Attentive guide and fantastic Estancia experience.. - Estancia was attractive and well run. Excellent food and entertainment. A great introduction to guacho history and life. Our private guide was very knowledgeable for our trip to and from the estancia and help us organize where to be, and when, to maximize our viewing and photo opportunities.

A day with the Gauchos - We had a wonderful day with Marcelo, he is truly a gifted and knowledgeable guide. With many years of experience, Marcelo was able to give us a clear understanding of the history and culture of Buenos Aires and Argentina. This was our third time visiting an Estancia, and I can say the three were all different in certain ways, and all were fun. Marcelo had specific knowledge of this Estancia and was able to give us a unique perspective on its history. This was a wonderful day trip when visiting Bueno Aires and would highly recommend this activity. Thank you Marcelo for a wonderful day.

We hired a private guide... - We hired a private guide (Diego) through Viator and had a great experience. He was made to be in the business, paying total attention to us and ensuring we got every possible thing we could need taken care of. We stopped in town and did a little silver and wool shopping, and then headed off to the estancia which was absolutely beautiful. We ate a LOT of beef and fabulous empanadas, took a nice walk through the grounds, watched some dancing, and even did a little trail ride. Highly recommend!

An amazing experience... - An amazing experience into Argentina’s most iconic region—Marcelo was the perfect guide—warm, knowledgeable with excellent command of English—the day was well planned with great series of accessible activities, from horseback riding and dancing to swimming in an infinity pool—all the while meeting and listening to guachos —highly recommended

Outstanding trip - Pablo was an Outstanding tour companion. Extensive discussion about Argentina and the surroundings during city departure on the drive to Estancia. Had one stop enroute in a small town to visit chocolate and silver smith stores. Included a visit to local gaucho pub. He provided over 50 pictures/videos he took of us at Estancia. Horse back ride for 45 minutes, gaucho music and dancing, and group guest dancing. Horse whisper performance was great. Food was excellent with at least 7 different meats served.

Spend a wonderful day on the pampas on a gaucho ranch - Went on a 9 hour tour to a gaucho ranch and a family silver smith business in a nearby town. Wonderful experience, rode a horse, had a tremendous meal, toured the grounds, learned a community dance, beautiful setting. Our guide and driver were great, Miriam from signature tours. Highly recommend.

Perfect Day - We had such a fabulous time at Ombu de Areco. The estancia was gorgeous and we enjoyed all of the activities during our visit. Diego was an excellent guide and provided so much information and history about the ranch. The brief stop at the charming town of Areco was a nice bonus. He also gave many good cafe & restaurant recommendations while in Buenos Aires. It would be a pleasure to tour with him again when we come back. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you again!
