“Our tour guide, Lourdes, was fantastic! She had a great sense of humor and was quite knowledgeable. I really feel like I learned quite a few things today! The transportation coach had nice AC which was a big plus. It was a long day, but it didn't really feel like it. My only comment for improvement would be to inform the guests when you're running late. Overall, I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the wine country.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 347 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $32

Explore Salta’s Quebrada de las Conchas, red-rock formations, Cafayate, and Torrontés wine on a long, low-cost day trip.

“The tour guide Ximena and the driver Mario were both fantastic. The drive is beautiful and we found a lovely place to try local food and wines in Cafayate on our own. I wish there was a tour that made more stops and spent more time in the scenic places. This itinerary seems pretty typical but I think instead of trying to do a little bit of everything (scenic stops, wine tour, shopping) having more focused tours would be better, even though it’s still obviously a limited time and there’s only so much that’s possible on such a far day trip. I understand why people say to rent a car…”

“Very cool excursion! We were very lucky with our guide - Angie is very charming and extremely interesting to listen to. The excursion itself was interactive, there was no time to get bored. We were introduced not only to the most beautiful places, but also to culture and folklore. And all this with humor and ease. The guide spoke excellent Spanish (her native language, of course), but also English, there were no problems in understanding. Thanks a lot! I highly recommend this excursion!”

6.Full-Day Tour to Cafayate, Land of Wines

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 74 reviews · 11 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $38

Review of Salta’s Cafayate wine tour, with Quebrada scenery, winery tasting, costs, timing, heat, transport, and practical booking advice.

“This was advertised as an English tour. There wasn't much English during the tour, and the one winery we visited offered no English during our time there. I didn't learn anything during the tour. The driver was racing to get around and had no concern for the passengers in the back. The guide blasted music during the return trip that woke people up from their naps. We unknowingly had two tours with the same company, and they switched the tours without telling us. This was a confusing and awful experience for us. I cannot recommend this tour or company.”
