5.00We spent a great day with Clara who was bi-lingual and easily switched back and forth from English to Spanish as she navigated us through the peninsula. We saw llamas sheep horses armadillos sea lions elephant seals and ORCAS on our day long trek in an air conditioned van. We were 14 passengers and weren’t rushed or crowded. Tanks for a great day.
See beautiful Peninsula Valdes with a private guide.

5.00We had a wonderful day seeing the countryside in the peninsula. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and stopped to show us a lot of animals. I highly recommend this tour and he made sure we were back in plenty of time to board the ship.
