There will be 8 buses with 2 floors that will count with air conditioning, first level roof-opened and a full capacity of 50 people.

The tour has 11 stops in many spots like the Mayo Square, Italy Square, Puerto Madero and the Rosedal(rose garden). The tours will start from 9am until 5:30 in the afternoon, and will be more or less 3 hours long. The gift that was missing in Buenos Aires, commented lots of times between friends and guests of the Hostel Colonial, after lots of promises, will be inaugurated.

The daily ticket will cost $25 (argentine pesos), and the 48 hours ticket, $35 (argentine pesos). The tourist may leave and take the bus as many times as he wants to with the same ticket, and a multilingual tourist guides staff will be available for the public.
