A great way to visit Perito Moreno! - We really enjoyed this tour! Efficiently organized, small group of 15 people, with 3 full hours at the glacier walkways to explore and enjoy and not be rushed, and then a 1 hr boat tour for closer views of the glacier. Our tour guide Natalia was wonderful, providing information on the ~hour drive to the glacier and providing good advice on how to maximize photo opportunities at both the walkways and the boat. Highly recommend this tour for an easy and comfortable way to visit the glacier.

Spectacular - We loved the visit, we had plenty of time to tour the Perito Moreno on walkways, and the spectacular views on the boat. Mention apart from our guide, Naty, knew a lot and was super interesting everything he told us during the journey. The excursion is great if you can not/will trek on the glacier, I would recommend it.

Worth it - opt for the boat - On time, good coordination. The transportation to the glaciers was effective and fast. Allows for a lot of time to take pictures and walk around the different trails to see the glaciers. The boat tour is a must - it was super nice to see the glaciers up close as well. Got to touch a piece of fallen glacier!

Fantastic !! Florencia... - Fantastic !! Florencia was a great tour guide. Aerolineas Argentinas lost my luggage the day before and I did not have the adequate attire. Florencia lent me a jacket and I was able to do the tour, no problem. Thank you for your kindness and awesomeness

Amazing trip - Clear communication from the company before the visit to arrange pick up location and to sort out buying the National Park entrance ticket. Friendly and knowledgable guide who explained everything clearly in English and Spanish.
Appreciated having a couple of hours to enjoy visiting the glacier on the boardwalks. Would recommend getting the boat trip as it was amazing it would mean you might have too much time at the boardwalk area without it.

An extraordinary walk, an experience that must be had at least once in a lifetime - We were picked up promptly at our hotel, we were taken in a small bus and the guide, was explaining in detail the characteristics of the park and the landscapes, vegetation and fauna of the area. Once we arrived at the jetty we boarded a boat that took us by the Argentine lake where we were watching the ice floes that come off the glaciers, we could observe the brown expert glacier among others. Like spegaciny. It is amazing the majesty of the glacier from its different faces! Something to see.

Naty and Beto gave a good tour - Booked this tour on Viator and chose the tour that included the boat tour. Unfortunately it was not a clear day. It snowed most of the day (it was spring). The bus arrived within the pick up time window. Took an hour to get to the park entrance gate. The Park is a nightmare of inefficiency. Would hate to be here in the summer when so many busses are coming thru and only 2 ticket staff in a little room. We bought our entry tickets on line but should have done on the tour agencies site.
Because of the snow and unclear skies, views from the walkways were not great. Glad we chose the boat tour. We got to really see the glaciers up close.

Not up to par - The guide, driver and tour were great. Unfortunately the weather was not. It snowed for most of the day. Visibility was poor, walkways were slippery. Park entrance was chaotic and inefficient. It was better on the optional boat tour we purchased. We had a better look at the glaciers. Boat had so many people though so we couldn't enjoy the views as much as we expected.
