We spent a great day with Clara who was bi-lingual and easily switched back and forth from English to Spanish as she navigated us through the peninsula. We saw llamas sheep horses armadillos sea lions elephant seals and ORCAS on our day long trek in an air conditioned van. We were 14 passengers and weren’t rushed or crowded. Tanks for a great day.
Wonderful way to see Peninsula Valdes. This private tour gets you up close to the wildlife and away from the crowds
We had a wonderful day seeing the countryside in the peninsula. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and stopped to show us a lot of animals. I highly recommend this tour and he made sure we were back in plenty of time to board the ship.
The driver and guide have discovered many animals to me during the trip and we were able to observe and photograph the animals in peace (and joy).
