Best Day! - In the nicest possible way, it would be a huge mistake to NOT book this tour! It was probably the best day of our holiday! Marcello was the best tour guide. He was so accommodating, informative, and funny, and really just felt like a friend hanging out with us by the end! The ranch was so beautiful, and the food was delicious! With the long horse ride, all the food and wine, and dancing at the end, this tour more than worth the price! The empanada snack was the best empanadas we had on our whole trip, and the tango dancing at the end was interactive and fun. And the handsome Gaucho ‘Sebastian’ didn’t hurt either! ;) The whole experience made us want to come back to the ranch and stay at the hotel in the future!

Amazing beautiful experience - What an amazing experience, from door to door pick up and drop off. The tour around Areco town was awesome Our guide Laurie was so knowledgeable and nice you can tell she loves the town. Being a small town a lot of businesses are owned and operated by family so if it’s vacation time they are closed so there are she has options of other places you can see. We learned a lot. The Estancia (ranch) was beautiful wonderful snack upon arrival, plenty of Green space a small playground and a couple of swings. Gentle trail ride suitable for everyone my daughter (6yrs) and I rode together. I would highly recommend this tour it’s worth it.

Wonderful trip to San Antonio and Estancia - This is a very special experience; Santiago is an extremely knowledgeable, fun and professional guide who will show you the gaucho culture in San Antonio de Areca. Highlights on our trip included a tour of the town center as well a horseback ride and an Asado lunch on the estancia. Santiago will introduce you to local artisans and to the gauchos who have learned their skills from their families passed through generations. We highly recommend. It is so convenient to be picked up from your apartment or hotel in BA. The value is excellent. Be sure to bring your camera!

I will treasure the day at this Estancia forever! - Driving from Buenos Aires to San Antonio Areco was a beautiful ride into the countryside. It is a well-maintained farm that provides a guest with another view of Argentina, away from the city life. Horseback riding or a buggy ride was our first activity. The gauchos provided us with the history of life on the Pampas, the horses, and country life. They entertained us with games on horseback and then served us family style, a farm to table feast, under the trees. Then came a folk dancing show that included guest participation. A special day, don't miss it!
