What people love about Private Tours in Patagonia
- Argentina & Chile: Amazing Patagonia - 13 days
This trip was very good. Accommodation was also good however in El Calafate we were a long way from the township. Everywhere else was within easy walking distance. The tours included in this trip were well operated and most enjoyable. The public bus from Puerto Arenas to Ushuaia was not what we expected. Beautiful coach for the first 5 0r 6 hours. Then the bus was stopped and we all had to get off. The 4 people on the Say Hueque trip were told to get in a car and we were taken to the town Rio Grande.We didnt know what was going on and just told we would catch a local mini bus in an hour from there to Ushuaia. Very strange and no explanation given. This bus company should be investigated to see what is happening. I would definitely recommend this trip however, would suggest a stay in Terres del paine for an extra day to improve it.
I did this trip couple of days ago and I really enjoyed it. Everything was very well organised, great itinerary and great selection of Hotels in El Calafate, El Chalten and Puerto Natales. Once we landed in El Calafate we found the bus company booked by our guides and got on the bus for El Chalten. There we did two amazing hiking trails Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Torre. Both of them were well maintained with magnificent views. From El Chalten a bus picked us up from our hotel and drove us back to El Calafate. There we visited the glacier national park to see Perito Moreno Glacier from the view points and from a boat (cruise) that took us very close for a better look. The guide we had was great, very knowledgeable and friendly (English, German and Spanish speaker). Then the following day, they picked us up early for our day in Torres del Paine national Park in Chile. The weather wasn't very good but it didn't rain and the view of the Torres was pretty limited (cloudy, misty) but still very impressive. From there the rest of the group went back to Argentina while we got picked up by a mini bus that took us to Puerto Natales where we spent two chilled days wandering around the town. The next day we took a taxi to the bus station where we caught the 8 o'clock bus back to El Calafate. Finally we spent one more day there and the following morning a mini bus picked us up and took us to the airport on time for our flight. To sum up, everything worked out very well and there were no problems in the hotels and the different means of transport. There was also good communication via email with the people from Say Hueque. They were very keen to see if everything was going ok for us. I would definitely recommend Say Hueque.

We had an excellent time during this tour! Our guides were absolutely fantastic (especially Ignacio for Tierra Del Fuego and Diego for Iguazu). My one suggestion is I wish there had been more clarity on specifics of the tours, including the typical tour group size, intensity of activity, etc. During the Torres Del Paine day, I also felt like details were rather scarce on the itinerary of what this day entailed. The accommodations were excellent and very helpful. The wifi was not the greatest in several locations, but still available. Breakfast was always a great spready at each location. I'm also grateful for the communication with Tourradar prior to the tour - they were very responsive and addressed our questions.
