Excellent tour! - We were only in Ushuaia for a day and a half, and wanted to make the most of our time. This was definitely my favourite activity during that time. It is a historic double-decker bus which has so much charm as soon as you walk in. service is absolutely exemplary. Starting from where you purchase the tickets, to the actual tour itself, it was amazing. Our bus driver was Javier, and the English speaking tour guide was Thomas. Both Javier and Thomas were so helpful with all of the tourists by taking photos, and making sure that everybody enjoyed the tour. Thomas is incredibly knowledgeable, and was able to share so much information during the tour which we greatly appreciated. Not only is Thomas incredibly intelligent, he is a genuinely kind hearted person who truly wants the best for everyone. He is going to go very far in the tourism industry. He has a perfect personality, as well as the knowledge to provide a great experience for the English speaking tourists… Of which there were many! Javier was always there as well to make sure that the tour around smoothly, and to help whenever it was needed. This is not your regular tour where it is only pre-recorded historical information about the places you see. Thomas was also able to provide a personalized experience by sharing his knowledge as well. The time went by so quickly, and we appreciated that it stops twice for everyone to get out and take photos. it was definitely the highlight of our time in Ushuaia. A big thank you to Thomas and Javier for making the extra special for everyone.

Informative and Inexpensive - Stumbled across the bus tour while we stopped at visitor center for information - right by each other. It was about 1-1/2 hours, provided some great town history along with a couple stops to get off bus. It was a great value for only $10USD

Bring rain coats - The buses are infrequent so be prepared to see buses full of people when it arrives to your stop. The stops are at interesting sites but bring rain coats because it rains any time it wants so would be helpful when one is enjoying outdoors.

Magical! - Ushuaia is magical! It's a small southernmost city in the world and it's very navigable by foot. It's clean, safe and a wonderful place to start the journey and embark expedition ship to Antarctica!

Om, not worth the price - It was OK...felt like the stop on the hill and stop at Devils pond were unnecessary and unimpressive. There should have def been a stop at the Ushuaia sign. ESPECIALLY since we passed it on the way back towards the end of the tour. Felt like it was overpriced for what it was...should be more like $10...maybe $15.

An Adequate Tour - I would recommend this excursion to a friend, but with a detailed explanation, so they didn’t have false expectations. The folks at the excursion were friendly and accommodating. The “old-school” bus added to the experience. The tour took us to places we wouldn’t have gotten to on our own, but the information and level of detail provided was minimal. It would have been great to get a bit more detail about the things they were pointing out. It would have enhanced the tour a great deal.
