A brilliant day trip up into the Andes to see Aconcagua and a few other sights on the way up. Federico was a superb tour guide, he was full of personality and interesting insights into the mountains and always made sure we were well looked after. Danny was a great driver and made sure we were always well fed and topped up with hot drinks!

The Aconcagua Tour was interesting, informative, fun and well-organized! We especially appreciated all the attention to detail from our guide, Frederico, and his driver. He stayed on schedule and allowed for several breaks for lunch, snacks, coffee, and restrooms. I especially enjoyed the interesting historical and geological information Frederico provided in both Spanish and English. This tour was a perfect way to experience this part of the Andes in only one day.

We had a fantastic guide, Federico, who spent the whole day recounting the history of the area and explaining the key sights along the way. And the views both from the bus and on the hike were absolutely spectacular. The hike is not strenuous and the journey was nicely broken up with bathroom breaks. I would highly recommend this tour!

We had a fabulous trip with our guide, Freddy, and our driver, Gonzo. From their wonderful commentary to their humor to their attentiveness to the snack and lunch they provided, we could not have asked for a better experience!

My friends and me had such an amazing time doing the Aconcagua day hike! Roberto, our driver, drove us for about 3 hours through this amazing landscape while Federico told us everything about it. He spoke both English and French. During the hike, the speed was slow but steady so we wouldn’t be out of breath because of the height. They took such good care of us with lots of food and water. We had a great time and the views were breathtaking!

This was an amazing way to learn about the history and landscape of Mendoza and Aconcagua. Federico and Marcos were both very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Federico has been guiding Aconcagua for decades and clearly knows what he’s talking about, and spoke perfect English. We would definitely recommend this trip!

The operator is very good at communicating with us before during and after the tour. We felt like being very well taken care of and no anxiety before during the tour. There was a mud slide on the way back and we were stuck on the road. The operator immediately contacted us, asking us how we were doing… The tour guide Maggie(?, not sure how to spell) speaks good English and gave us a lot of attention even though we were the only two in the group speaking English. Highly recommend the tour with this company. Thank you so much. We had a lot of fun.
