The tour desk arranges shuttles to Ezeiza Airport, 20 km away. Certain bookings are for group events or parties, including pre-wedding stag/bachelor and hen/bachelorette parties.

“Circus Hostel has a vibrant atmosphere, especially around its pool area, which is enhanced by unique artwork. Its San Telmo location is convenient for exploring Plaza de Mayo and La Boca, though Palermo is a bit farther. Overall, it appears well-managed with helpful staff, making it a solid base for discovering Buenos Aires.”
