Excellent.

Beautiful landscapes. Every stop to observe and take photos is incredible, and Sofi, the guide we had, was very patient, kind, and knew everything about everything. Excellent guide! 100% recommended.

Adequately named mountain

Very impressive. The tour is a very comfortable way to reach the famous thundering glacier. My guide Claudio was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. There was a stop during the tour for lunch, only one of the two spots had an option to pay with credit. Make sure to pay attention to the top of the glacier for avalanches - afterwards there is a great thundering sound.

Tronador

This a great full day Tour. There are plenty of opportunities to take photos/videos. Be aware that one of the lunch restaurants doesn't accept credit cards but you can quickly walk to another, bigger restaurant that does. Listen for the avalanches at the glacier, they sound like distant thunder rumbles.
