Both the Perito Mereno Glacier tour and El Chalten tour by Patagonia Dreams were excellent. The tour guide was fantastic, very informative and great management of tourists with various languages. I would highly recommend this tour.

The best part of this tour is the drive through Patagonia to get to the walking areas. Lots of wildlife and you get to stop about halfway at the Hotel La Leona (lots of history at the hotel, i.e, Butch Cassidy was here in 1905, along with coffee and snacks). Our tour guide was Veronica, very nice young woman. One of the walks includes an ascent of about 1000 feet, so you need to be in at least moderate shape if you want to go to the top of the hill. Nothing much to see in the town of El Chalten, especially after the season when we went (most stores and restaurants are closed). But, if you want to see guanacos, this is the drive to take!
