Beautiful Landscape. - It was a very fun experience. We had a lot of fun traveling through the area from El Calafate to El Chalten. We got to climb one of the mountains to get a better view of the area and traveled down a dirt road that lead to a Beautiful Waterfall.

Great day out to National Park - It was an interesting day to the National Park - the guide was informative and made the day fun. Great scenery and walk around. The coffee stop and lunch were good locations with nice food. I would definitely recommend this day tour.

Good for less active - We stayed in El Calafate for 5 days and this was one of the day trips that we took. The trip itself was a lot more casual than a couple of the others out there; making this a good day trip if you do not want to do a lot of hiking or maybe have smaller children. You take a bus about 2.5 hours out to a hiking area, hike about 30 minutes each way to a nice view on top of the mountains, then head into a small town for lunch, then view a waterfall for about 30 minutes (flat walk for 10 mins). It wasn't my favorite day trip we took (definitely recommend Torres del Paine and Perito Merino over this) but it was nice.

Find a different tour operator. - Was not impressed with tour guide. Signed up for English speaking guide but she did both languages plus a speech tick which made it very fatiguing to listen too. I had to drown her out as to not have a massive headache.

Great sights, old equipment, food mediocre - The bus provided could barely make it up the hills, the rear speakers did not work so we could not hear the commentary. The bus was hot and driver was eventually able tovget some air going. The guide Gabriella was frustrated with the poor equipment provided and did her best to walk to back of bus to provide commentary and directions. The stops and sights were very good. The lunch location was fine but the milanesas were mediocre at best. The guide told us to complain to the provider company about the equipment quality.

Ok tour - The land and area was beautiful and I really enjoyed the hike and the falls visit. The lunch was good too. I think it would be a good idea to explore the town before everything closes for the afternoon as we ate lunch and the time we had left everything was closed. As the tour is called full day El Chalten it would of been nice to explore the town when things are open. Switching the order of doing things would allow people to explore the town when the stores are open. Tour guide was nice but we felt left out at times as she would explain things in Spanish and not always in English.

Terrible day - Nothing really - seeing condors was good. The rest was awful and I’ve already complained to the operator in El Calafate who is not interested in what I have to say but I expect a refund or compensation as the guide was not able to guide in English only Spanish which is no good to me. The only map she had of the mountains in El Chalten was in Spanish as well. The pick up was late and unable to contact the company on the number provided. It was not worth the money or for that matter my valuable and limited time in El Calafate. I could have organised something else. I await your comments and compensation.
