I thank Aida and Matías very much for an incredible trip! The stops were impressive and very well scheduled. The restrooms and service areas were clean, and the staff was very friendly. I recommend bringing something to snack on and lunch. A portable charger will also be useful so you don't miss any details of the scenery. Aida expressed herself clearly in both English and Spanish and was attentive to any questions. Matías and Aida adhered to the scheduled time, which allowed us to have enough time to explore while also completing the tour. Thank you both!
A beautiful tour with incredible views, where Aida as our guide and our driver made this outing very enjoyable.
The visit to the high mountains was unforgettable, with stunning landscapes and unique moments accompanied by music. The entire journey was filled with experiences, and the guide Alejandro was very attentive and professional. I recommend that tour without a doubt!
Guide Ramiro gives a history lesson and driver Lucas is super cautious in the direction. Excellent script, positively surprised me, because the places visited are beautiful! We had a very pleasant and safe experience on the tour, we recommend!
This was an incredible tour of the Andes during the fall here in Argentina. We were picked up at our chosen location in a very comfortable van. The guide, Alejandro, gave the explanations about each stop as well as the history of sites that we passed along the way in both Spanish and English (my colleague and I were the only ones who requested English). We had enough time at each stop to take pictures and browse the market stalls for local artisans and vendors if we wanted. The lunch location was fine although not the best quality - we brought snacks with us but still ended up getting the semi-buffet lunch (this was completely optional and not officially part of the tour). Overall, we highly enjoyed this tour, and our guide was fantastic. Highly recommended!
Great tour, highly recommend it. The guide was great, the stops were fun, educational, and gorgeous. Very well priced for how long the tour is as well. No problems throughout the tour, plus they will pick you up from your hotel if you’re within a certain perimeter in Mendoza.
Excellent walk. All perfect. The defined places to meet, the traditional lunch, guide and driver perfect. I highly recommend.
Perfect communication via WhatsApp. New and comfortable van. Excellent driver and guide. Everything went as expected.
Very good tour, beautiful places, good driver, good guide, but the van was crowded, we stayed in the last seats of the van with 2 adults, very tight and uncomfortable, I was all walk sitting at the end of the seat because there was no room to rest, very uncomfortable,, I was in pain in the column because of this. Hold on to the comfort of your customers.
For this price we expected a little more, on our last stop we set off ourselves to explore the valley of Las Cuevas. Our guide was very friendly and knew a lot to tell us.
