A bit expensive. Although we were fortunate to be the only two on this tour it did drag out to be a long day. I must mention the guide was extremely knowledgable, interesting, spoke excellent English and very easy to talk to. Unfortunately where we stopped for lunch even though the Resturant had good food lovely and staff, the heat of the day was exhausting, this was enhanced by no aircon in the Resturant.

It started hour before schedule, I think our guide new what he was doing. We did not have wait very long in line to get to museum. Thank you. the biggest pleasure was conversation during the ride to Isla Negra. Our guide had knowledge about socialism, about Patagonia, about cosmos different religions. He was amazing. Stupid me, I forgot his name, I forgot to ask if would like to become our friend. He shared same thoughts and ideas, he had same common sense. That was so amazing that people from different part of the world can be the same. Perhaps viator can help me find that AMAZING guy
