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.

The tour was very good. The mountains and Salinas Grandes were amazing. The driving and explanations were very good. However, we encountered some issues with that company. On the booking, they requested that we confirm the tour, so we sent a message through TripAdvisor 3 days before the tour. As we didn't get any reply, the day before the tour, in the morning, we went to their office in Salta. There, we learned that the part of the tour to San Antonio de los Cobres was cancelled because of some problem with the road. They never sent us any previous notice about that. The agent finally agreed to compensate us by giving a discount on a second tour to Cafayate that we booked with them, which was also interesting. By the way, the price of the tour on TripAdvisor is about twice as the average price for that tour offered by many agencies in the center of Salta. Finally, we received a reply to our request through TripAdvisor in the late afternoon of that day. That reply didn't mention that the visit to San Antonio would be omitted and stressed that we should be ready by 7:00 AM the next morning to be picked up. That morning, the minivan came very late, at about 8:00 AM. So the whole tour was delayed and we returned after 9:00 PM. Considering what happened, I asked the company to give us a more precise pick-up time for the second tour on the next day, which they did. They gave us a 20 minutes interval and for the second tour the pick-up was exactly in the specified period.

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 ........

We did a 12 day customized trip in 2018. Found this company through Zicasso, Kieran was great arranging it all and communication was easy. Our trip started in Buenos Aires where we did a cooking class at the Argentine Experience and took a tango lesson. Our dance instructors took us out to a milongo afterwards and we ended up staying out until 2am. It was great! We felt completely immersed in the culture. We then flew to Iguazu and toured the jungle, got blasted by the falls in a boat ride and saw all the incredible creatures that live there. Our last 5 days were spent hiking in Patagonia where we trekked the Perito Moreno Glacier, visited a ranch, and then drove to El Chalten for the final days. All of our transportation was provided, all internal flights booked by Kieran, and everything was just wonderful. To this day, it’s one of my favorite vacations!
