Great! They exceeded our expectations. Both online management and support, during our preparation of the excursion was unbeatable. The best thing was its ability to adapt to the circumstances of the cruise because it and due to inclement weather on the high seas, delayed the arrival at Madryn port 5 hours, so we could not make the excursion to the Punta Tombo Reserve. We were quickly offered an excursion alternative adapted to the time the boat remained in port. A City Tour + visit to Punta Loma where we could see a colony of sea lions, and a city tour of the most important places, ending with a tasting of craft beers. All accompanied by Cecilia (local guide) who combined the explanations in English and Spanish (only 2 pax) and the driver Mariano. Thanks guys!
