    We met the tour operator at the port entrance, very quickly we became aware that they thought we’d already departed, another couple claimed to be us, they were on a mini bus tour not private. The car was called back and the situation quickly rectified. We still left the port area on time and were soon made very welcome by our guide Andrea and our driver Leandro. Our day ahead was explained to us and we were asked if there was anything else we’d like to see. Our drive out to Cruceros por la Peninsula Valdés was full of information about the area, what we could expect to see, and lots of our questions answered about living in Puerto Madryn. Andrea was very warm, friendly, passionate about her job and what she wanted to share with us, a real pleasure to be with. Leandro was full of information when assisting Andrea, if she wasn’t sure of the answer, she wasn’t afraid to ask him. Even though it was their first time together, you’d have thought it had been years by the very cohesive way they worked together. We saw just about all we could have expected to, Sea Lions, Elephant Seal, Guanaco, Rhea, Magellanic Penguins, Pichi, Tinamous and many other birds. You have to be very lucky to see Orca, Southern Write or any other Whales, this is Nature, and these sightings are very rare. Leandro was a very safe, conscientious driver who was constantly looking for wildlife as we transited between locations. He is a very thoughtful, considerate, friendly gentleman who made us feel very comfortable and safe. Andrea was so friendly and had a very likeable character, she is very dedicated to giving the correct information, knew so much about what we saw, told us about legends, history and the wildlife. Leandro was very knowledgable and keen to help us, Andrea’s English was very good and she translated for him and us, they are a great team and really made our day special. The tour was supposed to be around 6 hours, but between them they squeezed in so much more and still got us back to our ship in plenty of time after nearly 8 hours touring. It was an absolute pleasure meeting and touring with Andrea and Leandro. Thank you both very much!

    Eric, Thank you very much for your review! We are glad to hear that you had a wonderful time! Peninsula Valdes is a worthwhile excursion due to the number of animals that can be seen in the area. We are happy to hear that you were satisfied with our services! We look forward to seeing you again whenever you decide to return! Thank you very much! Best regards, Romina

    Way too much driving to see so few animals...

    Francois_C, Mar 2024
    Our guide was really good. Very well spoken, knowledgeable. He was passionate about his job. The problem with this tour is definitely not the guide. It's the distance you have to cover in a 6-7 hour timeframe (more than 400 kms, at least half of which is on dirt roads... and the fact that you will only see a few penguins and sea lions very far away. Better have a good camera lenses for pictures!

    Thank you very much for the trust! It has been a pleasure to receive you, and we are happy that you had a beautiful experience at the destination. We are waiting for you when you want to return! We regret that they did not see many animals that day, but seeing them in their natural habitat often causes the animals to move freely and not see them in quantity. Greetings ! Romina and Aline

    Awesome experience

    Our guide Sergio was an absolute gem. Genuinely nice guy with great stories and full of facts. Tailored the trip to our needs. Awesome experience.

    Long dusty road that proved worth it

    Trevor_L, Jan 2024
    The variety of wildlife that we managed to see in the time available was great. The pick up was spot on time and place. Our guide/driver, Serge, was chatty and informative. He also managed to avoid the crowds and cover a lot of ground.

    Great Day to the Peninsula!

    We had an amazing day with Sergio. From pick up, to sight seeing, everything was wonderful. We were able to see elephant seals, penguins, and tons of land animals also. I highly recommend this experience!

    Die Landschaft ist sehr weitläufig und karg aber wir haben trotzdem sehr viel gesehen.

    Monika_K, Dec 2023
    Sehr schöne Tour und unser Guide war sehr nett . Wir haben Seelöwen und Pinguine gesehen. Die Fahrt war schon sehr lang aber es hat sich gelohnt.

    Sehr eindrückliche Tour mit tollem und netten Guide Luis!

    Hans_K, Mar 2023
    Unser Guide Luis hat uns sehr ausführlich und kompetent die Natur und die Tiere auf dieser Halbinsel Valdes erklärt und vor allem gezeigt. Dieser Teil Patagoniens ist sehr eindrücklich (Natur, Tiere) und sehenswert. Luis ist ein äusserst netter und toller Guide, wusste sehr viel über die Tiere, Natur Patagoniens etc. - wir würden jederzeit wieder mit ihm fahren!
