Magnificent - It was a pressure-free trip, with enough time to take photos and eat, I enjoyed the views, good driver. Maybe it would just improve the place to have a more formal breakfast and not just empanadas and sandwiches 😅.

Probably wouldn't use them again - I wish I could write a review of my experience but unfortunately, I cannot. MTO Tour did not confirm my pick up time and never showed up. They are not answering calls nor texts. Trying to get my money back has been a huge hassle.

Horrible - My experience was very bad, I booked the tour and that same day in the afternoon they told me that it was canceled due to bad weather conditions, when I looked on the internet I realized that that route was closed a while ago, so why do they sell that tour and They collect the money that they have not yet returned to me if they already knew that the route was closed, that is horrible
