I booked the El Calafate & El Chaltén 5-Day Tour, but unfortunately, the experience was far from what I expected. The communication was poor, with long delays in pick-up times (30-45 minutes), which really impacted my enjoyment. The tours themselves were underwhelming and not worth the price. I feel I could’ve easily done everything on my own, especially considering the delays. The short hike to the Mirador de los Condores lookout in El Chaltén was particularly disappointing - while it's fine to walk up there, the ticket price is meant to cover more than just the lookout. Unfortunately, we only did the short walk to the viewpoint, which made the ticket feel completely overpriced for what we actually experienced. The cost for that 30-minute walk was truly ridiculous, and it's definitely something you can skip entirely. The accommodation was also disappointing, with blocked showers, stained sheets, and poor breakfast quality (for food: only jams and cheap white bread, tea, milk, and coffee... no, I didn’t forget anything). Overall, the tour didn’t deliver the value it promised. If you’re looking to see the glacier in El Calafate, I recommend booking directly on-site rather than through this tour.Show more

Hello Patrick. I’m sorry to hear that the trip didn't live up to your expectations. We will most certainly review our partnership with the hotel, as you say, that quality of services is not what we expect of them. Regardless of anything else, they will be held to a standard in order to continue working with us. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

The organization was good. Overall, however, the hiking/trek day was average/okay.

Thank you for your feedback Bart, we're glad to hear the organization met your expectations, though we're sorry the hiking day didn't quite meet your expectations. We'll take this into account as we continue improving the experience. We hope you still took away some great memories from the trip!
