Great tour, the Guide Leonard is amazing, informative, helpful and kind. It was planned very well, and the Driver's Eric and Leo did a great job. Highly recommend the tour.

About 45 minutes from Humahuaca up a fairly treacherous unpaved "road" the view is well worth the effort. You can get a hire up to the top, but it's a tough drive, we opted for the tour from Humahuaca with a guide and 4-wheel drive for Pesos 15k (about $15) and took 2 12 hours. There are a few local food stalls and a small artisan craft market. This is another must destination see in NW Argentina. The start point at Hunahuaca has a large artisan craft market and shows a typical view of rural Argentine life and is worth a stop too.

Whilst our guide was extremely enthusiastic, and I don’t feel good being negative about this trip, it was a small catalogue of minor disappointments. Initial communication was confused; having been advised that pickup times would be 0700-0745 we got a message the night before advising that it was going to be 0640. We specified that we required English, and whilst we had no issue listening to commentary delivery in Spanish first, it was increasingly annoying that the English translation was 1 minute’s worth for every 3 in Spanish. I didn’t feel that we were really getting the full story. The stop in Humahuaca was the longest, allowing us to find something to eat and relax in the local setting. In fact we got 2 hours rather than one since the local guide only spoke Spanish. On the positive side, we enjoyed our lunch of llama stew at one of the only outside tables overlooking the fake goods traders in the square. Purmamarca was mostly a shopping expedition since the viewing point was a little bit anticlimactic, and only took 10 minutes to enjoy. Tilcara was an enjoyable stop of around 45 minutes, where the quality of restaurants and goods in the shops was significantly better than at the other towns. Overall, if I had known that we’d be covering over 500km in order to see 3 towns with commentary largely in Spanish, I don’t think I’d have signed up.

The tour was disappointing. Despite the lead photo showing the Seven Color Hills, most of the day was spent stopping at shops. After 7 hours, we had a single 10 minute stop on the side of a highway to view the hills, obstructed by buildings and street lamps. One more shopping stop, then back home. Not what I expected. The bus was nice, however.

Nordic organized a wonderful excursion for us, we really enjoyed it! We left from Salta in the morning, a bus came to pick us up at the hotel at 7am and dropped us off at 6,30pm. Our tour guide Pablo was extremely nice, very knowledgable, very professional but also extremely caring (people sometimes get sick due to the altitude when going to the Salinas Grandes, so he was really looking after all of us). We stoped at a restaurant in Purmamarca for lunch which had a set pre-arranged price for a buffet, the food was good and the price was very fair (which is very appreciated because some tour companies sometimes take you to the more expensive restaurants). Driving around Jujuy, especially when going to the Salinas Grandes can be dangerous (quality of road and altitude sickness), so it is a good idea to do this with a tour operator. Before this excursion, my partner and I rented a car and spent 3 days driving South of Salta to Cafayate (Valles Calchaquies, Quebrada de las Conchas), we usually prefer driving ourselves to have a more intimate experience than joining a group. However, I think this excursion is best done through a tour operator.

We took this tour that lasted the whole day. We felt it was worth it as we had the opportunity to visit several villages along the way. They are villages surrounded by mountains and when you arrive you will notice that many have establishments specifically to sell souvenirs and gifts to tourists. On the one hand it was good because we stopped at several places and when we arrived at them they gave us the freedom to wander around a little. But on the other hand, because there were so many short stops (about 30 minutes), it meant that we didn't have time to do almost anything and we didn't really know what to do because we were afraid of going too far and being late getting back to the transport. Another positive point is the tour guide who told stories along the way. At the lunch stop, they took us to a specific restaurant along with the whole group. I paid around 12 thousand pesos for a dish with starter, main course and dessert. I purchased the tour on their website.

Had a lovely day visiting to the north of Salta with absolutely incredible views. The colored mountains were breathtaking. We enjoyed visiting the small towns that had such amazing culture. Language barrier is very difficult if you only speak English but everyone is so kind and willing to help. It’s a very long day but well worth it!

Don't join their tour if you don't want to loose your money. They believe they are doing very reasonable and correctly for not refund to customers for any tour canccellation. Don't trust them anymore. They can cancel the tour what they want without any responsibilities. Shame on them!!!!

Bad experience. They rearranged our tour and finally cancelled it WITHOUT any refund. They don't take any responsibility only earn money. The staff in the office is not well trained, they are not respectful and helpful. They only asked us to send email to contact their boss for the complaint and refund matters. One of them did not willing to tell her name which is ridiculous as a Customer Service staff. Overall not recommended, there should be a better choice in Town.

Don't trust this company. We booked this tour one day before and the staff confirmed and we paid. But they couldn't make it on the day we booked and rearranged another day. Finally they cancelled the tour WITHOUT any refund. They said the road is closed so the tour has been cancelled and it's not their responsibility. Does it mean it's the consumer 's responsibility so they take all the tour fees for arranging nothing ?! I wonder if is this normal in Argentina tourism industry? Additional information: Ridiculous attitude of the staff in their shop when we requested the refund. Staff in Customer service must be well trained for good.

We booked an excursion with them about 5 months in advance. 3 days before due to go, they contacted us and said cancelled. We then had the stress of finding another company to do the tour with. We had specifically flown to Salta to do this tour, to the coloured mountains and salt flats. They let us down badly.

The views were excellent, the tour bus was clean, and the stops were engaging. You don't get to spend a lot of time at each stop, but considering the distance that this tour takes you on, it makes sense - it was definitely a very full day. However, please note that this tour is NOT an "English" tour. The tour guide spoke Spanish, to a mostly Spanish-speaking tour group. She tried her best to describe what was going on / what we were seeing / explain what she shared with the group with us in English. This would have been **perfectly acceptable** had it been advertised as an English/Spanish tour - myself and my group were completely happy on other tours when this happened, as we had booked a Spanish/English tour. This tour was listed / marketed only as English, which it definitely was not.

Very good trip with Angie as our leader. She had excellent English and really made the trip interesting. The bus was very comfortable and we saw everything we were meant to see. Would thoroughly recommend this particular trip.

I am afraid the experience was really disappointing. We had booked this trip from the UK. On the day of the trip, no one arrived to pick us up from the hotel, even though I had confirmations. Trying to reach Trip advisor or Viator on the phone was very difficult and when I did get through there was no explanation. The trip was rebooked for the following day without any consultation with us and we had to react and change plans to accommodate. When the coach turned up it was really old, the microphone the guide was using didn’t work. Although the guide did speak English, 95% of the tour was conducted in Spanish. The tour was to see the coloured mountains but the trip we had been given didn’t include that element. We had to work really hard and pay extra to actually see the mountains, which was the purpose of the trip. Considering the price difference of booking a similar trip locally and the poor quality of our trip and poor service received from trip adviser and Viator, I would not recommend this to anyone. Really upset and disappointed.

We are English speakers (age 30s) who did the tour from Salta to Cafayate - the tour was great. We met at a designated point (about 6:30am) and travelled on a large tour bus (about 45 people). We were a little worried at the start, thinking that there was going to be no English (when the guide spent the first 20mins talking only in Spanish) but eventually Angie did speak in English. The bus was very comfortable and had enough leg room to still be comfortable even when the seat in front was reclined. There were curtains to block out the hot afternoon sun! The winery visit was good although only in Spanish but that didn’t change the taste of the wine! Cafayate itself is very nice and we had 2hrs to explore. The scenery is beautiful and the stops are good, between 10-20minutes at each. Only downside is travelling as such a big group - everyone has to take their turn for the best photo spots, some patience is required. Obviously group size can fluctuate. We got back to Salta around 7:15pm!
