Reviews of Small Group tours to Argentina
Went to some amazing places, very reliable, great communication except for not noting that the price pictured doesn’t pay for what is actually included.
5-Day Trip to Ushuaia & El Calafate
- 3-Days Iguazu Falls Tour of the Argentinian and Brazilian Side
It is something spectacular, from the park, the hotel that is inside the park, the ecological train to the imposing Iguazu Falls. From the Argentine side you can see all the skips in a complete way, but the Brazilian can be seen in perspective.
- 12 Days - Classic Argentina
The tour was well organized. The drivers came on time to pick us up to get to and from the airport and tour guides were well informed. The hotels were very nice and clean. Iguassu was very impressive, as was Calafate, and the tango show in Buenos Aires. Very enjoyable tour. I definitely would do it again. Be prepared for a lot of walking.

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.

A boutique Patagonia experience at places like El Chalten Suites Lodge runs around USD 350 per day while larger group tours average USD 250.
