Highly trained guides and comfortable and punctual transport service. The four-day tour allowed us to visit the whole wonderful area of Salta, with different views every day. The agency works with small groups (maximum 15 people) and this is certainly an advantage for the traveler

We contracted the 4 tours with the TIAMAR company, it really was a very good option. The company was always attentive to everything, constantly communicating with us to organize everything. Despite that, we couldn't do one of the tours due to the road pickets, but we will get our money back. The walks that we did were all spectacular, the guide Fernando was very good, attentive with a lot of interesting information that transmitted knowledge about everything you were seeing. In the office, Fernanda is also always attentive to everything. It is highly recommended to contract with this agency

The purchased set of tours turned out to be a great choice. Each trip exceeded our expectations. I must admit that the next 4 days were filled from 7 to 19-21. Distances to individual attractions are large and long to drive. All the pilots were great: thank you Fernando, Ana and Walter. Your information in English was clear and understandable. The cars are new, although it must be admitted that traveling in the front is more comfortable. Stops for attractions and technical breaks, no problem. Choosing this form of sightseeing is, in my opinion, the best opportunity to commune with the surrounding natural wonders. You are picked up from your hotel and dropped off, I am only interested in enjoying the area and the culture. I recommend active tourists.
