Reviews of Small Group tours to Argentina
- Best of Argentina
We had a fabulous time, packing in a huge amount in just 12 days, from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia to El Calafate and Iguazu. Argentina is huge so we had to take a few flights to get places. We were always met and taken to our hotels by the loveliest people. We enjoyed all our trips either escorted by a private guide or on a small group guided tour. We also had time for independent activities. We mainly visited places for their amazing natural scenery, but also enjoyed a bit of culture with the tango and music show. This was top notch. The experiences were always amazing, but, one that stood out was padding on a lake in a National Park out from Ushuaia with an outstanding guide, John, and his driver. Can't recommend this highly enough!
- 12 Days - Classic Argentina
Highly recommend this tour. You get to experience a lot of Argentina in the space of 2 weeks.
- 8-Day Premium Discovery Ushuaia & El Calafate from Buenos Aires
Once again we visited Argentina, and this time we went to the south. Now we can say that we knew the southernmost city in the world, and it is beautiful and magnificent.
What our customers ask about Argentina Small Group Tours
What regions in Argentina are best suited for small group travel?
Small group travel thrives in Argentina's diverse landscapes from the glaciers of Patagonia's Los Glaciares National Park to the sun-drenched vineyards of Mendoza and the colorful valleys of Salta and Jujuy provinces. Small groups can explore lesser-known trails like the Huemul Circuit near El Chalten or spend time at traditional estancias in the Buenos Aires countryside. Hotel Las Dunas in El Calafate provides convenient access to the Perito Moreno Glacier. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our intimate group size was perfect for navigating the narrow trails of Quebrada de las Conchas and enjoying personal interactions with local communities while staying at the charming Casa Lila in Mendoza."
What type of accommodations can I expect on small group tours in Argentina?
Small group accommodations focus on boutique properties that highlight local character. These include the lakeside Hotel Mirador del Lago in El Calafate the colonial-style Hacienda de Molinos in Salta and exclusive lodges like Rincon del Socorro in the Iberá wetlands. Most properties feature 15-30 rooms ensuring attentive service. A TourRadar traveler noted "Staying at Hotel Las Dunas in El Calafate with our small group felt like being part of a family with personalized recommendations and attention from staff."
How does the pricing compare between small group and large group tours in Argentina?

A boutique Patagonia experience at places like El Chalten Suites Lodge runs around USD 350 per day while larger group tours average USD 250. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The additional cost was worth every penny for the personalized attention and flexibility to adjust our itinerary around Mount Fitz Roy based on weather conditions."

We were able to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Patagonian area without worrying about mundane travel details."

Groups typically range from 4-15 travelers allowing for flexibility and personal attention.
