Recommended and essential if you go to Bariloche. If you're lucky enough to be boarding the Modesta Victoria it's cool - Lake Nahuel Huapi is charming, with spectacular scenery. The boat Modesta Victoria is from 1939 and is beautiful and very well maintained. I made this crossing five times. The staff is very friendly and attentive. You always want to come back.

Recommendation of a charming hotel with a beautiful beach in Tunisia -Port el kantaoui - Hotel Mouradi kantaoui club is a hotel with a very beautiful soul and a superb beach .. with bungalows very close to the beach and a driveway exuding enormous charm leading to the sea , the hotel is run by very professional and very kind employees . We really feel that the machine is very well run and that there is a know-how of the craft that has been going on for a very long time. We eat well and enjoy this beautiful beach to the fullest

Great Experience - The tour guides, boat crew and photographers were very professional and friendly. The ride on the vintage boat was great to enjoy the panoramic views. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and biology of the forest. The whole tour was very organized and fun.

Impressive vegetation - The ride was nice. Victoria Island is a must see. These trees are impressive in their size.

Not what we expected - We were hoping to learn more about the Parque Nacional. The boat was comfortable, but the tour guide and the audio tour on the boat were disappointing as well as the poorly marked trails. The tour guide gave no instructions on the bus trip. You couldn't really hear the boat's audio. The boat had a TV screen where a translation of the guide could be scrolled. The one area which did have guides no English guides were available. So if you are looking to learn about Parque Nacional this may not be the tour to choose.

Get away from this tour, rip off and don't keep what's announced! - Viator cooperates with Tanglo Guardia Agency (locally). The company that runs this excursion is called Turisur. Booked tour in the morning, 9 hours with English speaking guide. In the afternoon before the tour you will receive a message that the booked tour with Get Your Guide will be done in the morning without an English guide for technical reasons and whether you want to change your booking to the afternoon with an English-speaking guide. My question whether it is the same service as the booked excursion was answered in the affirmative. We received a tour for 6 hours and guide spoke almost only Spanish. The explanations of the guide on board the ship were 10 minutes Spanish and 1 minute concise execution in English (we now arrive and depart again... ) No further information e.g. origin history etc. or even where the toilets are... only for Spanish speaking people. The guide (she) deliberately sent us on two tours (alone) and did not tell us that she was taking a tour. When we met you (on our tours) with a group of Spanish-speaking people, she even wanted to send us on. She pointed me to signs that I could read, that the information would be in English and explained everything further in Spanish, although the signs also said everything in Spanish. There is not much to see on the two islands. You can really save that. The ship itself and the view is quite nice... that's all. I've done some tours in Argentina and was happy with everyone, but this tour is overpriced, doesn't stop what's on offer: Described chairlift did not exist at all and English speaking guide also not really. All in all, this is an outrage. Viator should take this out of the program or only offer it in Spanish!

Would not recommend this trip! - This was an interesting trip. What we saw was beautiful but the tour was awful and we would not recommend it. This trip was advertised as being 6 hours on a catamaran with an English speaking guide. The reality was we were on a boat that was built in 1938 and looked like the African Queen. The 1 guide who spoke English barely spoke English. The trip actually lasted from pick up to drop off took 10 hours! We missed the evening tour and dinner scheduled with the rest of our group!

Funeral on Arrayanes Island! - It was a Funeral, 98 % of all of the trees on Crape Myrtle Island "arrayanes" were dead! No Joke, When I pointed this out to the tour Leader Fernandez, he said there was still hope, pointing to a meesly living sprig on a giant dead arrayanes tree!!! This is called deception, the photos for the tour pictures beautiful Arrayans Trees! Please refund my money.
