We booked late Tuesday for a Wednesday morning trip. Rodrigo met us at the end of the pier. As there was only 2 of us we had a car and our guide was Juan. We did a tour of the town and south beaches, including various monuments, Juan was very informative. We stopped for a snack and drink on a lovely beach. Our last stop was Punta Loma where we saw the seal lions. Highly recommend and reasonably priced, and nothing was rushed!
We're so glad you enjoyed our beautiful city with us and liked the homemade empanadas against a lovely backdrop.
A great tour of the town, it's industry, history and fabulous secluded beaches. And, DON'T forget the sea lions. Our guide, Juan was incredibly knowledgeable and, being a local, could tell us all the personal information that you don't normally get on a big tour. Oh, and how could I forget the empanadas!
We're so glad you enjoyed it, especially with the help of local people! The landscapes, traditions, and food are what we want to share with every visitor like you! Thank you for choosing us.
Fabian was very flexible with our tour requests. He showed us lovey beaches and provided insightful information about the area and country. Delicious snakes and wine at a scenic spot. Language not a problem. Record the private tour.
Thank you so much for choosing us! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour and the homemade empanadas we made especially for you. Having a professional guide like Fabian is very rewarding and helps us grow every day.
Rodrigo was a fantastic guide. We saw and learned a lot. We really enjoyed learning about Puerto Madryn. The provided a fantastic wine and Empanada snack.
Thank you so much for choosing us. We are so happy you enjoyed the tour, its history, the people, the food, and the guide, who is excellent at his job and very knowledgeable.
We went on an excursion on February 11. Roberto, our guide, did a wonderful job. Despite the strong wind, we made all the planned stops. The viewpoint where we observed elephant seals was very convenient, and it was possible to take stunning photos. The next stop was especially impressive: we climbed one of the nearby hills (wear sneakers, as the ascent and descent can be slippery) and saw a breathtaking view of Patagonia. Afterwards, we had lunch with Malbec and the most delicious homemade empanadas prepared by Roberto and his wife. We recommend this trip. Thank you Katerina and George
I'm so glad you had a wonderful experience! It's an excursion you won't find anywhere else. Rodrigo, our guide who accompanied you that day, showed you places only locals know about and can get to! And something important... homemade empanadas made by a local! Thank you so much, Katerina and George, for enjoying it with us. Until next time!
Excellent tour for those coming in on cruise ships. Our guide met us at the pier holding a sign with our name so meeting up with him was seamless. Our ship was late getting in but I was able to communicate with our guide in advance and he was extremely accommodating. We saw the city’s highlights without the crowds of a busy bus and learned the history of this beautiful town. Our guide even brought homemade empanadas and a bottle of Malbec for a picnic lunch at the gulf - and insisted we take the leftovers with us (nearly a dozen!) It was a relaxing day, our car was comfortable, our driver was safe, and both made us feel extremely welcome.
I'm so glad your experience met your expectations! We're delighted to welcome you and anyone else who wants to experience Puerto Madryn in a unique way, served by locals and enjoying a day in the heart of the city. Thank you for choosing us!
