5.00One of the most beautiful days I've ever had. As an experience is fun, the landscapes, the Towers are majestic and the guides make it easy for you to go well. I recommend it without any doubt.
Torres, if you want to see Delpaine, I'd love to.

4.00It's the best tour I've ever been on. I enjoyed the experience. It is a pity that the commentary in Chile was mostly in Spanish and very little English.
Great tour. Well worth it.

5.00They pick you up and drop youiff at your hotel. A long ride in a 4 wheel type bus. A lot of bouncing but it gets you there. The views are incredible. The tour covers all the best sites and includes an hour hike. Lunch is good and adequate. Best to bring a little extra food for dinner.
Not that great tour

3.00This trip is over rated and there is only the lake that you see and there is an hour hike and you will see same lake. Just a different view. That was the highlight of the tour then we got to see a little waterfalls and that concluded the 3hours travel to Torres del Paine. Then another 3 hours back to El Calafate. Tour guides were great though, there were 2 of them. One from Argentina side and one from Chile.
Great place and people I met

5.00Torres del Paine National Park was beautiful and truly a once in a lifetime experience. Matias (Tour Guide) and Mauro (Driver) made a great team with getting everyone through the border crossings and back very efficiently. They were very kind, thoughtful, welcoming, funny and informative. You could tell that they love what they do which added to our wonderful Patagonia experience! I didn't think the tour was too long either. Thanks soo much!! :)
Absolutely great!

5.00We had an incredible time on this tour - a highlight of our Patagonia trip. We only had a few days there so a day trip was perfect. The day was long (but ample time to nap if you please) - but a must do!!! It was approx 5-6 hours in the car total over the course of the day. We got back to the city center around 9:00pm which is dinner time in El Calafate anyways so it worked out well. The tour guides were fantastic, spoke English well and were very helpful in answering questions throughout the day. We went to multiple places in Torres Del Paine and each was better than the previous. They lunch provided was not great - so I’d suggest bringing extra snacks for yourself. I suggest sneakers / hiking boots, and layers. Some places were cool while others were incredibly windy and cold. Overall, a PHENOMENAL, trip. Would love to go there again and stay longer.
great day trip adventure

5.00Loved the trip and our guides - everyone was polite and informative. We had sufficient number of stops (though perhaps include one short stop to take pictures of guanacas, which were everywhere along the road, just a few yards away from the road). We are discerning travelers and were wary of this upcoming day trip, but were happy to see how everything was smoothly organized. Lunches are OK, but you have a chance to bring your own food and also buy more food on the way back, at a local Chilean joint.
