Overall the tour was well organized,Flor was a sweet tour guide. The only wish would be to make more stops along the road. This road is very scenic and if it was me driving I would stop every 5min. In fact, if you can drive - it makes a lot of sence to rent a car and make this tour at your own pace.

Great tour with a lovely guide and a very good driver. The frist part was with a lof of sightseen stopps. Than we had time to discover the city/wineries on our own. And finaly the drove us back save and sound. Overall, they made my day!

The beautiful mountain scenery is well worth the drive from Salta. Lots of great stops and vistas along the way and Cafayate itself is charming.

We had an absolutely amazing time on this trip! Our tour guide Abel was incredible, super friendly and made the day run so smoothly. Shout out to our driver Edward who was also great and very friendly! It was a long day but we had lots of stops along the way and there was so much to see and do. We loved everything about the experience and would 100% recommend!

Stunning landscapes, worth the trip but make sure your guide keeps you to time. Majo was lovely and knowledgeable but quick 1O min stops turned to 20 and we couldn’t meet the bus for 25 mins at last pick up for some reason, plus we went on massive detour to drop someone at airport so return time was 9pm. Communication as to what was going on would’ve been less frustrating.

Interesting to witness the ice berg. The ride went smoothly, the sail was extremely well and we got to see the ice melting and a black iceberg rises

Tour arrived 30 minutes late. Could not contact them on telephone no. Given. Packed bus. Not enough bathroom breaks for such a long day. Although conducted in English the greater language was Spanish. Very short wine tour. Not an exciting tour. We were not dropped back to our collection point.
DAVID_D, Jan 2026
Sergio was great. Plenty to see to make the ~12 hour day worth it. Cafayate was maybe the destination but the journey is the best part.
Eleonora_B, Jan 2026
Great experience and really well organized tour. Majo did an amazing job and loved how she was engaged and the bus driver was also really good and patient. Would recommend this tour to anyone
Charlene_b, Oct 2025
The landscapes were stunning. The journey lasted from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM, but it was worth it. Maybe just the 2hours spent in Cafayate are to long. They is nothing to do there

We did the tour to Cafayete and it was great. Abel did an amazing job keeping us informed and entertained and the driver David, made sure we got there and back safely. We toured a winery that had great wine and was not a big commercial producer, so we were able to try wines that I haven’t seen before. Overall I would highly recommend this company and I’d ask for Abel if f it were me. He made
The tour the best tour of our trip.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
So glad you loved the Cafayate tour! 😍 Abel always brings great energy and knowledge, and David makes every trip safe and smooth. Thanks for the recommendation — we’ll be sure to share your kind words with them!

Rafael kept us all entertained. The bus ride is long, but the views are worth it. Watch out for motion sickness on all the curves if you’re susceptible.
Ellen_V, Mar 2026
The views to Cafayate are impressively beautiful and the town of Cafayate is super cozy.
Just a pity that there is so little chance of movement on the total time of 2pm that the excursion lasted. Keep in mind that you are really long on the bus, but with beautiful views 😉

An intense day through the geological millennia that have created South American geography, with a bonus of tasting excellent local wines

We were picked up at our hotel and visited the most beautiful touristic points of southern Salta. The guide advised us a typical restaurant for lunch at noon and brought us plenty of explanations along the way with a lot of humor, anecdotes and musical accompaniment.
Company guides are passionate about their land and their profession.
Very nice excursion. To do absolutely.
