You will get your hands dirty! In a good way, mixing and kneading on your way to creating delicious alfajores. The most interesting part for me was learning about and participating in the custom of brewing and sharing yerba mate.
Amazing experience where I learnt about the local drinks and Mate. Loved it and would recommend for new travelers.
You get to take part in the whole process with both making mate and alfajores yourself, which was very nice.
Super experience! Lots of history and lots of culture! The guide is tremendous knowledgeable and explains you very well! Thank you so much for the hospitality
We turned up with our ticket after having paid upfront and no one was there… this is a scam. Now having no to figure out how to contact someone to be reimbursed. Time wasted on a brief city trip to BA
We really enjoyed the Mate experience with Thomas. He was very friendly, kind, knowledgeable. We tried various kinds of mate and learned a lot about this interesting and historical beverage that is unique to the area.
Dear Sw217, Many thanks for your review! We are very happy to hear you tried out this iconic beverage and enjoyed the experience with Tomas! Hope to see you again in Buenos Aires, thank you once more for your feedback! Axel
Excellent idea, whenever I visit Argentina I saw that everyone took something weird, they passed it on and everyone took it. Until a few months ago I saw this tour, and a few days ago I knew what it was, I tried it and I loved it. Layers at first it costs but it is very rich. They have to prove it to be able to say that they know Argentina.
Dear malmuri45, Thank you very much for your review! We are very happy to hear you finally tried out some mates! It´s an experience everyone should try at least once when they are in Argentina. Hope to see you again in Buenos Aires, thank you once more for your feedback! Axel
