REGISTER YOUR INTEREST TODAY!
We’re extremely excited to announce that following an incredible Argentinian Derby Tour in 2025, we are pleased to say that we will be heading back in November 2027.
This action-packed itinerary really does have everything you’d hope for from a once-in-a-lifetime South American trip. We kick things off in and around Buenos Aires with a great mix of excursions that show off the best of the city before heading up to the incredible Iguazu Falls to see both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides, including a boat tour that gets you right into the heart of it. After a final relaxing day in our five-star hotel in Iguazu, we make our way back to Buenos Aires for a ride with the gauchos, a stud and stable visit and the build-up to the Gran Premio Nacional at Palermo Racecourse, where we’ll be enjoying hospitality on course.
The 2027 tour brings together everything people love about Argentina. The energy of Buenos Aires, the beauty of Iguazu and the chance to enjoy great racing, great food and five-star comfort along the way. For those wanting to make even more of the trip, we’ll also be offering an optional three-night extension to Patagonia to explore its stunning and varied landscapes at the southern tip of South America.

GRAN PREMIO NACIONAL
ABOUT THE EVENT:
The Gran Premio Nacional, often called the Argentine Derby, is one of Argentina’s most prestigious horse racing events and is a must-see event for horse racing fans and culture enthusiasts alike.
Held annually at the historic Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo in Buenos Aires, this event celebrates the best three-year-old thoroughbreds in the country. With its origins dating back to 1884, the race has become a cornerstone of Argentine culture and a symbol of excellence in South American racing. Attending the Gran Premio Nacional offers a unique chance to experience the electrifying atmosphere first-hand, surrounded by the elegance of this iconic venue and the fervour of devoted fans. Each November, top horses, jockeys, and enthusiastic spectators gather for a thrilling day filled with passion, tradition, and the elegance of Argentine horseracing.
The Gran Premio Nacional is more than just a race, it's a cultural festival that showcases the nation’s rich equestrian heritage and love for the sport. Beyond the race itself, spectators can enjoy local cuisine, live music, and cultural festivities, making this event a standout for anyone seeking a taste of Argentina’s rich equestrian heritage in an unforgettable setting.

Absolutely amazing, from start to finish!
The actual trip was just phenomenal. We met some lovely people, we learnt so much and we experienced the most wonderful weekend. The organisation was second to none; the hotel was perfect and the location was right opposite the Hippodrome.
From Marc’s knowledge and contacts, we got to spend a day at Nicolas Clement’s stables, we had wonderful seats for the races along with another stables tour, something we would not have experienced if I hadn’t booked with Venatour. The trip was the right mix of activities and leisure time and we both thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lovely trip meeting old and new friends.
Fantastic trip to Bruges and Waregem with Venatour Racing Social. This was our first visit to Bruges so Marc and Simon definitely looked after all of us with recommendations for bars and restaurants and places to see.
Wonderful choice of hotel in the centre of Bruges and a nice touch on day 1 to meet up for drinks together and get to know the group. The racing on day 2 was a spectacle not to be missed and with superb hospitality. On the last evening, Marc arranged a meet up at a lovely place by the Canal. Thanks for a lovely trip, meeting old and new friends and being well looked after.

We are still buzzing from
our trip.
Firstly, we are still buzzing from our trip to the White Turf Event in St Moritz with Marc & Simon from Venatour. We were with our family on our return and loved relating many of the 'one of a kind' highlights!
We felt very well looked after with all the attention to details, updates and changes of exciting events which they both masterminded. We've now signed up for the Cape Town event plus the add on Safari - we know it will be a superb experience and something we couldn't do without the expertise of Venatour.

Very skilled in tailoring the experience.
Our first guided tour of any description (being averse to any set itinerary and having the spirit of a cat, like a caged Lion…😁). However Marc was an excellent herder of cats!
Very skilful in tailoring the experience to the individual; we did our own thing but was always kept in the loop and joined the group and events as we wanted. And when Gatwick threw a curveball by cancelling a bunch of flights, Marc and the team juggled all the chaos like pros. Hats off to them - it was purr-fectly handled! Thanks guys loved it.
