What are people saying about El Calafate

El Chalten Complete Experience Full Day Tour from El Calafate

Mercy_R, Oct 2026

Awesome!

This is a wonderful tour and we had an awesome tour guide, Carla was so awesome, she speaks good English and she makes sure she will translate first in English before the Spanish. She is kind and friendly, any questions we have she answers us. She even accompany us all the way to the view point. And we were so lucky, the Fitz Roy mountain should up, the very tip end, it was clear. The El Chalten town is beautiful, it’s kind a of rich town. And the lunch was served it was good!

Great Beginner Horseback Experience in Beautiful Surroundings

I very much enjoyed this tour. I booked it at the last minute and ended up alone on the tour, but Matthias's attention was great. I had never ridden a horse anywhere meaningful, but had no trouble keeping up. The landscape is gorgeous, the estancia is elegant, and I had a good lunch to follow up. I would recommend this more for groups or for the evening times when available.

Full Day Guided Tour Perito Moreno National Park and Glacier

Great trip to see glacier

The tour was vey good. I was the only English speaking passenger but our guide was very patient and explained everything in English. The optional boat ride was fun, but if you do not have mobility issues, I suggest you just hike the same portion of the glacier that the boat navigates to. The photos of the boat tour are not too accurate because it looks like the boat really gets close to the glacier, but it does not. It is still a distance away but you can always zoom in. Spectacular! I liked the yellow portion of the walkway, got to see another side of the glacier. We had a wonderful Guide, Rebecca, and great driver, Lucas.

An excellent, leisurely way to visit Perito Moreno glacier!

This was an easy way to get up to Perito Moreno glacier and have plenty of time to explore on your own. Our rental car wasn’t available yet and honestly, going up with a small group and letting someone else drive was probably much easier. The boat trip up to the glacier was a good introduction, providing plenty of deck space to have a clear view and take pictures. Having driven up to the glacier, there was no rushing about—just a good deal of time to contemplate Perito Moreno from various angles provided by the boardwalk trails.

Wonderful day, great guide

Carla and Harry were GREAT! Carla was like a teacher shepherding her students through the best field trip of their lives. Alway patient, knowledgeable, super pleasant, and very clear in both english and spanish. The group we were with also had many friendly people. And, of course, the Torres del Paine park was spectacular... even in slightly rainy weather.

Perito Moreno Glacier

The drive from El Calafate is about 2.5 hours. On the way you stop at several spots for photographs of Lake Argentina and landscapes. After you enter the national park we drove to some catamarans, boarding one to go to within 200 meters of the south face of the Perito Moreno glacier. Afterwards we went to a restaurant located near walking paths that provide views of the north and south face of the glaciers. The paths are very well constructed but there are hundreds of steps down and them back up. The views were amazing. We saw and heard “calving” of the glacier (where pieces break off and fall into the lake). The drive back was just over an hour.

Tremendous experience ! Not to be missed

This was a unique experience to get up close and into a glacier. Our guides Matti and Johnny were amazing, helping all of us up and down the steep parts! Taking pictures in all the really picturesque spots. It was so well organized , even tea and coffee after completing the trek. There was an awesome surprise at the end of the trek which you’ve got to do the trek to find out!!

We enjoyed this...

We enjoyed this excursion. The time flies by quickly and our guide Noella was good at providing information during the more monotonous parts (the drive back and forth). Everything was clearly explained, obviously slightly better in Spanish, but still more than sufficiently in English. The glacier itself is amazing and we enjoyed having the time to do both the boat ride and the walkways, as they provide different but valuable perspectives. I've heard people say that this can be expensive compared to just going it alone, and while that may be true, the convenience of having everything handled and not driving ourselves was worth it for us.

Highly recommended

The experience was amazing. Absolute would recommend. Staff were friendly and very informative. The views were stunning, they give you ample time in front of each glacier they take you to see so you can truly enjoy it and take in the magnificent views. The food was good but the dessert was amazing. Truly a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Great Experience. Great Staff. Truly Beautiful

Very helpful team. Nice focus on enjoying the quiet and beauty of the glacier. Very willing to help take pictures and give you the most enjoyable natural experience you can. Help them out by having a tether for your phone/camera so they don't have to worry about dropping YOUR phone while they're helping take a picture of you.

4.8 rather than a 5

Overall, I gave the tour a rating of 5 but it isnt perfect. Some hotels were excellent, others were a little less so. All the tour operators and guides were Amazing. The biggest thing you should know when booking this tour is it isn't really one (1) tour, its about 6-7. And in many cases you are on your own to get to the place to be picked up...like the bus station where you travel between cities. This was a surprise to me. Maybe i didn't read the instructions well enough. This made the trip a little more intimidating, but it worked out and we don't regret taking it. If I had a chance to rate them differently it would be a 4.8.
