Amazing Andes! - The story is half the journey. The history, the views, stops to observe and see more closely. The directions to the participants was right on. Great adventure and team learning.

Great to get so close to the high Andes - It was so good to get so close to the high mountains - on the bus! We really enjoyed experiencing the high altitude and the wonderful views at the Christmas the Redeemer statue. Romi gave a very good explanation of everything in English for us. And we were surprised by the great 'transport caf' lunch on the way back with choices of meat or local stew and mashed potatoes among other things!

Cool day trip to the mountains - Great full day tour, it started early with an easy pick-up. The stops were well organized and we were able to see super cool sites. A lot of historical information was shared by our guide but I missed some of it because she started pretty early while I was half-asleep

This is a must! - The views and experience are incredible. It is a long, full day, but the team were amazing. The van can be a little tight for United States sized people, but this is a must for any trip to the area. The food stop was delicious and there are several opportunities to pick up souvenirs. The leader gave explanations in Spanish and in English for the English speakers. It's very educational and boy, the views are incomparable. Our Airbnb wasn't on the pickup list, but they were kind enough to come to us for pickup. I cannot recommend this enough!

Put this tour of the Andes on your bucket list! - This is an excellent tour from start to finish! We were promptly picked up at our AirBnB at 7:15am. Ornella, our guide, spoke excellent English and made time to explain everything to us even though we were the only English speakers in the group of about 15. You have plenty of time at each stop to see what there is to see. She makes the explanations on the bus to save time. When we stopped to see Aconcagua the summit was covered in clouds much to my disappointment. On the way back it was clear and the driver made a point of stopping so I could take a photo. The entire way is one beautiful vista after another. Ornella was knowledgeable about the geology and history of the Andes and answered our questions with great courtesy. Most of the group were young people and everyone was punctual returning to the bus to move on which made our day between 10 and 11 hours. The switchback dirt road up to the Christ the Redeemer monument is really something especially when you know this used to be the only way across to Chile! We purchased our ticket directly from the agency in Mendoza at a great discount from the online price. Delores, the agent, was able to answer all my questions about what to expect and assure me the guide would, indeed, speak English. Gustavo was an accomplished driver and it appeared he knows the road very well! We consider this a must-do when visiting Mendoza
