Wow what a value! A whole day trip up into the Andes climaxing at Christ of the Andes. Beautiful views and vistas everywhere. Our guide was well informed and friendly. The driver, quite expert. The high altitudes can make travelers a little sleepy but all in all a relaxing and stress free way to visit the top of the world.

Amazing trip, great experience. Guide Lucas was super and I am very glad to have Jose Luis driving for me._br/_ Should be a “must” tour for those visiting the Mendoz region._br/_ Don’t forget to bring PESOS!!

Very beautiful tour through such a fantastic scenery. Expert guide for the region. A bit unfortunate not being able to get a bit closer to the Aconcagua. Lunch part a bit disorganized.

If I could give this tour minus stars I would and if I could find a way to demand a refund I would. Not because of the places it goes to or the content of the tour which we didnt actually get to experience but for the discomfort!_br/_ We were picked up from our hotel in a minibus that was already quite full. The only spare seats were at the back of the bus. Though legroom was limited it was bearable until we stopped to pick up two more passengers. It was impossible for 4 adults to fit in these seats. It was so uncomfortable and claustrophobic that we had to ask the bus to stop and get off. The guide was quite unsympathetic but she had the best seat on the bus!_br/_ We went back to our hotel Finca Adalgisa and the receptionist was very helpful. He arranged a private driver to take us. The car was very comfortable and the driver spoke perfect English and was a qualified guide. If there were 4 passengers in the car the cost would have been cheaper than this trip._br/_ We had a great day in comfort and often were the only people at each of the stops which gave us a really personal experience. We saw our bus at the view point for Aconcagua but this was on the highway. Because we were in a car we were able to enter a small car park and take a short walk to a much better viewpoint. _br/_ Our driver took us to a great place for lunch and helped us to get a really authentic lunch which was very good and great value. Our driver also seamed to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of all the best and cleanest bathroom facilities on route !_br/_ We have previously had good experiences on Viator tours and booked this because of our previous good experience but will think twice next time. _br/_ My advice is dont do this unless you have a longing to travel for 10 -12 hours on a school bus. Take a private tour and if there are 4 of you.

The cordillera was starkly spectacular, puente del Inca was stunning._br/_ Only negative was we were last picked up therefore at the back of the bus and so the English was difficult to comprehend._br/_ Also, take cash for lunch and shopping in Uspallata.

Nice bus tour of the Andes. Saw all the highlights. Lunch was ok. Tour guide was great and knowledgeable about the area.

Great affordable tour. Guide gave the tour in English as well even though I was the only English speaking person on the tour.

Actually a great trip. A little scary and COLD but incredible. You don't get to do this twice in a lifetime unless you climd mountains for fun._br/_ The guide was knowledgeable and informative. I would also say, this was FUN!

We were the only English speakers on the tour and ended up at the back of the bus so didn't get to hear really any of the descriptions or history of the area. If you're an English-only speaker not sure I'd recommend this one. Also it's a long day on the bus so be prepared, but the landscape is beautiful!

WARNING: NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE HEIGHTS!! We started off roading about four hours in, in a bus, which I figured would only be temporary. However, we ended up going all the way to the top of a mountain on a VERY steep one lane road to get to the border between Chile and Argentina. By the time we got to the top, the air was thin, and it was very, very cold. My friend and I had a hard time catching our breath, and ended up going back on the bus quickly. We were up there for a while, and I'm pretty sure on the drive up, passed into Chile a few times. Honestly, I had my eyes closed for pretty much the entire off-road portion. I get nervous on bridges, but this was a new level. When we made it to the top, and then when we made it to the bottom, everyone started applauding for the driver. It was NOT for the feint of heart.

We enjoyed the trip, though it is a long trip out to the mountains and back. Beautiful stops, but very quick and short typically 10-20 minutes. It's was a very nice experience and would recommend to others.

Had a wonderful day tour to the Andes out of Mendoza. Guide and driver were both excellent. Our guide spoke idiomatic American english. Beautiful day, with several stops to soak in the majesty of the mountains.

A great day! Tour leader Lucas was excellent - he made sure to translate everything as we were the only two anglophones on the bus. Fabio was a very good driver - safety first! Fantastic scenery, good company on the bus. Excellent all round and lots of fun.

Not sure it's worth the money--this tour follows the same route as all of the other ones that you can book in Mendoza which were much cheaper. You don't get a good view of the Aconcagua mountain, so if that's what you're looking for, don't do this tour. There's a a good view from the Ski lift-but you pay an additional 180 pesos for that...Overall, I'd recomend finding a cheaper option since this one wasn't very special.

I was expecting a better view of the Aconcagua
Review by: Candace A, October 2016
You cannot go to Mendoza without visiting the Andes, and this tour is the perfect way to do it! The scenery was magnificent! Our guide, Martin, was very knowledgeable about the history and legends of the Andes which he shared in English and Spanish. Our driver, Daniel, was also excellent. The pick up at our hotel was on time and the tour bus was comfortable. The buffet lunch was reasonably priced and very good. I highly recommend this tour - you won't be disappointed!

The trip is not worth the money. Too less time out, too less information from the guide regarding the area, too boring and too long the single routes. Completely disappointing.

Loved the views and scenery was amazing we and #39;ll worth the trip !!!Our guide was very attentive Damion we were the only 2 English speaking couple so he kept us at the front of the bus to explain in English to us after speaking in Spanish.
