Great tour, good value, and the best whale watching! - This was an excellent tour, and reasonably priced. The tour guide really knew all about the area and explained everything very well. The driver also kept a keen eye for wildlife so we didn’t miss a thing. The group size was small and the van was comfortable. I was picked up exactly on time. The whale watching trip was AMAZING! Hundreds of whales and the best boat captain. He was passionate about his job and obviously loved the whales. I would highly recommend this tour.

Collection in dollars - All nice, but if you pay by card, they charge you in dollars, so if you're Argentine it's expensive. Be careful not to let you know.

Great experience and Excellent guide! - Had a really great day out. The guide was extremely friendly and gave so much insight into the area and the animals. The trip was free flowing and we were given the choice if the group wanted to stop at extra points. The timing was not strict at all and the guide really allowed the group to decide what we wanted to see. Highly recommend this trip with this exact company! You won't be disappointed!

Penguins, elephant seals, armadillo, llamas - Fabulous trip, Emilia was a superb guide, fun, fascinating knowledgeable and Gustavo a fine driver, good at spotting animals on route. Avoided the worst of the crowds through their sensible planning. The one down side was our trip was delayed owing to Floridians ignoring the time instructions to suit them rather than the other 11 on the bus. Waited half an hour then set off then received a call 7 mins in that we had to go back to pick them up. They didn't even have the courtesy to apologise. So rude.
The world life was fantastic.

Peninsula Valdes is worth visiting, guide could be more informative - Visiting the Peninsula itself is a wondrous experience. I found the tour guide however did not provide a lot of information or interesting facts. Some things we found out in private conversations by asking questions but these should be part of the tour. It’s a long day (it’s a big peninsula!) but we did see all the highlights: whale tour, penguins, sea lions, and elephant seals. And there were plenty of breaks for restrooms etc.
