A really great tour made especially more pleasurable by the guide - The tour comprises a coach tour to the Estancia stopping on route at a little museum in a town. The museum has a working workshop where they make silver and gold items for the gauchos. Normally for their belts and their horses. Still made by hand. Great to see. After that onto the Estancia. When we left downtown Buenos Aires, we had to collect people from a couple of other hotels and allowing for that, it took over three hours to arrive at the Estancia. There we had a welcome drink, horse riding or a carriage ride and then followed by an absolutely excellent lunch with wine and water. Finally, we had a show by one of the gauchos with a horse and there was dancing as well. Our guide Miriam and our driver Julio were outstanding and made the day for us. Many thanks to both.

Best excursion ever - Best excursion ever! Miriam, the guide, was well informed and very helpful. Estancia is beautiful and everyone was welcoming. Horses are beautiful and riding demonstration awesome. Food was delicious, served on outdoor patio. Owner of estancia clearly loves showing visitors a great time—and reflects care of animals and staff as well as visitors. Don’t miss this excursion when you’re visiting Argentina. Incredible value for money

Excellent and worthwhile - One of the best excursions we've ever been on. Miriam, the guide, was excellent and bus/driver was just right for our group of 11 total. The stay at the ranch was a joy. Everything was excellent especially the large expansive dinner, musical entertainment, and gaucho demonstrations. Don't miss this one.

Best Trail Ride Ever! - I did the 1-hour trail ride at this farm, and it was amazing! It actually was more like a 1 1/2 hour ride, first winding our way through country that felt like the Wild West of the United States, then entering into a beautiful woodlands, reminiscent to me of Scotland, and then crossing a small river, ending with a two-minute trot along a nice, sandy beach of the Magellan Strait, before returning to the homestead. My guide did not speak any English, but he was so wonderful. He even picked some delicious berries for me on the ride. After the ride, I was served delicious homemade bread and jam and biscuits in their super cozy restaurant. The whole experience was heavenly! I highly recommend this experience. What a lovely family.

Probably only if you really want to see the country - We were told a protest would cause us to take longer to get to the ranch but seemed to get there about as fast as we got home and spent a ton of time waiting. The actual activities were a nice 30 minute horse ride and a 25 minute horse taming and music show. For the rest of the time you are kinda just waiting around and then eating an extremely generous 9 course meal of an insane amount of meat. You can do that in BA though without spending 4.5 hours in a cramped bus. Our guide Mariam was nice and took care of us but since we boarded last I couldn’t really hear or see her narration on the way out. If you live anywhere in the world where you can ride a horse in the country I would just do that at home and spend the money on dinner at a steakhouse in BA. It’s not a miserable activity but I don’t think I would do it again.
