Tuvimos la posibilidad de coincidir con esta agencia para realizar nuestras excursiones en Ushuaia y estamos más que contentos. La primera de ellas fue el Parque Nacional + Tren y la atención y visita guiada de Jaqueline fue excelente. Luego fuimos a la excursión de pingüinera y si bien es con otra agencia, de igual forma estuvo genial La que más disfrutamos fue la de Lago Fagnano y Escondido en 4x4. Guillermo nos acompañó desde el minuto uno con mucha empatía, respeto y sentido del humor...

We booked this tour months before our arrival in Ushuaia. Their communications are clear and timely. We were picked up from our hotel on time. The bus was comfotable and safe. Our guide, Elieen, was excellent. She is pleasent and knowledgeable. She shared a lot of information about history and culture. We were dropped off at the train station. Eileen helped us with our train ticckets and made sure we were in line for boarding. The scenery along the train route was awesome...

Mis papás fueron a Ushuaia 1 semana y quise darles la sorpresa de ir sin avisarles, por lo que contraté la excursión 4x4 (de las mejores) y darles la sorpresa al pasarlos a buscar. La agencia atendió a mí solicitud , les expliqué que iba a ser una sorpresa a mí familia y les pedí que pasaran por mí a mí alojamiento primero y luego buscar a mis padres. Cumplieron con excelencia , fueron de gran ayuda y cómplices de mí sorpresa...

Agradable paseo en catamarán por el canal beagle con paradas en el faro y la isla de pingüinos de Martillo. Este viaje es agradable y vale la pena si te gustan los faros y los pingüinos. El catamarán se acerca a los lugares de interés, y pasa mucho tiempo allí para permitir a los turistas obtener sus fotos. Vimos 3 tipos de pingüinos: Magallanes, Gentoo y un pingüino rey. Hay una cafetería a un precio razonable que sirve bebidas, sándwiches, galletas y aperitivos...
