were myself and a friend. Along the route to the first stop there was no shelter from the rain and with the wind it was tearing up our umbrellas.I asked what was on the menu and the tour guide listed a bunch of sandwiches from some food trucks that he said would have no shelter from the rain. At that point my friend and I were freezing and soaked and sandwiches did not seem like a good enough reason to keep trying to walk in a storm. We thanked the guide and said we were going to end the tour and try to get back safely to our Air BnB. I felt bad for the guide but he wasn't very enthusiastic or energetic and not being able to hear him, plus sandwiches that are found every 200 m throughout the city was not appealing. It might have been a good tour in better weather and this review might have been different with the option to reschedule but the managing company basically wanted the money, and wasn't interested in making sure it was a pleasurable experience. I would not recommend booking this tour or any other under the same management company.
