Great tour

Great half-day tour covering three of the best attractions in Bariloche. We were lucky to have beautiful weather, too!"

Save your money

Have to pay extra if you do not speak Spanish - it feels like an unnecessary up charge considering the guide spoke 3 languages. I barely heard anything in English, most of the communication was in another language. Guide was nice and the tour is nice but I’d suggest just taking the number 20 bus to save your money

Fantastic tour with breathtaking scenery and wonderful guide.

Fabulous introduction to the area. Beautiful mountains and lakes. It gets fresh up in the mountains so bring a cardigan and wear comfortable shoes.
