Lots of Animals

A great tour if you love animals. We chose the Peninsula Valdes option since we were on a cruise ship and the distance was shorter than Punta Tumbo. It was still a distance since the Peninsula and National Park are rather large, but we were able to do the tour within 6 hours. There were lots of animals to see including Guanoco, Elephant Seals, Sea Lions, and Penguins although they were out for a swim when we were there. Max was a great guide, always making timely stops, a good driver and providing helpful information. The company communicated well before the tour and was very professional.

Operator response

Thank you Mary, we are happy to know that you liked the tour and to know that Maxi did a great job. He is one of our best guides! We hope to receive you another time! Best regards

Best day of our 2 week trip in Argentina!

I highly recommend this organization! There are many tour companies to choose from from in this area but I was impressed by the organization and clear communication from the beginning. Lucia was helpful, responsive, and clear. She helped to tailor an incredible day for us and went above and beyond to ensure we got to see as many penguins as possible- one of our goals. Secondly, this company has great tour guides. We had Santiago as our tour guide and he was simply amazing. He's incredibly knowledgable and passionate about the area both in terms of the nature and its history. He was kind, flexible, and was accessible not just for my husband and me, but for my kids - ages 10 and 7. I cannot say enough good things about our day with Sussanich Turismo. This was the absolute best day of our trip.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Lucia and Santiago helped make your day unforgettable. It’s wonderful to know you had such a great experience with us and that the penguins were a highlight! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family again soon.

Late to Puerto Madryn

Max, our guide was great, but our tour was greatly shortened & altered because of a 3 1/2 hr late docking because of high winds. Max did a good job with what he was given. We did not make to Point Valdes because of time constraints.

Operator response

Hello Gary! Thank you for leaving us a review! Sadly like you said, due to the high winds the original tour could not be completed. We are happy that you enjoyed the tour offered instead. Best regards

Península Valdés

We would highly recommend taking a tour with this company. They are very professional. Lucy reached out to me after I booked a private tour for my family. She explained the options for us so we could choose the best one for our interests. Mariano was our tour guide, he was waiting for us when we disembarked from the ship. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. He taught us about the area and wildlife. We enjoyed spending the day with him. He even took us to his favorite ice cream factory before taking us back to the ship.

Operator response

Hello! Thank you very much for rating our tour. Mariano is an exceptional driver-guide who always goes above and beyond on his tours, so we know that you are in good hands when you travel with him. We are glad to know that everything was to your liking. We hope to see you another time! Regards from Sussanich Turismo team

Great private car tour to see the penguins- very interesting and well worth it

We did the tour with Sussanich Turismo, by private car, to Punta Tombo to see the penguins. This was a fantastic tour, and I am so grateful we did it by private car. From beginning to end, the tour company- Sussanich Turismo - was excellent to work with. Great and frequent communication- never any doubt about what to do, where to be etc. Our driver/guide was Maxi. He was excellent- friendly and knowledgeable. By being a private tour just for the two of us- we got started quickly. Maxi got us to Punta Tombo 40 minutes before the tour buses arrived (that changes the dynamics quite a bit). We had a great time seeing the penguins and learning about their habitat. I was amazed at how completely oblivious they were to us in close proximity. It was all very interesting. We also saw a variety of birds, herds of guanacos, and even the “hairy armadillo”. The excursion is a fairly long day, but it was worth it - definitely do the private car like we did and not a group tour!

Operator response

Hello, thank you very much for leaving us such a detailed opinion of your tour. We know that Maxi is one of our best driver-guides, we are glad that the service provided by him has been satisfactory. We appreciate that you were able to recognize the benefits that a private tour brings. We hope to see you another time Regards from the team of Sussanich Turismo

Best Day in Puerto Madryn!

Mariana was amazing! She was waiting for us when we got off the ship. She drove us out to the peninsula to see so many animals. We had the most beautiful views of the water and saw the most amazing animals! We learned so much and had a great time! Thank you so much!

Operator response

Hello, we are very happy to know that you had a great experience with Mariana. We know that she is an excellent driver guide. Thank you very much for choosing us Kind regards

Penguins and More Penguins

I booked this tour as a result of all the Celebrity Cruise excursions being sold out. It was the best decision we made! Our driver, Max, met us at the end of the pier and within minutes we were on our way for the two hour drive to Punto Tomba . We arrived before any of the other tour buses and had the park to ourselves for almost 90 minutes. There were so many penguins and lamas! And with the private tour, we were not rushed. On the way back, Max stopped at a couple of other sites so that we could take photos including a lake with flamingos and the dino statue. We loved the personal experience with a private tour and would highly recommend them.

Operator response

Hello Mary! Thank you very much for leaving us your evaluation of the service. We are very happy to know that our guide Maxi exceeded your expectations of the tour. A pleasure to have received you Greetings from the team of Sussanich Turismo
