Amazing - The 4x4 tour is delicious. Although our guide did not speak anything Portuguese he was super friendly, named Antônio, my son fell in love with him. I saw shares from people who were with guides who spoke Portuguese and that they tell a lot of history, show maps, as my guide only spoke Spanish we did not have it, but he was very attentive, polite and kind. The lakes visited are beautiful but nothing surpasses the visual where the refuge for lunch is, completely snowed and too beautiful, the lunch is delicious, a wonderful meat and a sweet milk ice cream in the delicious dessert too, including water, wine and soda too, unfortunately no meal has juice included (my son does not drink soda), so only water remains. Do not expect much adventure, the tour is much more visual (breathtaking and open-minded) than adventure. It's very worth it.

Everything was great. Will go again - Friendly tourism trip up the mountains with beautiful scenery and delicious food all in one package. Really get to know more about Argentina from the tour guide and I had the chance to try my new favorite wine from the Mendoza region.

An exceptional place! - I never imagined being in such a beautiful place! Marcos made this experience unforgettable, in a cabin on the shore of Lake Fagnano, surrounded by foxes, was very attentive and made us a delicious roast!

Diego was an excellent... - Diego was an excellent guide! My husband and I were the only English speakers on the tour so we didn’t necessarily get a lot of detailed explanation about the stops but were still able to enjoy the trip, scenery and especially the lunch.

Very cool walk, food not much - Very nice trip!! Special thanks to Ariel who was the driver of the ride, everything was even more fun for him, very fun, funny, communicative!! Now the lunch included from the tour- improve, you sell "Argentine churrasco" but comes a meat per person, very past and dry! We ate and drank in a hurry..., if I didn't have the question of the food would be all excellent, but it really was pretty bad, on the second tour we had the same question

A good trip but needs more information and explanation. - A good trip. We were able to see some amazing views and travelling in a 4x4 certainly enhanced the experience. Our guide was very pleasant but didn't provide much information on the beautiful scenery and the stops. The first stop for coffee was very poor. The hot chocolate, coffee and pastries were very poor quality. The off road 4x4 part of the journey was a bit pointless and just went round in a circle, it was off road for no apparent reason other than to experience off road driving. We felt it was unnecessary and would have preferred an option to omit this. The lunch was ok but not great. The vegetarian option again was very poor. Overall this is a great trip to see some fabulous views of Patagonia but the catering fell short. We would still recommend this trip but be prepared it is not a good dining experience. Definitely needed more explanation and information.

Nice tour, an off road experience - You’ll get picked up by a 4x4 SUV, everything ok. Driver was really funny, professional and knowledgeable of the area, flora and fauna. Fagnano Lake was absolutely awesome, and the driver prepares a totally great value for money meal which includes wine, choripán and meat (he even prepared vegan option for two of the group travelers), so everything great to that point. The only issue was that tour description mentions two lakes, the Escondido Lake you only stop by at one “watch site” for around 10-15 minutes, so that shouldn’t be charged as part of the tour per se. Other than that, nice day trip.

Nice driving tour through... - Nice driving tour through back roads to Lake Fagnano, which is remarkably beautiful. However we wished there was more time built in to walk or hike around, most of the time was spent in the car just looking out the window. The driver didn't speak much, it would have been nice to have more explanation of what we were looking at, stories or something. They did prepare and serve a very good and plentiful asado lunch at a comfortable cabin in the woods, which was probably the highlight of the day.
