We arrived in Ushuaia a day early for our Antarctica expedition with the intent of taking this tour. We had a wonderful time on our tour of Tierra del Fuego National Park - our guide was excellent, and managed informative narration in three languages, without us feeling we missed something. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and learning a great deal about the people who called this land home before outsiders arrived. The End of the World Train was enjoyable and informative. The recorded narration told a fascinating history of the penal colony that operated in this location. We were surprised to see all the tree stumps remaining as evidence of prisoner labor. We recommend this tour.

The train was dull. The post office was closed when we stopped by (it opened ~45 minutes later). Tierra del Fuego is beautiful, but I would recommend against the large tour bus route.
The guide shared interesting information about the area, but overall I felt it wasn't worth the price.

The End of the World Train is really fascinating. I've never been on a narrow gauge railroad before. The experience is well curated--there is a loudspeaker that narrates what you are seeing, and how it was built (prison labor) and also quotes from some of the men who did the work, which was grueling and freezing, but a way to leave the prison for a time . It is not a long ride, but some of the views were amazing, as was the chance to see wild horses running free. We continued to see horses as we toured the national park, and some of the views there, especially from the post office, were really spectacular. It was a pleasant and informative way to spend a morning. Windy though so dress appropriately!

This tour had three excellent components. Today's tour started with a 2+ hour bus ride through the beauty of the National Park with several opportunities to get off the bus for scenic views and photos. The next step was boarding the train in the park to head back to town. We found the recorded narration very informative and interesting - the story of the founding of Ushuaia as a penal colony. What made this package excellent was our guide Pablo. He seemed to relate to each person in the tour group on a personal basis. He provided clear, interesting information in 3 languages in an entertaining manner. We've been with guides all around the world, and Pablo is one of the best.

I changed the date and no one picked me up. When I inquired, they notified me that I would be contacted a day prior to the trip regarding pick up location. I told them to please cancel the trip, as it had already passed and I was not picked up. Again, they sent me a message stating that they are excited to have me on board.

The Tierra del Fuego National Park Half-Day Tour with Optional End of the World Train Ride was an OK tour. However, it is not worth the money. The train ride is very short, > 90 minutes. The Tierra del Fuego Park is worth a visit but it is definitely not a must-see.

We had such a good time in this park especially with the tall colors and sparkling lakes and creeks. Adriana our guide was able to guide us well through the whole trip. The train ride is likewise amazing.

I reserved an English tour and I was the only one on the bus who spoke English. The tour was in Spanish.

The park is lovely and the train ride was very interesting, mainly to learn about the history of the area and particularly the penal colony. The train is very "cozy" - not terribly comfortable for "plus-size" passengers. The stop at the end of the Pan-American highway was fun and interesting. Our guide was very informative and pleasant.
