Awesome! - We had a lovely experience!! Our tour guide was wonderful, the views were spectacular, and the bus was very comfortable! It’s a lot of time on the bus but seems like the best way to see all of these places in one go! Definitely recommend.

Tour should be advertised as Spanish only! - I wish we could give a higher rating, because I think the tour guide tried hard to make this a good day out. However, the tour was sold as being in English as well as Spanish, and our driver/guide didn’t have any English at all. I have a little bit of Spanish so I managed to understand some, but it was difficult for me because I’m not fluent and I spent all day trying to understand quickly enough to translate for my partner. There were four of us on the tour, in a 4x4 where I was sat in the middle of the back seat. It was not very comfortable for me because I was squashed against a man I did not know for a long drive. There is some beautiful scenery, and I’m sure the driver/guide gave some interesting information if you are fluent in Spanish. I don’t have a problem with people not speaking English - but they should advertise and sell tickets as a Spanish tour in that case, so it is honestly advertised. Then we would have known to book with another tour company instead.

Not worth it . Overrated - We went by car, alternating stretches of road in good condition and some really terrible ones. And don't confuse gravel, dirt (things I love) with routes completely pocked with saws and without signage. The views on the trip are not great (nothing to do with the trip to Cafayate). We arrived in Cachi at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and literally EVERYTHING closed. The craft fair closes at 3:00 p.m., nothing to eat, just a cafeteria and an open ice cream parlor. To highlight, in the cafeteria they did not want to sell us water for the thermos (I don't have any, said the manager ha). I would not return, for us a lost day.
