  We were able to see many of Argentina's highlights with this tour. Every stop on this tour is spectacular and very memorable. It is a shared service so all tours were in Spanish and English. The guides were excellent, but had to juggle both languages for the guests. Even though this tour was pieced together to accommodate what we wanted to see, everything worked and we were always notified of when our transfers would be, scheduled tours would be taking place, and drivers were always waiting. Very good attention to details. This company went above and beyond when my husband's cell phone fell out of his pocket in the van on an early morning transfer. I thought it would be lost, but the driver found it, the company arranged for it to be taken to Buenos Aires and the next driver delivered it!! Now that is service!!

  Overall, the tour was great and I would highly recommend to others. Regarding the trek to Fitz Roy: It was strenuous as expected and the evening should not have included a dinner meeting at 7:00 PM, which did not give time for return to hotel, shower and regroup for the following day. This night should have been a free night of choice with meals since the pay is out of the client pocket. I did end up eating with a few others who chose not to dine at the meeting time since we showed up at the restaurant later than expected due to details above. There was no seating, which was fine, and we were on our own. Joaquin sensed this and joined us after he dined with the others who made the eating time. Poles should be used on day one of the hike and were not recommended. The first hike is a hike but the second choice is choice and should be noted that poles should be used due to the nature of technical skills and fixed ropes. Regular trekking boots should be worn on day 4 of the visit to the glaciers due to steps as visit sites. Regular tennis shoes were recommended and I am glad that I used boots. The weather was cold and windy and boots are comfortable for this day. An amount for tipping was advised but did not realize the number of different guides used during the tour e.g. van rides with tutorials, rafting. Joaquin's role as organizer was different than the daily guide use and should be noted. I would have budgeted amounts appropriately with this information.

  Please keep in mind this is just MY experience on the tour, and I'm sure everyone's is different and unique. I was very thankful that We the People was open to feedback after the tour and that they will continue to improve future trips. Thanks! 1. Communication: The communication with Eve from We the People was great. She was very quick at responding to my requests before the tour started, and even offered for the trip to start for me in Chalten instead of Calafate since I was the only one on the itinerary and she knew I would coming from Chalten. The frustrating part is that I was not notified until a couple weeks before the trip that I was the ONLY one on my itinerary. 2. Activities: Though it was a 7 day tour, there were only 3 half-day activities organized through the tour. The tours themselves were good and the guides were good. Perito Moreno Glacier- this was a little disappointing for two reasons. EVERY other person on my bus (about 40 people) had the boat ride included in their fare, but I was the only one who would have to pay extra if I wanted it. For the price paid for the tour, I would think the boat ride should be included. Also, I was told when I booked the tour that I could add mini-trekking as an optional activity for this day. When I asked the tour operator the night before, I was told that I was not able to add the activity. We the People explained to me (in a What's App message) that they are still new at organizing these tours and probably had given me inaccurate information. This was frustrating because I did not have additional days allotted where I could have booked this activity on my own, so I did not get to do it. I do hope this gets improved for future trips. Lago del Desierto- while this tour was "guided," we were left alone to complete the hike to the glacier. I completed this hike alone and the conditions at the top were VERY windy. Would definitely be better if there were other people in my We the People group. One of the main attractions of Patagonia/EL Chalten is the Fitz Roy trek, and I didn't really feel like the itinerary allowed time for this. You need an entire day for this trek and need to start early in the morning, and the tour just isn't designed that way. 3. Lodging: The hostels booked were as good as I could expected. No complaints with the lodging. I booked the "cheaper" option for this trip so I knew I would be in shared accommodations. 4: Guide: As a solo traveler, I feel much more comfortable with an assigned tour guide (and usually other travelers as well). There is no "dedicated guide" for the duration of the trip. For my experience, I only got guides on the day trips and it was the guide that I would have gotten had I booked those activities independently. When I asked We the People about this, they said they only provide a group tour guide if there are more then 4 people on the trip, but that the tour guide only organizes activities and does not offer advice or guidance. This is clearly listed on their tour page, but I didn't know I was the only one on the tour until a few weeks before so it was a little tougher on my own. 5: Transportation: Transportation was good and I have no complaints here. 6: Overall Experience: I felt like it was more of a "partially guided" tour and felt the price was a bit much for what was included. I always justify the cost of a fully guided group tour by knowing that part of my cost is going to pay a tour guide and I will get that one-on-one attention. The experience might be different with more people on the itinerary.
