LOVED this tour!
Alexandria_D

We absolutely LOVED this tour!! It was great from start to finish. Jessica, our guide, taught us about the Argentinian tradition of mate. When we arrived at the ranch, we ate the best empanadas of our entire trip to Argentina. Then we took a horseback ride and came back just in time for a traditional Asado. My favorite part of the tour was watching the Doma - Argentinian horse cuddling - which was a really unique and special cultural practice to witness. Thank you for a great day!

Great day trip to San Antonio de Areco Ranch
Eddie_H
, Jun 2022
Our trip to the ranch was wonderful. The bus ride was comfortable, approximately 1hr. 1/2. There was a total of 8 travelers. Our guide was great. She explained everything in English and Spanish. We made 2 stops along the way. The food was very good, all sorts of meats, salad, potato salad and wine, beer, water or soda. Also the entertainment was good. Had a great day.

Stella, our guide, was absolutely wonderful. She was knowledgeable and friendly and knew exactly what to do. The food was fantastic, and the horseback riding was enjoyable even for an old man like me lol. I would recommend this to everyone to experience the countryside and food of Argentina.

Too low energy for us
Boris_L
, May 2022
The trip was ok at best. There was a LOT of down time and not much to show for it. We stopped by a tiny church and small museum and the guide did not do any guided tour or anything, just dropped us off at these places to walk around. When we made it to the ranch, we sat around some more until we were able to get on the horses. The people who owned the ranch did not let us explore and ride the horses freely, it was just guided by the front and if the horses so much as trotted, they immediately panicked. The show with the gaucho also was... strange. It's quite odd to see a man caress a horse in such a strange way - like a weird intimacy as the gaucho rolled the horse over on its back, mounted it and caressed its legs. It was not expected and left a strange confusion as we left the ranch and headed back to Buenos Aires. All in all, would not do this again and wouldn't recommend it unless you want a rest day to sit around in the sun.

Hola Boris, thank you for your review. We are sorry that your expectations were a little different. As a safety measure all the horseback ridings are guided and in groups. The guacho show is something amazing called horse whispering. We suggest you look it up. The day at the estancia includes the visit to a silversmith and the day in a beatiful estancia with a horseback riding, a tasty barbecue and a gaucho show. Probably you were expecting something with more adreline. Thank you, Axel

This was one of my best days in argentina. My tour guide Emi (Emiliano) made this experience amazing. He was very knowledgeable from our ride to the ranch and back, and was able to answer all of our questions (and had some good jokes to). As someone who did this experience solo, he provided a very comfortable and friendly environment. I was able to be picked up from my airbnb and dropped off. The activities on the ranch are unforgettable. The gauchos on the ranch were very nice and welcoming, and i learned a lot about their culture. The horse ride was super fun and the food was outstanding. If i were to ever come back to argentina, i would do again.

Wonderful Gaucho Day Experience
Jackie_S
, Mar 2022
What an incredible day! It started off being picked up at our AirBnB. And hour long ride in a comfortable van. Our guide was so much fun and she gave us a history lesson of the area along the way. You make a short stop in town and then off to the ranch. We were greeted by several of the ranch hands and fed a wonderful snack of empanadas. Then off on a horse ride through the fields. When we returned we were greeted with the wonderful smell of cooking meats. After lunch we were treated to a local dance and music show. This was a highlight of our Argentinian adventure!

Great tour and guide. Hernan is extremely knowledgeable about his country’s history and why is the Rio Plato brown (my question :) ). Excellent drivers as well. The estancia was relaxing, the food and wine was excellent, and the carriage ride was fun and educational.

Fun day on the historic Pampas

Even on a rainy day, my husband and I had a lovely experience with Diego driving out to the pampas and sightseeing in the small town. They offered us to reschedule because of the rain, but we had only one opportunity to go, so we made the best of it and had a lot of fun. Lots of food and drinks and lots of music. The small town was charming with beautiful special shops and some museums. Diego was extremely informative and flexible.
