Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Later, return to the hotel in the afternoon and evening for free time to enjoy Buenos Aires on your own. LOCAL FAVORITE SMALL GROUP EXCLUSIVE Zanjón de Granados underground tunnels houses all of Buenos Aires' history packed in an unusual place. The street it's on was once a small river—the zanjón, or gorge, of the property's name—where the first, unsuccessful attempt to found Buenos Aires took place in 1536. When the property's current owner—or custodian, as he prefers to be known, decided to develop what was then a run-down tenement, he began to discover all sorts of things beneath the house: pottery and cutlery, the foundations of past constructions, and a 500-foot network of tunnels that has taken over 20 years to excavate. These were once used to channel water, but like the street itself, they were sealed after San Telmo's yellow-fever outbreaks. With the help of historians and architects, they've now been restored, and the entire site has been transformed into a private museum, where the only exhibit is the red-brick building itself.
