“Our tour guide, Lourdes, was fantastic! She had a great sense of humor and was quite knowledgeable. I really feel like I learned quite a few things today! The transportation coach had nice AC which was a big plus. It was a long day, but it didn't really feel like it. My only comment for improvement would be to inform the guests when you're running late. Overall, I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the wine country.”

Explore Salta’s Lerma Valley, Quebrada de las Conchas, Cafayate, and Argentine wine on a scenic, low-cost full-day tour.
“We liked the tour and especially Carolina. She is very kind and knows a lot! Like other people mention, you do drive a lot so if sitting in a car for hours isn´t your cup of tea.. we wouldn´t recommend this tour. However the distance in Salta is big so there is not much you can do about it. The only thing we didn´t like was that we had to drive salta city voor 1h30 min to pick people up. We passed the square at our hotel 4 times.. we could have slept for an hour more. But the views are really amazing and you do get a lot for…”
Share a hands-on Argentine asado with local host Fede, homemade empanadas, Mendoza wine, mountain views, and a Fernet finale.
“From the moment I saw the opportunity to be hosted by a Mendocino local, I knew it was perfect for our family of four. Getting to know Fede was a delight. He has managed to create a unique, hands on Asado experience on his rooftop terrace. He is a crafter of wines and a magician with meat, not to mention dessert, which is not to be missed. From the moment we made the booking he was friendly and helpful. We hope, one day, to welcome him and his lovely family into our home.”

He even told Casa Vigil that it was our Anniversary so they brought our sparkling wine and a special dessert for us. All in all we would highly recommend this tour.”

“Lamentablemente no pudimos tomar la excursión, dado que nos equivocamos en la fecha y al avisar a la agencia nos negó la modificación a pesar de tener lugar de sobra!
