          Great tour of Mendoza wineries
          We booked our holiday through Trailfinders and SAK are there go to guides etc in Argentina. They were great. We were picked up from the airport and taken to our hotel, water was produced from the start. We had a 3 winery tour already booked which included lunch on day 1 which was lovely. We got to try loads of lovely wines. We then booked a 2nd trip direct with SAK a similar tour that went into a different valley and this included a fantastic traditional Asado BBQ, there was SO MUCH food but all delicious; again washed down with lots of lovely wines. Our guide was great and gave us so much info about Mendoza and Argentina. Would recommend them.

          Unforgettable Horseback Ride and Traditional Asada
          This experience was unforgettable. Every detail was better than the next. We started with delicious freshly made empanadas, then Javier and Cesar safely guided us to outstanding views on horseback, through vineyards and over streams. We then were treated to a delicious traditional asada at Cesar’s house while we learned about the horses, the food, the history of the area, the wine, etc among great company. Every detail was incredible and I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone!

          Mendoza wine cycling in great company
          Lina was a lovely guide always with a big captivating smile taking us safely through the Ciclovia and stoping at 2 wineries (Alta vista and Pulmary). The winery tours were thorough and given by the funny Florência at Alta Vista and passionate Enologist Ramiro at Pulmary. We learned a lot on the makings of argentinean wine and loved delicious tastings at the end where the different aromas were present across the different varieties. To note that although we had a rainy morning in Mendoza (a rare event), the SAK team worked hard to rearrange our bike tour the same day but for the afternoon so we could enjoy the wine and views around in Chacras de Coria. I def recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about wines in Argentina. Thank you!

          Great day in Mendoza.
          Lina was a wonderful guide that brought me to three very different establishments that were all very interesting. If you like the big industrial wineries, this is not your thing. Small, classy and delicious selections. I had a great time.

          SAK is Amazing
          Absolutely excellent service from start to finish! I worked with Josephina to plan the trip and she was great - she provided the exact trip we were looking for, was easy and quick to communicate, and the trip went exactly as planned. I would highly recommend SAK Wines. Great English, too! Additionally, she was able to help us when we had to scramble at the end. We had a trip to Peru planned on the front end but then Peru declared a National Emergency and that trip was cancelled. Josephina was able to add some time to our Mendoza trip and juggle a few other things around. Highly recommend SAK Wines for a trip to Mendoza. We booked quite a few of their tours - wineries and gourmet lunches in Mendoza, Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo. We also hiked for a day, as well as rode bikes. All were great experiences. Our driver was Patricio and he was so much fun. Lots of good music and great conversation. We didn't share a common language but our guide translated and he participated in the conversations just as much as the guide did, it was really nice. Sabrina was great as a guide. She's incredibly knowledgeable and even had some activities ( a test!) on the day we drove out to the Uco Valley. We really enjoyed our days with her. Can't recommend SAK enough, we loved it all.

          Knowledgeable & Friendly Guide
          We were lucky to use Sak Wine & Travel for our transfers and both of our excursions in Mendoza. Our guide and driver for our stay was Damian. Damian was very friendly and always on time. His knowledge of the Mendoza region was great, we learnt so much whilst driving around. The excursions we did were Wineries with lunch in Luján de Cuyo and High Andes with trekking - highly recommend both.

          Family vineyard trip
          Flawless planning and excellent execution! Our family of five asked for a 4 day personalized tour of vineyards, some of which included lunch and or dinner. Nicolas plan planned it beautifully, Cecilia, our guide and Sergio, our driver, implemented a wonderful execution. From snacks, conversation, local knowledge and more, our trip delivered above our expectation. None of us, will ever forget them for proving us with a delightful experience. Highly recommend this team!

          Cecelia, our drivers and the crew at SAK Wine and Travel took great care of us and were very thoughtful about ensuring our transfers and transportation were on time. They also accommodated extra activities at short notice with ease. Thank you.

          So easy to work with
          Had such a good experience on the first day's prearranged tour that I booked a second day myself. Both women had excellent English, but more than that both were delightful to spend the day with! Oh and wine, food, scenery, and wineries were pretty great too.

          Reliable Mendoza vine tours organizer
          They organized three full three wine tours for us, in three different valleys around Mendoza. All of them were well organized, everything on time, and with excellent suggestions for Wine and food paring (lunches). Guides were quality, good English spiking and helpful. We can recommend to engage sak Wine & Travel for your individual vine tours. .

