Gaucho ranch private tour - Had a great day at the Gaucho ranch. Did horse rides, had a great meal, the setting and ranch property is very nice. Our tour guide Facundo was fantastic, very knowledgeable and engaged.

An incredible day! - Truly a delightful day in rural Argentina. The horseback riding was fun - fortunately the horses did not rely on our riding skills. We returned for our ride to a heaping plate of empanadas and a cold beer. Then the parade of exquisite cuts of beef - hot off the fire. The day ended with an amazing Gaucho demonstration of horse whispering that left everyone in awe. Miriam and Max were superb!

An excellent day trip from Bueno Aires enjoying the genuine hospitality of Estancia El Ombu de Areco. - If you do nothing else in Bueno Aires, make certain you visit and enjoy an Estancia experience - and in particular El Ombu de Areco. It is a day out where you are in the care of hospitality experts - everything from the superb horsemanship and attentive gauchos at the farm thru the musicians and dancers providing light hearted entertainment to the barbeque feast served by alert and diligent staff - truly a day to remember fondly forever. . . all thanks to our wonderful guide Joel who ensured the day was without fault . . . worthy of a Six Star rating . . . . cheers.

Nice relaxing day trip from Buenos Aires - Perfect day visiting the Gauchos. We had a lot of fun horseback riding, followed by GREAT empanadas and some lovely wine and local beer (my husband is a beer snob and really enjoyed the local Patagonia cerveza). The ensuing asada (enjoyment of wood fired BBQ at a long, social table) was incredible - never-ending plates of beef, chicken, sausage, and pork, along with beautiful Argentinian potato salad and carrots with corn. All of it was delicious (and perfectly cooked), but I highly recommend the beef tenderloin, skirt steak, and rib-eye. Also, the chimichurri and flan with Dulce de Leche are to die for. Along the way, my husband purchased a beautiful asada cutting/presentation board with dishes for chimichurri and Argentinian salsa, and I bought myself a gorgeous silver rosatana necklace.

Good restaurant in the center of Madrid - I was with my wife and sister-in-law today, the place is central, it is an elongated ship a little noisy from conversations, the place was full. The food is quality, well presented and well-crafted, although I personally would change something from a couple of dishes. First of all say that the service is attentive and friendly and are pending. We ordered some ham croquettes that were good Then some pickled mussels made by them, splendid A Russian salad, right Torreznos with potatoes wag, good Potatoes to the importance with coconut cod and egg, everything was good, but the broth deserved the dish, in our opinion it should not be served with fish sauce but with the sauce of the potatoes to the importance, with its onion, garlic, saffron, some fried flour and white wine, with that the dish would be 10. Then we had some cow meatballs, the sauce was spectacular but the very hard meatballs, should put in the filling bread of mold wet in milk, with it would win a lot. For dessert we had a flan a cheesecake and a latte, all three things very well We will try other dishes again

Not as advertised - Our guide Myriam and driver Felix were both excellent. We hit a lot of traffic and instead of extending the day we skipped or shortened several activities. Most disappointing was the lack of the gaucho and horse show described in the listing. That was the main thing I wanted to see and it didn’t happen. Some of the lunch dishes were excellent. Some cuts of meat were extremely tough. The music and dancing were a highlight. The horseback riding is nice but extremely short. To me it’s not okay not to provide all the entertainment advertised.
