Good tour guide and easy to locate guide coming off the cruise ship. Very pleasant experience.
The city tour could have saved the trip to the largest factory in the region. Otherwise, it's fine. Beautiful views of the sea lions and the cliffs.
Great city tour and Debra was a very good tour operator. We saw lots of sea lions and interesting stops around the city
Not too exciting but to be honest there is not a lot to get excited about. Enjoyed the trip out to Punto Loma to see the sea lions and the informative talk about the history of the region from Guillame. A couple of view stops on the way back to town.
Fiora was a great guide. She shared local knowledge & helped ensure the trip ran smoothly & all guests enjoyed the experience. Cesar was a good, safe driver. Fun trip!
It was good. Cheaper than through cruise line. Maria tried her best to provide a lot of information.
You can see the sea lions from far away. Disappointing. One little bus ride, no more. Okay, no more, for the asking price.
Hello, We are sorry to hear that the excursion did not meet your expectations. The distance from which the sea lions can be observed is regulated to protect wildlife and comply with the national park's regulations. Our priority is always the well-being of the animals and the safety of our visitors. However, we understand that every experience can be unique, and we sincerely thank you for your feedback, which helps us improve our services. Sincerely, The Punta Tombo Turismo Team
Deborah and Carlos where excellent and gave us a overall impression of the area, as well as taking us to see the sea lion's at lorma,had plenty of time there and stopped on the way back to see some more land marks.
Trip is very guide oriented. Our guide, Guillermo was great. He was very knowledgeable and kept close eyes on all. Open to questions with pleasant demeanor. Our day was super windy.
Communication with Punto Tombo Tourismo was very good and the service from the driver and tour guide was excellent. Deborah was a mine of information on Puerto Madryn. We were there on an extremely windy day but they were very accommodating and informative. The view of sea lions was from the top of the cliff and there were lots there. Mums and babies and a couple of dads. You need a good camera to get close up photos. You do not get close to them.
