Outstanding experience - My nephwes and I enjoyed a wonderful day at the Estanchia El Ombu de Areco ranch with our private driver/guide Patrice. Great communication with Patrice and ourselves as well as our Travel Agent from the day we booked through the day we experienced this beautiful ranch. We also ended up using Patrice for airport transfers to EZE and he was reliable and prompt with a comfortable ride. I won't hesitate to book with Patrice and his company again in future trips to Buenos Aires. 5 stars all the way!
