1.From Buenos Aires: Gaucho and Ranch Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 809 reviews · 9 hours · from $168Our pick

A 9-hour Buenos Aires countryside day in San Antonio de Areco and an estancia, with empanadas, asado, dancing, and gaucho skills.

“We had an amazing day at Las Dueñas ranch! We were looked after very well with plenty of drinks and food (as much food, alcohol and soft drinks as you wanted)! The horse riding was lovely especially as I hadn’t been on a horse for a long while and was basically a new rider. They also allowed those who were more experienced to do a different route which was nice. The traditional dancing was also very nice and afterwards they taught us which was fun! We only wished we were at the ranch for longer!”

“We had a great time! Mariela was our guide. She's very personable and caring. Went out of her way to make sure everyone had what they needed. We didn't go to two of stops, museum and church probably because it was a Sunday. The gaucho show was amazing and food excellent. Wine made at the estancia, beer, sodas and water are included. The carriage ride was boring and honestly I could have done without. The van used needed new shock absorbers as the bumps in the highway and especially the road to the estancia were bone jarring Overall an excellent tour and worth the time!”

Auf der Ranch , etwas kurze Reit-Tour, Wenig Spannende Atraktivitäten für den Preis . Essen viel zu viel , geschmacklich TOP 4⭐️+. Ciara hat Top Übersetzt und war auch sonst Unterhaltsam und eine Hervorragende Gastgeberin. Preisl-Leistung =mässig. Das Essen und der Wein haben es etwas gerettet. Unterhaltung während dem Essen , schön, interessant, umd mit viel Liebe , aufgeführt. Trotzdem würde ich es zu diesem Preis , nicht weiter empfehlen.”
