I don't know lose it!

Excellent experience. Amazing coordination with all the guides. They explain in English and Spanish beautifully. Too bad people prefer the picture over listening. Friendly and attentive treatment of the crew. An expensive excursion but worth every peso paid.

It's worth it!!!

We did four tours with them, the Perito Moreno, Glacier Gourmet (no doubt the best and most surprising of them), El Chaltén and Nativos Experience and really is a serious and committed company. From the first information to the choice of the best weather days and best tours with our 4-year-old son they were very attentive and careful. They were also punctual, with very cool guides and full of information, new, clean and safe vehicles. In addition, you can pay with card, cash or pix valuing the real currency in exchange. It is worth hiring, super recommend!

Five Star service and experience

We were hesitant to do the Premium Room because the cost is significantly higher. However, we were pleasantly surprised with the level of service, the quality of the food and the overall experience! From the small breakfast, the Chivas on the glaciar rocks, to a great lunch and the ability to see the glaciares from a small, reserved balcony, the whole thing was fantastic. The information provided at every stop was very detailed too. Tip: do the walkways at the end of the trip ( additional cost) as the crowds have disappeared in the late afternoon.

Excellent

Great tour, well organized and punctual. The turquoise maria boat has great facilities, comfortable and clean. The staff is attentive and helpful. The lamb snack was delicious, a pleasant surprise. We made the option of walking on the passages in perito moreno...I recommend this option because we did all the glaciers and it was not necessary to move on another day of 80 km....only for the passages. It was a great walk...

Argentina's Glaciars

The moments that the boat was approaching every glacier are unforgivable and provided the best photos/selfies of a lifetime

It is worth it

It is an extensive and interesting navigation. With opportunities for lots of photos and landscapes to remember. The meal is not good. But the boat bar has cookies, alfajores, croissants and various drinks (alcoholic and not). I think you can bring a more interesting snack than the lunch served (a sandwich and a small pot of dulce de leche mousse). There were a lot of people taking it. There is a second floor on the boat, which seemed to have more sophisticated options and a private terrace.
