Traveler reviews
A must do tour
Absolutely fantastic tour with Augustina and Pablo as driver. Great time exploring the beautiful park and its views. Also had lunch and time for chocolate and beer. Super fun
More time in the last stop.
I think the first stop at the dam could have been. Eliminated and mid time spent in the last place.
Fun day out.
Really good day out. Efficient pick up. Julietta kept us to time without rushing us. Her commentary was excellent and she did it in both Spanish and English. So double the work. The villages were lovely and the driver was really good. I wish I’d bought a swim suit.
MY VISITS TO THE SUMMIT
A very characteristic town that also has everything to enjoy holidays in even online jobs.- Totally recommend it for you to go and meet it.
Fun German village travels
This is a fun day trip full of sightseeing from a van - the trip there was a couple hours, which is a long ride but worth the time and there’s lots to see along the way. Augustine and Armando, our guide and driver, provided not only excellent historical information but also additional recommendations of things to do while in Cordoba and Argentina. We visited two German villages, getting both a small village and midsize town experience. The village also had a walk to see a waterfall included. We had lunch there as well. Shopping was fun, be mindful of the siesta which caused many to close during the afternoon.
