The experience was fantastic. The view of El Calafate city, lake and mountains were amazing. The guide was friendly . The Argentinian food during lunch was delicious!

First the guides weee awesome. Juan Pablo “JP” was my guide for the trek and he was great however the tour itself was somewhat disappointing. I chose to do the trek rather than the zip line. Sounds like those who did the zip line or who ride with those doing the zip line got the true balconies experience whereas me doing the trek was essential a downhill walk with the same view so my recommendation is if you do this go for the zip line or just ride along.

Best and unique! They're very nice and the attractions are awesome. Try the zip line, it's great, so you wouldn't miss it, right?

Local Guides really helpful (they speak good English as well) and Zip Line was also an amazing experience. Recommended if you want to do a short activity during the day.

I booked through Viator so initially there was a bit of confusion about the pick up point for the tour. Once that was straightened out everything went smoothly. I didn’t have a lot of time in El Calafate so this half day excursion was a good way to see some of the sites. The 4x4 ride was a bit bumpy but Nicholas our guide gave us a lot of great insight about the area. The view from the top was beautiful and the hiking portion was good also. Manuel guided us on the hike and shared a bit of knowledge about some of the plants we saw. The tour ended with a delicious lunch and wine. The guides made sure we were will taken care of the whole time and overall I really enjoyed the experience.

They booked me and charged me for an excursion that they themselves later told me does not exist!! (I claimed it 5 minutes after they made the charge. THEY DON'T HAVE a zip line for a single person... but they charged me for it and they don't want to return the money!! I made the claim at CIVITATIS AND WITH THIS AGENCY AND NO ONE RESPONDS
I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE MAY BE PROBLEMS, BUT SHOULD THEY RETURN THE MONEY OR IS IT A SCAM??

Good evening trip. Wonderful views of lake from high points. Limited mobility friendly activity. Includes a dinner in a ranch type setting. Both the guide and the driver were two very pleasant persons. The guide took pains to explain the geology and history of the region.

Highly recommend, the guides are super knowledgeable! The views and food is spectacular! I do however recommend booking through your hotel and trip advisor and viator do not communicate thoroughly with the staff and might not be able to prepare for the experience you wanted.
Me encanto! Los guías te dan mucha información, los paisajes y la comida fue fenomenal. Recomiendo hacer la reserva por el hotel o una agencia de acá, porque trip advisor y viator no se comunican bien para cual experiencia quisieras de las 3 opciones.
