★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 226 reviews · 12 hours · from $40

A long, scenic Salta to Cafayate day trip with Quebrada de las Conchas viewpoints and a winery tasting featuring Torrontés.

“Excellent trip and big shout out to my guide (ange/Angie) not sure how to say her name. She made such an effort to explain to me and the other non Spanish speaker about the area/history and everythijg we needed to know and was very kind with helping in general. Yes with this trip you do spend a long time on the bus but the scenery and stop points are outstanding. Would say maybe the lunch break doesn’t need to be 2 hours. Would rather have started 7.30/8am and had a shorter lunch than started 6.30am, but this is minor and I had a nice day.”

“Horrible horrible tour, First of all the company is completely disorganized. I asked for an English tour and they put me in the Spanish one without even ask. Second, the people working there don't know anything and are super rude. The tour it self for the cost is not worth it. You sit in a bus for the whole day listening the guide talking no stop, but really no stop, is unbelievable, I've never seen anything like that and I had the worst headache praying he would stop to talk even just for a sec. In the end was the worst tour I've ever been. Is my last time using…”

Cometi el error de contratar una excursion a Cachi el 12/11, por correo me confirmaron que no habia lugar y me devolverian la plata de la reserva. Al dia de la fecha no me devolvieron nada.
