Frustrating
The tour is beautiful, but until 1 p.m. it is only a stop for lunch at an expensive restaurant with no option for those who do not want to have lunch.

Travel to Ushuaia Lapataia National Park and End of the World Train. All very explained in history, geography.
Very well organized each excursion. They met the schedules to pick us up and drop us off again at the hotel. Very friendly driver and coordinator. The coordinator Marisol very prepared to tell the stories of the place and a lot of knowledge of history and geography. I also really liked the attention we received from Rodri, Ana, Marce and Lauty.

Nice walk
I liked the tour, beautiful view of Valle Carbajal, we had a toast stop at Cerro Castor, but unfortunately the weather was cloudy in the hidden lake and we did not have the panoramic view at Paso Garibaldi view. Nor did we go to Lake Fagnano, they said that only in the summer, but I do not remember reading this in the description of the tour. On the return we stopped at the llanos del castor for lunch, did not know that there was this stop, but as it was the only option, we had to eat there, dear, but very cozy restaurant and very tasty food. The guide Jessi from Enterprise Pinguinos was super attentive, was explaining everything. I think it was worth it, but it could be a cheaper ride.

A warm experience
We want to highlight the assistance of Nicolas who helped us from the beginning with the booking and the guide Jesica for his wisdom and spontaneity both on this excursion and on the city tour, not only providing us with a nice experience at a professional level but with his warmth in terms of treatment and his good willingness and patience at all times. We recommend both the agency and the tour for those who want to live a more authentic experience in Ushuaia.
