ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC Well worth the amount of money charged.Food and entertainment amazing courier great Whichever company you used stay with them.

Review by: Kevin M	March 2012
Pick-up much later than expected - hard to contact them to find out what was happening. Disappointed in the 'gaucho' part of the entertainment - just repeated the same 'tricks' with horses many times - no cattle at all!

This was a fun day. Was picked up as indicated and trip went smoothly.

Review by: Brad F	January 2012
It was a very relaxing day to get out of the city. We got there and had empanadas and wine/beer/juice. Then you had the option to go horseback riding for 10 mins or a 5 minute carriage ride. If you didn't do either, you could just walk around or sit and drink. We had lunch and then a couple of dances and then the Gauchos did a horse show where they caught a small ring on a toothpick while riding a horse. That's it. There was no learning about the gauchos, history, lifestyle, etc. If you want a relaxing day in the countryside away from the city, it was fun. If you want to learn, this is not it.

Great experience! We had the best guide you can have, His name is Tommy or his real name Tomás. He can explain a lot about the city, he will joke with you and make the whole trip priceless. He even participate in the Gaucho rituals. If you go to Argentina and get this guy, he is the best. Thank you Tommy!

It was a great experience. The guide was very personable and knowledgeable. The estancia was beautiful, the food fabulous and the gauchos entertaining and guapo! The only complaint is that the bus picked us up an hour late. While I am well aware of the frequent tardiness of the argentine people, this tardiness was quite excessive.

Wonderful experience. Guide translated tour commentary in to English for us which was very helpful and ranch team were friendly. Vegetarian guest was catered for too which had been tricky in Argentina.

Review by: Donaldson M	December 2011
Tour was well done. We are glad we went on it. The beef was very good, and there were a lot of interesting activities

Review by: Tricia	November 2011
Was a lot of fun. The performances of the singers, Tango Dancers and Bolo were entertaining and professional. The Gaucha's_br/_ were entertaining and made the activities fun._br/_ The food was good also._br/_ A very good tour.

Review by: Connaught S	November 2011
We had a great day on the ranch. Our guide Jose made the trip to the ranch enjoyable as he was very knowledgable and personable. He made sure we all got to participate in the activities. We were disappointed to miss the horse backriding before lunch so he made sure everyone who wanted to had the opportunity to ride a horse. We had lunch with people from all over the world and the food and wine were excellent. I highly recommend this trip.

Review by: Paul P	October 2011
The day trip was just fantastic. Our guide Thomas we execellent and took good care of us. He was informative, spoke perfect english and ensured we got a great table to view the show._br/_ The actual ranch was good, the lunch was well worth the wait with unlimited red wine and beer. We could not ask for more._br/_ After such a great lunch we were fully entertained for an hour and a half with traditional music and dance._br/_ The only down side for me was the passing of the hat for a contribution to the performers and the gift shop seem to be on the expensive side for Argentina._br/_ The horse races were excellent._br/_ I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Review by: Martin S	August 2011
An absolutely terrific way to spend a day. If you've concentrated on Buenos Aires and are looking for a change of pace/scenery, this tour will not disappoint. Good (and plenty) food and drink, pleasant welcoming staff, and a wonderful environment. I cannot recommend this tip highly enough.

An amazing day out of the city. The staff/gauchos at the estancia are wonderful and a joy to be around. The horseback riding is fun and the food is delicious. I would love to do it again.

Very enjoyable day driving out into the pampas_br/_ with a good guide and a huge lunch which featured many typical meats of Argentin.

Review by: Richard D	March 2011
One of the best days of our trip. My wife even got a ring and kiss from a gaucho. My only disappointment was I did not get to gallop when I rode the horse. Our guide was excellent.

Review by: Ronald D	February 2011
Very enjoyable. Tour guide Flavia and the driver professional. Learned a lot about the lifestyle on a Gaucha ranch. Beautiful grounds, terrific food, and lots of it. At conclusion of our wonderful lunch,, we were entertained by singers, dancers and gauchos. The gauchos presented an _br/_ amazing demonstration of horsemanship. Terrific hospitality by everyone at the ranch. Would VERY highly recommend this tour. Karen D.

This is a must for everybody who goes to Buenos Aires. The countryside experience with the Gauchos was wonderful, and the food was excellent!

Review by: AZAD F	February 2011
Good day. Food could be better as the Bar-BQ_br/_ was not of the usual high standard. We had a nice time.

Review by: Jay M	January 2011
Very good tour. Food was excellent and bountiful. Good entertainment while enjoying barbecue. After barbecue, gauchos put on an entertaining horse show and display an engaging personality.

Review by: Fein M	January 2011
Our bus ride out was informative and the guide was excellent. the food at the fiesta could have been better but the people there were wonderful.

Review by: Robert C	November 2010
It was an interesting day tour. It is quite a drive away from Buenos Aires and good to get away form the city. The lunch was delicious. The music and dancing of the show was quite good. When they did the horse riding tricks outside, it was not bad. The place is obviously set up for tourists and did not seem like a normal farm but it was fine. Lou our guide was informative.

Review by: scubansidney	November 2010
We had a great day. The tour guide and bus driver were very good. We first stopped at a small museum / art gallery which was fun. Then we went to the ranch and were met by a group of gauchos, and appetizers and unlimited Argentinean wine, which was outstanding. We had the choice of riding horses, a pulled carriage, or just drinking more wine. Next was a great dance show, with parilla, including asada, again great! Then the gauchos showed off on their horses, they know their stuff. Then more great wine. On the bus ride home we won a drawing which was from the artist we stopped at earlier. The day was perfect!

This was our third visit here. An outstanding experience. Warm, welcoming, friendly, entertaining. Lots of very good asado food. The formal entertainment is very enjoyable. The gaucho riding is quite lively. A very, very good value. Don't miss it.

On time picking us up, excellent tour guides and really fun, activity-filled day. Definitely worth doing if you're interested in seeing a little bit of the country life.

This event is so much fun, enjoyable and relaxing.

Review by: Ann K, United States of America	April 2010
Absolutely fantastic. Princess Cruieline had a similar choice. We talked with their participants after we had done this and found our much superior and cheaper than theirs. The estancia had great entertainment, above average food and interesting grounds to roam. We would do it again in a heartbeat and recommend it to all who travel to Buenos Aires. Oh, and our guide was super too!

Review by: Patrick D, United Kingdom	February 2010
It was an experience we will never forget, especially the horse riding.