          Patagonia dream ...
          Giulia Raciti owner of the blog viaggiare low cost made me in contact with this agency. Nicolas and Pablo organised my trip in Patagonia as I wanted it to be. They organised transfer, accommodations, tour and anytime that I needed something they where available to help me. Also Nicolas helped me to keep going my trip in north Argentina with very good suggestions. I recommend Sak wine & travel to travel around Argentina.. They can arrange your trip as you would like it to be. I am glad that I chose them to make my Patagonia dream came true Thank you so much Chiara :)

          Very good experience
          We used SAK over the course of four days for travel to and from the Mendoza airport and for a wine tour and high country tour. The pickup and drop-off at the airport were timely, easy, and efficient. The driver met us with a sign and we safely drove us to the hotel, communicating local landmarks and potential dining options in understandable, though sometimes broken, English. The wine tour was a great experience. We were picked up by the same driver and a guide and taken about forty five minutes to two wineries Mendel and Vista Alba. The wineries will be reviewed separately, but both were wonderful. In short Vista Alba has a scenic view and beautiful presentation in the underground tasting room. Mendel winery explained the Malbec vines and showed the combination of vintage and modern techniques combined in their facilities. The SAK guide gave us a brief history of Mendoza, pointed out sites along the drive, and talked a little about the history of the wineries. Once at the vineyards, he effectively handed us off to the winery personnel. The service was very good, but we were left wondering why we needed both the driver and guide, when the driver could have just as easily covered the minimal duties of the guide. The high country mountain tour was not worth the price. In SAK's defense, the weather in the mountains was lousy and the tunnel with Chile was closed. However, the weather in Mendoza and for the majority of the drive was gorgeous. We were picked up, again with the same driver and guide we established a relationship with the day prior. We drove an hour to the reservoir with good views of clean water, high dirt mountains, and grass. It was not jaw dropping though, even viewed on a perfect day. We drove another hour and stopped for coffee at a crowded hotel and diner, and paid 80 pesos for about 6oz each of lukewarm coffee and milk. We then continued another hour to see the Inca bridge, which was very unique, but hardly worth three hours of driving, at least for us. The weather was bad enough we could not go to the base of the Andes, though we were able to see the mountains. Another three hour drive back totaled about seven hours for our tour with less than an hour of actually being outside the vehicle. The guide kept up modest small talk and some quick tales and explanations. At every stop there were tour buses which are a better value, allow for better sight seeing compared to an old sedan, and from what other travelers told me, contained much more informative guides. Overall the service was very good, but we did not feel that the high country tour was worth the time or cost compared to a cheaper alternative or spending a day around Mendoza. If you want an actual experience of the mountains, there's a ton of travel agencies who specialize in hiking tours.

          The best winery tour in the whole world. Seriously. PABLO!!!
          If you are like us and are trying to figure out what the best winery tour in Mendoza is, you've found it. I don't know how this isn't #1 yet. It is to us!!! To begin with, Pablo and Nicolas were incredible! I can't recommend SAK Tours enough. It was a good value for the price, and although not cheap, not as expensive as some others. Even though it was short notice (a day before!), the communication with Nicolas was great - very prompt and courteous with thorough explanations of the details every time we emailed. In fact, it was this early communication that helped us decide between the five companies we were debating! Keep it up! The day of the booking, things were even better. Our driver and guide were exactly on time. Both were super nice and professional, and our guide Pablo went above and beyond everything we wanted and expected. He was friendly, enthusiastic, and SO likeable! Honestly, we can't say enough about Pablo. He was helpful and funny and we absolutely adored him. His English was great and he was just a genuinely lovely guy. You would be lucky to meet him and enjoy his company throughout this perfectly executed tour. We got a great variety of bodegas: we visited Pulenta, La Azul, and Andeluna. Pulenta was very impressive and informative, Andeluna had beautiful scenery, and La Azul was hands down our favourite. We had lunch there, and it was a very small family owned boutique winery. The food was unreal, the wines were great (and affordable), and the service was totally topnotch. SAK did a great job of picking bodegas for us, and could easily personalize it even further if you knew what you wanted more than we did (we were kind of clueless beyond wanting to see "Uco Valley" ;)) Everything went off without a hitch and our (air conditioned) van had tons of room and was always ready and on time. Seriously, everything was perfect. Don't hesitate! If you have been looking for a tour and want great communication and the best guide ever, this is the one for you. We couldn't be happier. Thanks a million to Pablo and Nicolas!

        The rigged scenery and views were amazing, and the drive into the hike was one of the most picturesque I’ve ever seen. The hike itself is not difficult at about 2.5km each way.

        Our guide (Pablo) was a tremendous host, very thoughtful to our needs, and the pace to which we wanted to travel, hike, stop for pictures, food, etc. While incredibly experienced he was also humble and also very patient with us. Can’t say enough about our guide and the great service we received from SAK. We also used them for a wine tour, which was also spectacular.
