Private Tours & Trips in Patagonia
Imagine Patagonia tailored entirely to what matters most to you. Private trips mean you choose your own balance—more hiking, more wildlife watching, more glacier time, whatever. From Torres del Paine's granite towers, Perito Moreno glacier, El Chaltén's mountain trails, and Ushuaia down at the continent's tip. The flexibility matters because weather changes plans constantly down there, and you want to spend extra time at places that grab you.

What people love about Private Tours in Patagonia
- Argentina & Chile: Amazing Patagonia - 13 days
Most of the tour was well planned and executed. We enjoyed seeing the Perito Moreno Glacier, viewing Mt. Fitz Roy and walking among the Penguins in Beagle Channel. Transfers were well planned. The trips in Ushaia that didn't have transfers were within easy walking distance of our hotel. The one snag was the hike to Torres del Paine. The day before that hike started early and ended with a long bus ride from Torres del Paine National Park back to Puerto Natales which was made longer since we had to deliver one participant to an out of the way hotel. The day of the hike started early once again and required a long bus ride back to Torres del Paine National Park. We decided we were not ready to spend that much time on another bus and decided to forgo the hike. Our request for a refund for the hike was denied though we thought this was the one situation where poor planning interfered with our enjoyment of the activities.
- Argentina & Chile: Amazing Patagonia - 9 days
This was a self guided tour which I wasn’t aware of and needs to be highlighted on the website. Excellent organisation and no issues with any timings of events. Only issue was the itinerary stated we were going to have lunch at a cattle ranch which didn’t happen and was subsidised with a local restaurant meal. After further investigation we found out the ranch had burnt down in November 2019 yet the itinerary was not updated therefore we missed out on this event which was very disappointing and we would like to be reimbursed as such. Hotels are not walking distance from the bus stations and the transfer to the port at Puerto Natales was included contrary to the itinerary. Charge for Miloden caves needs to be added as an extra. It was 8000 Chilean Pesos. The bus trip from El Calafate to Puerto Natales takes between 5-6 hours depending on the border crossing. This needs to be amended in the itinerary as well as there is no baggage limit for the tour. Also a note should be made about the pick up times for the airport transfer at the start of the tour as we had to wait for two hours and just happened to see our names on a board at a transfer window rather than a person waiting for us. Also the talk about the devil listed on day six of the itinerary didn’t happen and needs to be removed. Besides the cattle ranch incident I enjoyed the tour and found the organisation of a very high standard
- The End of the World + El Chalten w/Bus (10 Days)
The tour was great, good itinerary, bus tours in parks were excellent. We got a quick response when we had to contact the Itravel. The accommodations were great in El Chalten and Ushuaia. The accommodation in El Calafate the Pioneros was crappy, we had a room in a building in the back of the hotel looking like a bunker, the room was basic, flacking paint on walls, the bathroom ceiling was a panel of plywood and many black spots around the bath. The sidewalk was broken. The breakfast was limited to toast and coffee. This place is to be avoid. In general the breakfast hours are not adapted to the early morning tour. We found this tour just amazing and we really enjoyed it. Thanks to all team.
