The good full-day tours fill up weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes, and how they actually differ.
Luxury Mendoza wine tour with hotel pickup, guided tastings at 3 to 4 wineries, and a 5-course gourmet lunch with wine.
“We loved this tour. Fantastic value with a generous number of tastings, being able to meet winemakers and tour wineries. The included lunch was excellent, difficult to finish we had so much food.”
Small-group gaucho farm day from Buenos Aires with horse riding, folklore dancing, and an included BBQ lunch plus hotel pickup.
“This was a great day!!! Food was amazing (including being very accommodating to a celiac needing a gluten free experience.....5star). Enjoyed conversation, experience ( horse riding, gaucho life and food), and entertainment!!! Money well spent... Thank you ( Gracious!!!!)”
Full-day drive from El Calafate to El Chaltén for short hikes to Condors, a waterfall walk, and big Fitz Roy views.
“Had a wonderful day with Daniele and Máté the driver. Loads of interesting facts and some nice scenery along the way. Would’ve liked a bit more time to do some hiking but I understand that at this time of year it’s a bit limited in terms of daylight and it’s a long journey to get there.”
Full-day tour from Salta to Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca. See 7 Color Hill, Cuesta del Lipan, and salt flats. $38, 13 hours.
“The guide Cesar and driver were fantastic . Very knowledgeable and supportive ciable. He had an excellent rapport with the visitors , and was professional, organised, flexible, and entertaining. His English was excellent, and he communicated well all the plans. Planned comfort breaks and a very good meal at Purmamarca. Salinas did not disappoint. All brilliant - thank you.”
Guided full-day Perito Moreno visit from El Calafate with walkways and optional 1-hour boat safari. Transfers and bilingual guide included.
“It was mesmerizing seeing the glacier and the boat ride is definitely worth it! Our guide provided all kinds of information on the bus ride from El Calafate. A fantastic experience!”
Full-day Salta to Cafayate tour with Quebrada de las Conchas photo stops, bilingual guide, and a quick torrontes wine tasting.
“It was great! Great guide, great place and a good way to connect with other travelers.”
Private full-day Iguazu Falls tour from Buenos Aires with reserved entry, park train access to Devil’s Throat, and optional navigation.
“This tour was excellent…the best way to see the Falls if you are in Buenos Aires and you only have one day. Our guide, Carlos was great as were our drivers in Iguazu and Buenos Aires. We saw everything on the Argentina side. Highly recommended!!!”
A full day in Mendoza chasing big Andes views, from Potrerillos Dam to Puente del Inca and the Cristo Redentor monument, with free stops.
“It was great. Fantastically managed by driver Lucas and guide Ivan. Super interesting. I totally recommend it for everyone willing to know Aconcagua sorroundings.”
Full day Overland 4x4 to Torres del Paine from El Calafate with border help, short walks, boxed lunch, and big viewpoint stops.
“Great guide and driver. It was a long day but we were able to do most of the things listed on the itinerary.”
Full-day Salta to Cafayate tour through Quebrada de las Conchas, stopping at iconic cliffs, then tasting Torrontes at Cafayate wineries.
“The guide, Angie, was knowledgeable and upbeat. The catch was the bus that was subpar: windshield had a large crack as did the window next to our seat. Also, a number of seats were malfunctioning: either the did no hold an upright position or would not budge from "sleep/rest" position. On a long bus trip, we find essential that the bus be in top condition.”
Full-day Argentina side tour from Puerto Iguazu. Walk all Iguazu Falls circuits, ride the ecological train, and face Devil’s Throat.
“Speechless! 100 times better than Niagara Falls. Very easy to walk around. On the day I booked the additional boat trip to get close to the falls and I didn't regret it. Make sure you take a towel and note you'll get extremely wet so take flip flops to change into for the boat trip. There is a lot of walking but the waterfalls are massive. Plenty of time given for slow walkers.”
Private 7 to 8 hour Buenos Aires walk with free pickup, custom pacing, and guided stops from San Telmo to Recoleta Cemetery.
“We covered a lot of territory at a very pleasant pace. Guide shared a nice variety of insights on history architecture and other topics. He also suggested slight deviations to the preplanned route that he thought might be of interest to us, and they were.”
Luxury full-day cruise from El Calafate with gourmet lunch, condors, and panoramic glacier views, plus optional Perito Moreno footbridges.
“Views were beautiful and logistics were smooth. It could be a nice addition to have captions playing when the crew is explaining the glaciers and the area as it was difficult to listen carefully with all the other conversations going on the boat.”
Paddle the La Leona River from El Calafate, then hike petrified forest fossil hills with small-group guides, snacks, and hotel transport.
“Depending on the wind, quite a workout even with kayaking experience - made all the more enjoyable by the excellent and knowledgeable guides. Very fun mini-rapids on the enchanting La Leona river, in a rare and very hard to beat combination with a light hike through epic fossil hills. As a paleontology nerd and avid fossil hunter it was incredible to visit some of these important find sites. Picnic lunch overlooking the river only made us love this tour more. Off the beaten track, great combo of different landscapes to experience, and a perfectly small little group when we went. Would absolutely do again or even go for a longer…”
Full-day tour from Puerto Iguazu to Iguazu Falls’ Argentine side, with Devil’s Throat views, rainforest train, and flexible park circuits.
“This park was amazing! Definitely one of the most incredible places I’ve been. The guide did a good job and was also humorous. I liked that there were multiple options to eat for lunch.”
Sorted by what you would actually do with the day.
