Great day with the gauchos

5.00Maria was a terrific guide, and the whole experience was outstanding. From walking around San Antonio de Areco, to the horse back riding, and especially the asado and wine at the estancia, it was a memorable day and a great taste of Argentina.
Sorry to say, it’s a hot, exhausting tour.

2.00The tour guide and driver are the best. They were so nice, they were on time waiting at my air bb. The tour sours at the ranch. The tour was overbooked. We waited over an hour to ride the horses around a path for 15 minutes, it was very hot. You don’t see nature, it’s a path. Food was not good, the meat that was served was a lot of fatty meat with bones. At the end of the tour, there is a dance performance and a horse performance. If I had known how long and hot this tour would be I would never have gone. It was a hot and exhausting day. Everyone is very nice, but the flow of the tour needs improvement.

The setting was perfect for enjoying the holiday, complemented by excellent drinks, delicious food, and wonderful music. The dancing and atmosphere beautifully captured the romance of gaucho culture, with the pampas providing a breathtaking backdrop. Don’t hesitate to book—this is an experience you’ll remember forever.

Fun Daytrip Outside the City

5.00Delightful visit. Since it’s summer vacation time, the whole family participated, escorted the riding and dancing. The guide was helpful in keeping us on schedule and providing translation. Meeting the senior gaucho gave personal perspective on the hard life cowboys faced in the mid twentieth century (and he also gave an outstanding classical guitar performance). Lunch was very tasty, though way too much food—nobody left hungry.
Amazing experience!

5.00Our tour guide Veronica was great. The farm and the whole experience was one of a kind. Highly recommend for a one day trip. We were picked up at 8:30 AM and returned around 5:30 PM.
Beautiful day.

5.00Wonderful experience. Very well organized tour from pick up to drop off at the Hotel. Our guide Marina was very professional, nice and kind.. La Estancia was very nice, with horses, sheep, goats, chickens and peacocks. Very good food, from Asado to Malbek wine. Great entertainment with final demonstration of horse whisper. I'd say a wonderful day in the country. I recommend it.
Disappointed

2.00The biggest problem is the agenda was not the same as the description with a few items were skipped. The silversmith didn’t happen. The chocolate factory was closed. The gaucho skill demonstration didn’t happen.
