5.00In the nicest possible way, it would be a huge mistake to NOT book this tour! It was probably the best day of our holiday! Marcello was the best tour guide. He was so accommodating, informative, and funny, and really just felt like a friend hanging out with us by the end! The ranch was so beautiful, and the food was delicious! With the long horse ride, all the food and wine, and dancing at the end, this tour more than worth the price! The empanada snack was the best empanadas we had on our whole trip, and the tango dancing at the end was interactive and fun. And the handsome Gaucho ‘Sebastian’ didn’t hurt either! ;) The whole experience made us want to come back to the ranch and stay at the hotel in the future!
Amazing beautiful experience

5.00What an amazing experience, from door to door pick up and drop off. The tour around Areco town was awesome Our guide Laurie was so knowledgeable and nice you can tell she loves the town. Being a small town a lot of businesses are owned and operated by family so if it’s vacation time they are closed so there are she has options of other places you can see. We learned a lot. The Estancia (ranch) was beautiful wonderful snack upon arrival, plenty of Green space a small playground and a couple of swings. Gentle trail ride suitable for everyone my daughter (6yrs) and I rode together. I would highly recommend this tour it’s worth it.
