Great half-day tour covering three of the best attractions in Bariloche. We were lucky to have beautiful weather, too!"
Have to pay extra if you do not speak Spanish - it feels like an unnecessary up charge considering the guide spoke 3 languages. I barely heard anything in English, most of the communication was in another language. Guide was nice and the tour is nice but I’d suggest just taking the number 20 bus to save your money
Very nice tour with nice company. It was enjoyable and we recommend it to any tourists in Argentina.
Celeste worked us through the history & flora of the region . Her English is excellent. We loved the tour! Highly recommend
Fabulous introduction to the area. Beautiful mountains and lakes. It gets fresh up in the mountains so bring a cardigan and wear comfortable shoes.
I know the title is too long but that kind of summarizes the whole trip. Scenary is as usual breathtaking, but that's true for entire Bariloche. The guide was decent but not very warm in welcoming non-hispanic guests. Even though I booked the Spanish language option of the tour (it was the third of such kind and by this time I already knew what to expect -that the guide will only explain very basic one or twolines in English and point out to the bathroom!), it was not bad. Because most of the tour, again that's standard for Bariloche, consisted of visual delight. Only the chairlift was little bit overhyped (maybe because it was a cloudy foggy day, hardly anything visible and too cold to enjoy).
This tour was well worth it. Tour guide was very kind and accommodating. Taking the chair lift at Cerro Campanerio is well worth the extra $14. Great views from above. Make sure to bring jacket, hat and gloves because it is very windy at the top especially in spring months like November.
Elizabeth, Thank you for your great review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and the views from Cerro Campanario. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Excellent tour! Our Guide did a great job keeping us always informed and concerned with every detail I recommend them without a doubt 😊
¡Muchas gracias por tu excelente comentario! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste del tour y que nuestra guía te brindó una experiencia tan completa. ¡Te agradecemos la recomendación y esperamos verte pronto!
We were pressed on time since we were in Bariloche for only 12 hours so we did this half day tour. If you are also short on time I suggest you do this one. If you have more time then add also a visit to Cerró Catedral where the ski resort is.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad the half-day tour fit your schedule. Hope you enjoyed your time in Bariloche!
This was a fun tour of the area that let us see different parts and even do some hiking. It was accessible for my father who is older and can’t walk much. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour to others interested in a quick visit to notable places around Bariloche.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad the tour was enjoyable and accessible for your father. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon!
