Full-day tour from Salta to Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca: salt flats, 7 Color Hill, Cuesta del Lipan views, with hotel pickup for $38.
“Fantastic day out. The scenery was a dream and both the Salt flats & Purmamarca are a must visit.All very beautiful.Very well organised.Loved it.”
Andes day trip from Mendoza with coach stops at Potrerillos, Uspallata, Puente del Inca, and Aconcagua viewpoints.
“Overall it is a nice excursion. Expect to spend lot of time in the bus. Our tour guide Paula was the best so Carlito the driver. Our coach was noisy and a bit dated.”
Full-day gaucho ranch visit from Buenos Aires to Santa Susana, with empanadas, Argentine BBQ lunch, wine, and live gaucho skills shows.
“Great day. Plenty of food ,wine and beer. Great entertainment. Horse riding experience fun. Special thanks to Sophia and Alan, our tour guide and driver. Highly recommend this tour.”
Salta to Cafayate day trip with Quebrada de las Conchas viewpoints, Lerma Valley villages, and a bilingual wine tasting featuring Torrontés.
“Excellent trip and big shout out to my guide (ange/Angie) not sure how to say her name. She made such an effort to explain to me and the other non Spanish speaker about the area/history and everythijg we needed to know and was very kind with helping in general. Yes with this trip you do spend a long time on the bus but the scenery and stop points are outstanding. Would say maybe the lunch break doesn’t need to be 2 hours. Would rather have started 7.30/8am and had a shorter lunch than started 6.30am, but this is minor and I had a nice day.”
Don Silvano ranch day trip from Buenos Aires: empanadas, asado lunch, gaucho shows, mate, and optional horseback riding.
“Our guida I cant remember her name was delightful and so was our host at the ranch. The place is great and the food was good. I was traveling with my mom and brother and they both appreciated doing something different, and getting to the country side for a chenge of pace.”
One-day minibus tour from Salta to Cachi and the Calchaquí Valleys, with Los Cardones cacti, viewpoints, and a museum stop.
“This is a superb tour. It is a long day, but, worthwhile. The guide was excellent, with excellent English. There are many stops which are of a good duration. There are many good things to see and do on the tour and the price is very reasonabRead more”
One long Mendoza day of dams, Huarpe ruins, Puente del Inca hot springs, Aconcagua viewpoints, and Cristo Redentor in summer.
“Organização, o guia Federico e o motorista Matias foram ótimos. Paisagens maravilhosas!”
A full-day bus trip from Salta to Cachi and the Calchaquí Valleys, with Cuesta del Obispo views, a Los Cardones walk, and key Cachi sights.
“The guide Jasmine was fabulous! Very knowledgeable and funny, made our trip so enjoyable!”
Ride into the Andes from Mendoza with gauchos, learn mate, eat asado at 2700m, and enjoy a small-group ranch day.
“A truly amazing experience - a friendly and knowledgeable guide (Matias), a thoughtful and well planned itinerary and an unbeatable visit to the beautiful mountains! This was worth every penny - a small group meaning that it felt intimate but big enough to make friends, and the horse ride into the mountains and back was beyond expectations. Then the food, some of the best food we’ve ever eaten cooked over a stone fire in the middle of nowhere. An absolute must do and would rate even higher if we could!”
4 days in Salta Province with hotel pickup, a guide, and big views, from Cafayate wineries to UNESCO Salinas Grandes and Hornocal colors.
“It was really nice, I loved, the region is really beautiful, the landscape it is incredible, the food really tasty, the guides was so nice, they tried to pass all information about many things, the history and culture. It is a good place to go.”
A long Quebrada de Humahuaca day trip from Salta with Purmamarca colors, Tilcara culture, and UNESCO Humahuaca in one steady ride.
“È stato molto interessante vedere i paesini della Quebrada de Humauaca, ma purtroppo non abbiamo sentito la spiegazione della guida perché la qualità del suono dell'altoparlante del bus era pessima. È stato un peccato perché abbiamo scelto questa escursione con guida proprio per avere le sue spiegazioni. Siamo rimasti delusi anche dalla vista delle montagne, che in realtà non sono così colorate come indicato nelle foto (almeno nel punto panoramico previsto nell'escursione).”
A 6-hour private walking tour through Buenos Aires landmarks, neighborhoods, and Recoleta Cemetery with an English guide.
“Excellent to see and learn about the history of the city”
Early day trip from Puerto Madryn to UNESCO Península Valdés. Walk among Magellanic penguins at San Lorenzo, then spot seals and coast wildlife.
“Surprisingly, it was a private tour! Martin, our guide, was great. The lunch break at San Lorenzo was very good at fair prices. You can pay there by card. The penguins were a unique experience.”
Private Iguazu Falls day trip from Buenos Aires with airfare, hotel pickup, reserved park entry, and a guide. Long, organized, wow.
“Tangol Tour arranged our day. Picked up at hotel at 6:30 AM, dropped off at downtown airport. Due to last minute change, some confusion for pickup time & flight info. 1 1/2 hr flight from Buenos Aries to Iguazu. Our private tour guide Alex met us at the airport. Can’t say enough good about him. We experienced in 6 hrs what generally takes a full day in the park. He was aggressive getting us on train & boat ride under San Martins falls, which was a great experience, but you do get drenched! We did the train to Devils Throat hike, hiked the Upper Falls trail, had a buffet lunch,…”
Ride 16 km by electric scooter through Buenos Aires, sampling mate, alfajor, chipá, fernet, and ending in Plaza Serrano.
“Mike and Rita did a great job explaining how the scooters worked and made sure we could use them before we went on tour. Mike was very knowledgeable about Argentina’s history and provided us with information at each stop along the waRead more”
