Lived every minute. The guide was very good. I think his name was Leo. He managed a 2 language group well . We had enough stops for comfort or sightseeing on the way . Activities were good. Horse rude or cart. Singing and dancing. Huge lunch, taken in a leisurely manner with lots of meat. I had a really good time although I am a solo traveller. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get out of the city and see a bit of the countryside. For riders, the horses are very quiet.

It started out as a Downpour. Our guide, Miriam, convinced us we would enjoy the tour. Adaptations were made and we did. Music, dancing, Gaucho history, lots of food. Sadly, Horseback riding was cancelled. Departure time approached. Out came the sun. Miriam and everyone at the ranch stayed late so we could ride. Wonderful day. Impressive staff. Worth every dime!

We had a really great day at the ranch ! They tour guide Sabrina was so lovely and full of really great information about the city and the ranch. We arrived and had empanadas and wine which were amazing ! Then we did horseback riding - so relaxing and fun. Horses are very well trained. Afterwards we had a traditional bqq where they just kept bringing the meat !! It was amazing, all the food was delicious. After food we watched live music and dancing and got a chance to join in on the traditional dancing. It was very fun. Then we watched a short horse show with its rider. It truly was a great day experiencing the ranch in Argentina! 100% recommend
