Buyer beware

This is not a tour guide as advertised. It is an overpriced private taxi ride. The driver was nice enough but knew no English as advertised.

Excellent private tour with a great driver

The private tour to El Chalten with Patagonia Executive Travel was brilliant from start to finish. Our driver, Gaby, picked us on time and drove us to El Chalten, stopping when we asked to take photos and also stopping at the Leona Hotel for a break half way there. We discussed our plans with us and she helped us with suggestions. We arrived at El Chalten at around 10:00am (7:00am pickup) and did the Mirador de los Cóndores hike and the Laguna Capri hike. Gaby then drove us to the Chorrillo del Salto waterfall (its only a 10 minute walk if you are driven there). We stopped various times coming back as the sky was perfectly clear. We never felt rushed and we have a great day out. Finally the office confirmed all the details on Whatsapp the day before which was reassuring.

Amazing experience!

We had a really lovely experience on this tour!! Pickup was right at our hotel and was on time! Our tour guide was extremely helpful and patient especially through the windy weather!! They were also so knowledgeable about the wildlife and answered all our questions! Would recommend for solo travelers, friends or families!

Memorable Private tour

Gabby was our private driver and guide. She customized our trip by adhering to our minimal-hike requirement. She stopped at several spots to take our pictures and engaged thoughtfully. She also spotted Jackal, Ostrich and Condor for us. It was a memorable day that we will remember for a long time. Highly recommend this. Best, Rama & Devi
