I Do not recommend this company I did a pre-planned day trip of Argentina. It was arranged they pick me up from nearby hotel. I msg to confirm and they changed the plans and I had to meet there which wasn’t Easy to find. I attempted many times to contact them via the phone numbers they provided and concierge also attempted, but they never responded. Then I only got half the tour. Try other more reliable and reputable companies.

We took this tour with Rodrigo guiding us in late February just before the coronavirus shut down travel. Having the personal attention of a private tour was great and Rodrigo quickly gauged our interests and modified the tour to meet our interests as we went. We were fortunate being in the region during Carnivale celebrations and to be able to experience the thrill and chaos of the occasion. There were many highlights of an action packed few days but the Hornocal, Salinas Grandes and San Salvador de Jujuy stand out. Rodrigo’s knowledge of the history and culture and personal contacts were excellent and really added to our enjoyment. We can highly recommend this trip and Poncho Tours service from the booking process, airport pickup and arrangements generally were exemplary.

In December 2019 my wife and I, along with two friends, were treated to an an amazing three day trip around northern Salta Province followed by a more extended six day trip to the south of the province. I say treated because we were in the extraordinarily capable hands of Five Senses Salta. We were taken to a number of fascinating villages where we shopped and dined and also listened to some wonderful ethnic music. We traversed some of the most amazing and varied landscapes - multi coloured rocky valleys, vast open desert plains of cactus and blasted twisted rock formations, ancient native settlements, lush vineyards and river valleys and at one point a seemingly endless salt plain. The hotels we stayed in were top class - a delight to arrive at and we were always sad to leave - but the road beckoned. We travelled in two separate cars which were very comfortable. Given the often demanding road conditions, our drivers were more than up to the task and as guides were full of interesting and relevant information. The trip was part of a more extended visit to South America, including Lima and Machu Picchu in Peru. This part of the trip was also organised via Five Senses contacts based in Lima. We definitely enjoyed the trip of a lifetime with Five Senses. It was easy to communicate with Gareth and his team, who always responded quickly to any questions and tailored the trip to meet our needs in every respect. Airport and hotel pick ups were efficient, cars and drivers of the highest quality and rest days built in to our itinerary. Can’t recommend Salta Province and Five Senses highly enough. Thanks to all.

I booked this tour in January for a morning tour with English guide, for our visit to Salta in March. The company quickly contacted me to arrange an alternative pick up point as our hotel was not on their designated pick up list. They suggested outside the station would be nearer for us but never confirmed they would pick us up there. ( I later found out this was actually further away from our hotel than their office which would have been their default option) The day before the trip they asked us to contact the office to confirm our pick up and places on the trip. When we phoned they said there was not a trip in the morning with an English speaking guide ( only in the afternoon..)but they would try to get one. They then let us know by what’s app the only one available was in the afternoon ( but we were flying onwards then so no good for us) and they didn’t know it was mandatory for us to have a trip in the morning!!!! Yet it was advertised as that on trip advisor!!! So I rang them again and asked for a refund but the agent said I would have to claim that through TA and on this occasion he thought it was acceptable. I waited to contact Viator by phone when I was back in the Uk because the automated form online does not give you the opportunity to explain the circumstances for your request for a refund. Viator were very helpful but even then they had to contact Nordic Travel for acknowledgement of the incorrect advertising of a trip that was not actually available as booked. 24 hours later I received an email to confirm my full refund. I will avoid using Nordic Travel in the future.

It is all very nice but the best is Pumamarca. Spare a couple of days to stay there and explore and enjoy that amaizing place. El Tren de la Nubes was a deception. Very good organization but they don’t have a policy to return the money to somebody who gave a 3 days in advance cancelation. You will not enter the clouds, it’s just a name and crossing a 150 feet bridge is ........
