Excellent service. I took the tour to Purmamarca and the Salt Flats with Abel, who brought a lot of energy to the tour and made it much more entertaining. He also knew a lot and gave explanations in both Spanish and English.
Today we traveled to the Salinas Grandes in Jujuy with the driver and guide DAVID. A genius in every way you look at it. Driving and explaining everything. We learned history, geography, and local traditions. Very grateful
An excellent experience with Fernando and Rafael. Excellent communication with everyone and very kind. An unforgettable excursion.
That's exactly how I would describe this company. We were given 45 minutes to visit the main attractions, 10 of which we didn't spend at all because they didn't have change. That was barely enough time to take photos. Instead, they repeatedly persuade you, over and over again, to go to a strange market where they sell all sorts of rags as souvenirs. It's sad. However, I would like to commend the incredible work of the guide Abel. He's very good, the most professional guide in all of Argentina, which we've seen so far, from Patagonia to the north.
The tour was very nice, Abel was really great tour guide. Going out of his way to comfort the tourists and make sure everyone is fine. He spoke good English. It's a long drive but it's worth it.
Beautiful experience, very good driving from the driver, incredible landscapes. We were very well taken care of by our guides, who were concerned and looked after a person who felt the effects of the altitude, and everything went very well.
It was a beautiful and fun trip! 100% recommended. Thanks to the driver Juan for making it possible and for his music selection, and to María for the information, patience, and good vibes!
Our experience was spectacular. The landscapes are amazing and the guide María is very fun and makes the long distance pleasant and passes even faster. In addition, she is very attentive and caring, ensuring everyone's well-being. I highly recommend!
I went with Maria, the guide, who is absolutely brilliant; I want her for my group of friends The driver, I don't remember his name, was also very good
Beautiful experience, the driver Juan and the guide Maria were a success, attentive to how we felt and ensuring we had a wonderful time.
