excellent adventure - our most memorable excursion yet! David was an amazing guide: friendly, courteous, and fun! The snack and lunch he made us was more than enough, and delicious. He stopped at several highlights to allow us to take photos and soak up the beautiful countryside. I would recommend for anyone who isn't afraid of a bumpy 4x4 ride, and wants to see inside Patagonia.

Excellent Day!!! - Martin was amazing and friendly. Unique adventure. driving through the lake, going down the valley, having horseback riding and time to relax and enjoy a traditional Asada meal (grill meats). The farm and people were hospitable and kind.

Great Adventure with Excellent Driver - Three 4WD vehicles traveled together over some beautiful and challenging terrain. The hospitality of the drivers was amazing. They provided coffee and pastries at a remote cabin on the shore of Lake Fagnano. Later in the excursion they provided a great barbeque lunch. They grilled 3 beef roasts, several chorizos and morcillas. Their home made alfajores were better than those at Havana. The drivers were the nicest most hospitable people that have provided tours.

Off Road Tour - This tour was everything we hoped for in an off road experience. True 4 x 4 roads through beautiful forests to stunning lakes. Raoul was our driver and we could tell he was very experienced at 4 x 4 off roading. Lunch was delicious and very filling. There was a small issue at the beginning of the tour but Patagonia's customer service was excellent and resolved it for us. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Great Outdoor Views - We had Christian as our tour guide—he seemed to be the leader of a pack of 6-7 4x4 vehicles—and he was a good guide, with clear explanations.
We were not able to ride the canoes, as the wind was blowing too fast and he deemed it to be unsafe. We were disappointed, but fully agreed with his call.
The food in the hut was great, and the tour of the Huskies unique.

Didn’t really get what was described on the tour information - What we thought should have been a full day experience seemed like a half day tour. We were picked up at 9am by our guide and driver, Juan. He was very friendly and an excellent driver. First stop was by the road for photos ops or the magnificent Andes mountains. Next stop was again by the side of the road to view Escondido Lake from a distance. Then off we go through a trail, with Juan deftly maneuvering the vehicle to get to Fagnano lake. We were offered snacks and a hot drink. The tour description said we’d stop for 2 hours for snacks and a guide through hidden trails to see animal, etc. but that didn’t happen because we stayed for only 30 mins. After our snacks, we pack up and head to a restaurant to order our meals. We get there at 12 noon. Food was ok. By 1:30 we leave and we’re back at the drop off point by 3pm. I feel we paid too much for this tour. I expected more activities for the price we paid.
