Newcomer Casa Rosada tickets

[Carl80]

I'll be in Buenos Aires in february and was interested in booking tickets for the Casa Rosada tour. However, it appears that the daily English tours are consistently fully booked either right before or immediately after the tickets are released. I've been monitoring the availability regularly, but every time the new week's tickets become available, they're already sold out. Is there a specific strategy or trick to securing reservations, or could it be that they are being pre-booked by agencies or other entities?

Hey,
Visits are only on Saturdays. Tours in English only 12:30 pm. They are free but need reservations which open 15 days in advance.

Hello Carl80,

Indeed Ron is right! the tours in English are only on Saturdays and they are free, although the schedule has been recently modified, they take place at 2:30 PM and let me tell you that they are very interesting as you will be immersed for a moment in the history of this beautiful country.

Below I leave the link so you can make a reservation but keep in mind that this is done 15 days in advance not before, maybe that's why you do not see the real availability.

Enjoy.

No I also tried the other day and it also wouldn't work. I figured maybe Milei cancelled it to save money! Ha.

I also tried and it's not just you. I think with Milei they stopped them. He probably laid off the staff!

He probably laid off the staff!

there is also the chance that gov't workers who aren't getting free sh*t anymore are burning/deleting stuff in hopes of doing scorched earth on Argentina to make it seem like Milei's team is failing. i used to work for a contractor overseas who lost a contract and then intentionally shredded/deleted documents and played dumb about logistics and procedures, hoping the new company would quit or fail and then the contract would go back to the incumbent

Ah the famous scorched Earth strategy. People discount the depths of the Kirchners! They probably will pay people to sabotage things too. @StatusNomadicus, I read and heard of a lot of that type of thing with government contractors. So desperate to get back a contract after they find out the US Govt is going with someone else.
