“Jose, the guide, was wonderful and his English was good. Jose and his assistant were very nice and hospitable. It's a long drive to his ranch, but definitely worth it. He provided a lovely, homemade breakfast and was very attentive to us during the horseback ride, which was long (but not too long or too short!) and had beautiful scenery full with mountains, river, cows, horses, and geese! We returned to a fabulous BBQ with his ranch's beef, corn on the cob, salad, roasted vegetables, and plenty of wine for a late lunch. This was served at his riverside gazebo on the ranch along with his assistant.”
Luján wine tasting day with three boutique wineries, 10+ wines, and a 6-course gourmet lunch with paired wine, plus hotel pickup.
“We had an excellent experience with Stéphane on this tour! My partner and I were met with friendly, knowledgeable hosts at each winery that provided in-depth knowledge of the winery, history, and culture surrounding the experience. The food at the lunch was truly unparalleled- the spread featured modern takes on Argentinian classics with locally sourced, fresh ingredients that complemented the provided wines beautifully. This tour is great for folks looking to experience something beyond the industrial winery tours- with each spot feeling familial and extremely personal. We would enthusiastically repeat this experience and recommend to anyone.”

Hike Aconcagua’s base camp area from Mendoza on a small-group trek with hotel pickup, bilingual guide, and photo-ready Andean views.
“I'll start by saying our guide and driver were great. There were three things I'll call out and were not clear: 1. Part of the description leads you to believe lunch is included. It is NOT. This is clear in the "what's included" section. Viator needs to fix the description. We got confused because of the conflicting information. Our driver stopped in Upsallata and we grabbed lunch there, so no big deal. Just know lunch is not included. 2. We had arranged for a 7:20 pickup time. Turns out we did not get picked up until 8:00. The operator decided last minute on a later start. I would have liked…”

“We enjoyed a tranquil ride into the serene Andes Mountains. The trip was well-organized. The horses were gentle and well-trained. Even a first-time rider would feel comfortable on these horses. We rode through valleys, along ridges, and crossed streams. The list of what to pack was helpful, as the weather changes quickly at the high altitude. The gaucho host, Daniel, prepared amazing asado beef for lunch in the mountains. What a wonderful experience to be in the quiet wilderness with expert guides.”
