What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Argentina
- 10-Day Argentina, Iguazu & Patagonia Tour From Buenos Aires
Overall it was a very well planned trip and everything went according to plan. Tangol was able to modify the trip to include Ushuaia instead of Igazu which is what I wanted. The only two things was the tour in Puerto Madryn brought us to a boat tour to see the whales which was not included in the tour when it should be. The boat tour was 150,000 ARG pesos. The other issue was the driver at then end was going to AEP airport but I had to tell him to go to the other airport EZE. Luckily I knew the difference. Also Rochester hotel in Buenos Aires is way better situated and nicer than Merit San Telmo in my opinion.
- 12 Days - Classic Argentina
I wouol like to recommens.
- Argentina Triangle: Buenos Aires, Iguazú Falls & Bariloche
