Our driver Fabio was great: he was engaging and interested in meeting new people as well as showing the areas! He always made sure that everyone was enjoying the tour. We had booked two activities with this company, and they were like night and day. This one was great!

Gracias por los comentarios, saludos !
Generally good, the tour guide was very nice and super educated about the history of the area. We spent 45 min at Salinas Grandes which was just enough time (though a bit more would have been a little less pressured.
The experience with the Hill of 7 Colours was mixed. We had a stop at a viewpoint which was ok. Later, we had 2h in the town of Purmamurca, with very little explanation or help given. We would have appreciated being told how easy it is to walk right up to the Hill, and that there is a municipal elevated view point in the town with a fantastic view. I don't think anyone in our tour knew this. We only discovered this on our own when we returned privately the next day.

I booked an English tour and the tour was conducted probably 95% in Spanish. The day is a very long time on the bus (730 am - 7pm) with limited stops for photographs. Lunch at the recommended restaurant was was average at best great Empanada mains very disappointing.

Excellent schedule and timely pick up. The local guide picked up was timely. She was very knowledgeable, ideally better mic and speakers to hear all the tour details clearly. Price per person is affordable and worth it.

Had a great time visiting really unique places. Totally worth the hype! 🤩
Something to keep in mind about the pick-up: I was told my location was too far from the main square, so I had to make my way to their office. However, after collecting all the passengers (which takes time), they passed by my location and picked up another passenger just two blocks away! I would have preferred to wait there instead. This could have been better organized.

It was a beautiful experience with friends. The Lourdes guide and the driver "el santiagueño" of first quality. Super friendly, very attentive and very cool!
The excursion is a 100000 amazing places, immense, super friendly locals. In salt flats 45 min stop was very short time. Since time is invested in the photons taken out by the locals.

Gracias por la reseña, saludos !!
We were speechless when visiting the Salinas Grandes in Salta. Me and my daughters. The scenery is simply breathtaking. The whiteness of the salt contrasts perfectly with the blue of the sky and the mountains that surround the place. It was a unique and exciting experience for us.
The tour was well organized and our guide was very knowledgeable about the place. We learned a lot about the history and geology of salt pans.
We recommend visiting this place if you are a nature lover. The boys in the salt flats were able to guide us in the photographs, very friendly. You're not gonna be disappointed!
5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
