We had 3 tours in 3 days from Salta. All of the visitor attractions are so far from Salta that you have to travel 3-4 hours in a minibus to reach them. Our Argentinian travel guide in the UK suggested staying in Purmamarca to avoid a 3 hour drive back to Salta and another 3 hour drive the next morning. This was good advice. The Purmamarca hotel was wonderful. However, the drivers from the company Tiamar were so bad. They ignored speed restrictions, they ignored the double yellow lines in the middle of the road, they took risks when overtaking, they ignored loose animals at the side of the road including very young calves and goats. The trip with wine to Cafayate was not good. If they stopped at the amphitheater and turned around nothing would be missed. The wine tasting is terrible. The gorge is beautiful but there is no point in going on to Cafayate. Turning at the amphitheater would mean that they could drive at normal speeds and not make the passengers sick. On our drive to the salt lakes we had 3.5 hours before there was a toilet break. One passenger had to ask to stop and he had to relieve himself in full view of all of the road traffic. The women on the bus also wanted to go to the toilet but there was no possibility of them relieving themselves in the same way. We drove for 7 hours without food on the salt lake tour. The minibuses have two seats on the back row with no view. If you are unlucky to be the last hotel pick up then you will have these seats for 11 or 12 hours. Every passenger who was allocated these seats was unhappy. These seats should be sold at a discount as you cannot see anything from them. I had to spend 11 hours in one of them yesterday. If I had been last to be picked up this morning I would be phoning the company to ask for a refund. I have friends who have booked a trip to Salta. I will be advising them not to go in a minibus. These trips are uncomfortable and dangerous because of the driver behaviour.

Jasmin is wonderful, she helped us in explaining all attractions in English, even helped us order food in the restaurant . The driver is excellent too, stoped at multiple places for us to take photos

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.

The tour was very well organizef. Our guide (Angi) was very kind, knew a lot of things and funny as well! She and the driver Juan made sure that everybody felt safe and welcome. After an hour drive we stopped at a few famous spots and had enough time to take a picutre or buy a souvenir. After that, we had the chance to try 3 different wines. They were good too. Sadly, we couldn't try white wine, for which the region is famous for. In Cafayate we had two hours for ourselves which is enough to eat something and drink a coffee. On our way back we stopped at different spots and we were back on time. It was a really nice day and the landscape is so worth seeing it.

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.

Our tour guide Angie and driver Mauricio were phenomenal. She in particular brought a native instrument to play and a Salta poncho and explained in details all about them. Very knowledgeable of the area. She also gave tips regarding the “Peña’s” Salta local restaurants were locals play music and how to avoid tourist traps.

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 trip did not happen. The company that I booked with phoned me at 9:30pm to tell me that the trip was cancelled after I had a confirmed booking. Too late to book anything else. A wasted day in Salta.

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.
