Amazing. - What an amazing day. Last day of our holiday and it was amazing. We were collected around 8am and driven to San Antonio a small town that has been preserved with artisan crafts with an excellent guided tour. Then off to the Estancia to be greated with empanadas and beer. Take a horse ride or carriage, lunch with a small group with meats cooked asado. See the Gauchos and their children work the horses, enjoy the music and dancing, taking part if you wish (good fun) and then wstch the horse (wispering) acrobatics. Fantastic day, well worth it.

We booked the premium... - We booked the premium option that includes the horse ride. We had such a wonderful experience with Alexandra as our guide and Diego as our driver. From pickup until the end is nothing but perfection. El Ombu ranch was beautiful and we had the best meal during our time in Argentina. Thanks again for the day!

Great Ranch Experience - This was a great experience on a beautiful ranch outside of Buenos Aires. The van ride took about 90 min, but Amie was full of great information and is an excellent guide. She made the ride go quickly. It was obvious that the ranch is an active working ranch, with well-cared for horses and some lovely spoiled dogs. The meal was abundant and delicious. The gauchos are talented and the show was a display of how well they are in touch with their horses.

Fun outing - This was a great chance to get out of the city to see a small town out in the countryside as well as a ranch. We were expecting to see more gaucho life than we did. On the other hand the food was delicious and plentiful. Our guide, Emelia, was amazing. She has a passion for what she does. She did her talk in English and Spanish and took turns in who got to here theur language first.
