It was a great day out. We were collected in Buenos Aires exactly on time by our driver and taken to the town of San Antonio de Areco where our guide Veronica was waiting for us. She was excellent, spoke perfect English. She was friendly, informative, knowledgeable and wanted to make sure we had a great experience. She took us around the town and then we went to the Estancia about 15 mins away. It was a beautiful place. We went horse-riding and had the best Empanadas on arrival. We chatted with Veronica over lunch, which was an amazing BBQ. She was very interactive and we discussed a lot of topics around Gauchos and Argentina generally. We were then taken back to our house in BA by the driver. An incredible day out, very well organised and an amazing experience from all with Veronica really making it a special day.
