Great half-day tour covering three of the best attractions in Bariloche. We were lucky to have beautiful weather, too!"

Have to pay extra if you do not speak Spanish - it feels like an unnecessary up charge considering the guide spoke 3 languages. I barely heard anything in English, most of the communication was in another language. Guide was nice and the tour is nice but I’d suggest just taking the number 20 bus to save your money

Very nice tour with nice company. It was enjoyable and we recommend it to any tourists in Argentina.

Fabulous introduction to the area. Beautiful mountains and lakes. It gets fresh up in the mountains so bring a cardigan and wear comfortable shoes.

I know the title is too long but that kind of summarizes the whole trip. Scenary is as usual breathtaking, but that's true for entire Bariloche. The guide was decent but not very warm in welcoming non-hispanic guests. Even though I booked the Spanish language option of the tour (it was the third of such kind and by this time I already knew what to expect -that the guide will only explain very basic one or twolines in English and point out to the bathroom!), it was not bad. Because most of the tour, again that's standard for Bariloche, consisted of visual delight. Only the chairlift was little bit overhyped (maybe because it was a cloudy foggy day, hardly anything visible and too cold to enjoy).

This tour was well worth it. Tour guide was very kind and accommodating. Taking the chair lift at Cerro Campanerio is well worth the extra $14. Great views from above. Make sure to bring jacket, hat and gloves because it is very windy at the top especially in spring months like November.

Elizabeth, Thank you for your great review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and the views from Cerro Campanario. We hope to welcome you back soon!

We were pressed on time since we were in Bariloche for only 12 hours so we did this half day tour. If you are also short on time I suggest you do this one. If you have more time then add also a visit to Cerró Catedral where the ski resort is.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad the half-day tour fit your schedule. Hope you enjoyed your time in Bariloche!

This was a fun tour of the area that let us see different parts and even do some hiking. It was accessible for my father who is older and can’t walk much. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour to others interested in a quick visit to notable places around Bariloche.

A short tour but with many places to see and it was very well organized The Slovenian Guides was great.

I nice basic tour to see the area around Bariloche. I went with the half day tour, but was allowed to tag along for a few more hours as the tour group I was with had a longer trip planned. The highlight of this is Cerro Campanario, which you get to take the chair lift to the top you pay, about 12 USD. Also a post card stop where you can take a great picture of the area, the Llao Llao hotel as well as with a giant St. Bernard. Patricia was tremendously helpful and very good at explaining in English for me, the only English speaker. This is as its billed, a half day tour, without much hiking required or the need/ability to travel far. It's a nice trip to see a couple of beautiful sights while still taking an easy day or if you're someone who doesn't want to/or is able to, do a lot of hiking.

Unfortunately we not perform the tour.
We performed through another operator.
There was a misunderstood concerning the schedule and the operator not agreed to us to perform in another schedule, leaving us unsatisfied.
Response from Host, Jun 2020
Dear Manoel,
We are very sorry that you were not able to participate in the tour. The places were reserved for you and the service was considered a no-show. You were expected to take the service. Kind regars, Tangol.

The lady tour guide Johana Canesa of SITurista travel agency was outstanding! She is a kind, lovely, easy-going lady who is always happy while conveying her deep knowledge of the Bariloche Big Circuit área. Johana is very knowledgeable not only about historical and pictouresque aspects of the several towns visited as part of this tour but also she is keen on sharing those small and hidden secrets that all nature beauties and towns posses. While touring Villa La Angostura, we were shown the historical El Mesidor residence, where the former Argentinian woman President Maria Estela Martínez de Peron remained arrested 8 months after the irruption of the dictatorship in March 1976. In order to be perfect, this tour has to offer pre-paid lunch as part of the options.

We hit all the major sights along Bariloche's lake front. The scenery is spectacular. Like a bit of heaven on earth.
Richard W, Feb 2016
Very scenic and informative. Ricardo was an excellent tour guide. Many photo stops. Readers should be aware that dirt/gravel roads comprise about 50 kilometers of the tour.

This tour is a must to get to know Bariloche. Very nice and the tour guide was really excellent.
ROBERTO_V, Dec 2018
O tour em si é lindo, vale muito a pena. A companhia não informa que a primeira parada é no cerro campanário onde há um custo de 300 pesos por pessoa para subir de teleférico, o som da Van é horrível, muito chiado e apesar de você contratar em português ele é feito em espanhol e inglês, pela mesma pessoa que também é motorista.

Lamentamos que o passeio não tenha correspondido com todas as suas expectativas. O passeio faz uma descida no Cerro Campanário, a subida não está incluída. Pedimos desculpas por isto não ter sido suficientemente claro. Esperamos que tenha gostado das belas paisagens de Bariloche. Atenciosamente, Tangol
