I thought it would be one group of people and having a guide accompany us throughout. I don’t speak Spanish so need a guide. On day 2 I was with one guide with a group from salta. I was the only one with luggage so the rest were day trippers I was dropped in Purmamarca and the guide and group headed back to salta. I wasn’t expecting to be left on my own with no english speakers at the hotel. On day 3 I was picked up by a different guide at 11am and joined another group of day trippers from salta. Day 4 has no activities so why include it in tour? This was just a 2 day tour.Show more

Dear passenger, We appreciate your review and we are very sorry that you didn’t enjoy your experience with our company. All we want is to have happy travelers who can enjoy their trip and make the most out of their travel experience. Actually this tour it have a self-guided adventure category, besides that, even if you wanted to hire a private guide, is difficult to find a guide that speaks spanish and english in this region. About day 4, as are in our website, is a free day with the intention of giving our travelers the opportunity to get to know the surroundings better according to their interests and in their rhythm. For those who enjoy history and art, for example, it is possible to visit the famous MAAM, Museum of High Altitude Archeology, or those interested in architecture and local culture, it is possible to take a walk around the city and feel the colonial air of yesteryear, or yet just enjoy the local food with the best restaurants of region. We reinforce that your evaluation is very important for us, that we can improve our services, which is our constant concern, always with the goal of making the trip of our customers dreams even more special. We truly hope to see you in another trip with us! Sincerely, Conceição De Camillis Bamba Happiness team
