Great Experience - The tour guides, boat crew and photographers were very professional and friendly. The ride on the vintage boat was great to enjoy the panoramic views. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and biology of the forest. The whole tour was very organized and fun.

Very beautiful and interesting tour - We really enjoyed this trip. The boat we sailed on was very cool, it was the older one. The historical information about the region while in the boat was in English and in Spanish, so we could all understand. The first park visit was short but pretty. The visit to Victoria Island was the really highlight. We did the guided tour and the guide, Eduardo, was incredibly knowledgeable. My mom and I really enjoyed learning from him. The visit to island is a about an hour too long, so visitors should be prepared with card games or something to pass the time. Very worth the trip!

Great scenery - Beautiful scenery both on the islands and surroundings. Easy to board and debark boat on islands. Lack of English speaking guide was a surprise but we managed with our Spanish.

Not what we expected - We were hoping to learn more about the Parque Nacional. The boat was comfortable, but the tour guide and the audio tour on the boat were disappointing as well as the poorly marked trails. The tour guide gave no instructions on the bus trip. You couldn't really hear the boat's audio. The boat had a TV screen where a translation of the guide could be scrolled. The one area which did have guides no English guides were available. So if you are looking to learn about Parque Nacional this may not be the tour to choose.

The nature sabe this tour. - The memorable parts of this tour was the places. Beautiful views, amazing nature to enjoy, but we were on our own, for the price that was charged I think we overpaid.

Cut Short by The Staff for so we think so... - Beautiful sites, but a rickety older boat. The staff we believe skipped a few stops based on Argentina winning their World Cup match during the voyage. Some of the staff seemed drunk after the win too. Beautiful area but disappointed in the way it ended.

Bad experience - The view is nothing like what it describes, the order is different and the navigation takes almost 2 and a half hours on a boat that is also super slow. The places to see are beautiful but it is not worth the time or the price. The agency did not want to go to my hotel and they made me go to another one when it was literally 400 meters from where I am staying and we even passed by there in the truck. The truth is that I don't think it's worth it, it's boring, the guided tours are not good and the price is too much, plus you have to pay an additional 8,000 per person to enter the national park. The truth is I don't recommend it.

Isla Victoria & Arrayanes - We reserved this tour in English. The two guides not only did not speak English (or at least they said they didn't and they were obnoxious. The bus driver had the radio blasting with hard rock. A complete disappointment.

Don’t do it - Terrible experience. Viator is not reliable because local operators are not good. This was a very expensive tour and completely not worth it. The views are amazing and Bariloche is wonderful but you are better of doing it on your own and not through Viator. I paid $220 dollars per person, with transfer included. After paying and not being able to cancel I received an email that they would not pick me up and thus I paid 3 taxis because we were 11 people. To the 2,200 I paid Viator I had to add another 36 US in taxis one way. Then, park fees and boat fees are not included, adding another 9 US per person. When I arrived to the meeting point they said the tour was not with them. I showed them the Viator ticket and they said it wasn’t with them. After arguing with Turisur, the local agency, they found my tickets. I had to jump on a bus 40 minutes to the pier, passing right next to where I was staying. The boat itself is old, packed and the ride beautiful but boring and long. The forest is a nice walk. All in all definitely I would not pay $230 per person for this. I saw this morning the same tour in Viator for $130 so someone definitely scammed me. I am very upset and will never use this site again.
