A practical review of Mendoza’s $43 half-day wine tour, with two winery tastings, olive oil, transport, guides, value, and useful tips.
“The tour in general was ok, unfortunately in our first stop the guide didn't count the people on the bus and they left us. The manager of the winery has to call the company to tell the driver that they forgot 2 passengers, and after almost 1/2 hour of waiting for them they came to pick us up.”

“German was outstanding. Shared his insights into Buenos Aires and Argentina: culture, history, food, wine, geography, economics, architecture and even a little politics. The ride was super easy and a great way to move through the “green spaces” of the north side. Highly recommend this ride guided by a delightful soul: German (not actually pronounced like the country)”
A practical Tierra del Fuego National Park review covering the Pan-American Highway, Lake Acigami, optional train, costs, guides, and timing.
“Not really interesting. Time was set to 4 hours, but it took 5½ hours. You get to see a lake, taken to the train, ride it. After that they drive to a beaver dam and end with another lake view. Nothing is really interesting. Ohh and the warm surprise they mention... we didn't get any. So much is wrong with the tours description you honestly should look for another.”

Cruise the Tigre Delta, browse Puerto de Frutos, and see Tigre’s museums on a practical five-hour tour from Buenos Aires.
“We were told by the first guide that there was a snack bar in the boat, nothing. The toilet no soap or hand towel. We couldn’t hear the commentary. The stop at the fruit market was too short 30 mins, we stopped for a coffee & beers as there was nothing on the boat and had to leave before they arrived. Our guide was changed half way. The second guide was very informative. We liked the content of the tour. Very interesting.”
