Traveler reviews
Don't take this trip
Old bus, tight between the seats, information went in Spanish and English, and cutting Tango music in between talking,. Asked if they could silence the sound, but no, since talking went on the same tape. Had 2 stops, one on a bend, with a nice view, the other by a small lake, no one understood why we were shopping there, a lot of people on the bus gadd not to walk out. The trip to 1 hour and 15 minutes, was not the money they took.
Morning Bus Tour
This was a great way to see the city and surrounding neighborhoods of Ushuaia. Arrive about 15 minutes early and show your voucher to them ( they have their uniforms on.) an and in return they will give you a small ticket. At the start the commentary was sll in English and Lila did a great job. She was very friendly and nice snd give us lots of information about the history and developments about Ushuaia. The driver and commentator were very interesting and helpful It was a great way to see a lot of the surrounding areas in the “ valley” of the mountains. I would recommended this it was just under 2 hours. (Note: The bus is light blue and picks you opposite the main tourist information center on side of main road.)
Good overall, but the nails in the seats and difficulty hearing were negatives.
Overall fine. I was in seat 1A and there were 2 nails that stuck up through the edge of the cushion which was pretty uncomfortable. The first @ 10-15 minutes of the information broadcast was very difficult to hear so we missed quote a bit. The person speaking had a very quiet voice. The last part appeared to be a recording with much boost voices which was much better. It would also be helpful if the hosts reminded people to keep talking to a minimum as we had several very noisy people around us.
good weather heard the...
good weather heard the softies behind the building and the history of the area. Good way to get a walking tour created
