Excellent service and spectacular treatment - The truth is that the company has an absolute 10. The attention, the punctuality, the treatment of all the kids, both the guides Jazmín and Pablo, as well as the administrative part, confirming the itineraries with sufficient advance notice. Totally recommended. You can't regret it.

Everything impeccable - We did the excursion to Cafayate and its ravines with the guide Angie and then the excursion to Salinas Grandes with the guide Ximena. In both cases they were beautiful experiences, both the guides and the drivers showed a lot of professionalism and made us have great moments. Nordic is recommended for all this and for punctuality, prior coordination and attention.

Great Sights - Each of the three day trips had excellent guides (kudos to Pamela, my translator to Cafayate) who were full of information about the history and sights en route to and in the areas visited. Each day, we drove through spectacular scenery and saw how the people of Salta and Jujuy Provinces live and work from the winery in Cafayate, to the markets of Purmamarca and Humahuaca and to the salt flats at Salinas Grandes. These lives and lifestyles are not what one experiences if one visits Buenos Aires only. Each of these trips was about 12-13 hours long, but well worth the time and at an excellent price. Nordic Travel even picked me up at a downtown private residence, a fact I appreciated.

Just enough for Jump if you're tight - It's a 3/5 service. Practice to hire the combos if you need to solve your schedule in Salta. However, it is not luxury. Although they do. Starting with hiring, they publish “no hidden prices” at x value. Then according to the time they modify it. The transfer to and from the airport by JUAN is excellent. Very good driver. The excursion made to Cafayate with ANGIE gives flavor to little. Going to cafayate is to the rocket. The “red earth” winery is one of the worst I’ve ever seen, including the owner’s batterer. I also highlight the energy of the guide. How it was “high season” in addition to charging you more, they send you in a large bus with 45 people who do very little personalized the excursion added that if you go behind the microphone is the worst experience of your life. They just sent two retirees in the back seats where they didn’t see or hear anything, the answer was “send a message to the company.” The excursion to large salt flats and Purmamarca with Raul is longer. I highlight the beauty of the village. Raul is a strange character who defines himself as a flirting machine, good person, but the content of his guide is not the best. I highlight Mauritius' work as a driver, a complicated route.

BE CAREFUL BEFORE HIRING!! WHAT THEY DO NOT TELL TO YOU! - You have to keep in mind that you get up at 5 am and return to the hotel after 6 pm, on all excursions because the tours are far away. The guides are very good, bilingual, prepared with a lot of information, good predisposition, I mention Jaz and Matias, excellent. The company did not pick us up at the hotel, so we had to go to the meeting point at dawn, which caused a lot of inconvenience and is not stipulated when hiring. The departure from Salinas Grandes was disastrous, the bus broke when going up to the salt flat at more than 3000 meters above sea level, which had already left with problems, the driver told us that the bus had already broken down the day before, they repaired it quickly and he returned to go out with us. We waited 2 hours on the side of the road for other buses to pass with a place that would allow us to continue the climb to the salt flat at 4 thousand meters, then to return to Salta we had to wait hours, they left us at the hotel at 9: 30 pm, having gotten up at 5 am. Would I hire them again? Definitely not. I would choose private tours that take less time, fewer unnecessary stops and are more dynamic.

Would recommend only part of the 3 day tour - From the 3 days I love Cafayate the most. Unfortunately the places are far from Salta so the tours are way too long but the guides made it enjoyable. I would recommend my friends to skip Salinas Grandes, as the tour the place is nothing compared to the Salina in Uyuni. It is basically to take the picture in the pool and you need to do it in a hurry which I hated. Then, my purpose to go to Pumamarca was to visit the Quebrada of Humahuaca however that is not part of “excursion to all activities in the place”. they do not tell you in advance that you need to book this part in advanced so I was not able to see the main attraction of the place.

English speaking tourists, don't go with Nordic Travel - If you speak english, you will get half the informations compare to spanish. I understand spanish and believe me, what they say in spanish is much more complete than in english. 10 minutes explainations in spanish then 2 minutes in English. For the 3 trips we were 1 to 3 english speaking couples. All the informations are in spanish (pick up time by e-mail, conditions of sales...) I should have understood it seeing the whole web site in spanish only ... Guides are probably not qualified. The only guide I saw wearing a badge was from another company... Make the excursions with another company because the places were beautiful. I do not recommend this company.
