5.00Nico was so sweet and so knowledgeable! I peppered him w questions the entire ride and he was super knowledgeable on the glacier, the area and more. Took lots of pics of us & gave great recs. Was also super flexi with pickup and drop off so we were able to bring our bags and get dropped at the bus station! So glad we went this route instead of a large group tour- so much more personal and also affordable. Would totally recommend! Entered as strangers & left as friends. Thank you again Nico!!!

5.00We used Nico’s service for the Airport transfer in El Calafate, and to and from El Chalten. Nico was courteous, and friendly. His driving was very safe, and he gave us his time to stop to take pictures etc, and answer a lot of our questions, as we are very curious about the places we visit. He also gave us recommendations for food in both places. His pricing was fair, so we would definitely recommend him for his transfer services. Muchas Gracias Nico!
Friendly, punctual, great communication, and excellent local insights.

He was always timely for pickup and drop-off, including at the airport, and communication was easy and smooth. His friendly approach made the experience even more enjoyable. It was truly a pleasure using Nico’s services, highly recommended!

5.00I highly recommend Nicolas and his services! As a travel agent, I was looking for affordable and reliable private transfers for a honeymoon couple, and Nicolas delivered exactly that. He even provided a larger vehicle for their very early airport transfer, giving them extra space to relax and rest during the three-hour drive. I only wish I had found him sooner, as I would have booked excursions with him as well. Thank you again for all your help!
Excellent, I recommend it
