Nice contrast to Buenos Aires city life - It’s a pleasant day spent in beautiful countryside. The lunch is OK and staff are friendly. Very laidback atmosphere, very relaxing. The horse ride is worth doing even for beginners. We enjoyed the day as a contrast to the city and our guide, Emilia, was outstanding.

Exceptional Tour - This was the best organized Viator tour we have been on. The ranch horse riding, lunch and cultural dancing was wonderful. Our guide and driver were exceptional! One thing that needs to be corrected on the tour description is the requirement to bring passports. There is no reason to require passports and there is no situation where they would be needed or checked.

Wonderful day with Gaucho s - What a wonderful day! Our guide Enrique was outstanding. Very attentive and insured we had the best service, seats and food. His knowledge of Argentina and the gauchos were excellent. Just one thing to remember it truly is a 9 hour day. And the food was amazing! Wonderful time

A day at the finca - The best empanadas while we were in BA. Nice trip the horse ride was a short loop but if you have never been on a horse I guess it’s good. The finca was nice the food was great. We stopped at some nice places on the way. It broke up the ride. My wife enjoyed the day.

Awesome life in the Pampas. - Amazing day in the outskirts of the City. After a quick travel from the City we got to visit the beautiful town of San Antonio de Areco, after that, our guide introduced us to the Family that owns the ranch, and the owner Angie gave us a full intro into their lives that was outstanding. Lunch and activities were awesome, and we got to see some dexterity by the gauchos.

Great day out! - A great day activity from Buenos Aires. The Estancia felt very authentic. Entertainment singing / dancing and a horse whisperer plus the horse ride were great.
Tiyr guide was good too.
Only criticism was the poor communication re pick up and drop off. We weren't made aware that a taxi would pick us up and take us to a different location to wait for the tour bus. A bit more clarity would have been beneficial.

Day at a ranch - Horseback ride was short but fun, the food was plentiful but not very good. The traditional Argentinian dancing was enjoyable and the horse whisperer was fun to watch. Enjoyable to get out of the city but I’m not sure it was worth the price.
