Reviews

Wow, was für ein Tag in El Calafate! Über Best South America Tours habe ich die Exkursion zum Perito-Moreno-Gletscher gebucht - absolut top organisiert. Pünktliche Abholung, super Guide mit Humor und mega Wissen. Die Stege mit Blick auf die kalbende Eiswand waren mind-blowing; die optionale Bootsfahrt hat's noch getoppt. Keine Hektik, kleine Gruppe, klare Infos, dazu Tipps für Essen und warme Ausrüstung. Preis-Leistung passt voll. Wenn du Patagonien erleben willst: Diese Tour ist ein Must! Würde jederzeit wieder mit denen buchen. Unvergesslich! Tipp: Bring Handschuhe und Layer mit - der Wind geht ab.
