The tour was a very good introduction to the highlights of Patagonia. The excursions were excellent with knowledgable English speaking guides and hard working drivers. Hotels were comfortable and good quality. Transfers were efficient and on time.

Amazing trip! Eve was on every detail of the trip and she even helped us to book the domestic flights needed for the trip. In my opinion El Calafate is a destination that everyone should visit in Argentina and the visit to Perito Moreno Glacier, the guide Paula was very knowledge and extremely experience and the full day to Torres del Paine is a great option if you don't have many days to stay inside the national park. The hotels selected by People Travel were incredible, specially Altiplanic Hotel at Puerto Natales, unspechless.

Altought we would have preferred to travel in the summer season due to the weather, everything was amazing. El Calafate has plenty of options to do and Perito Moreno Glacier was absolutely incredible and Torres del Paine in Chile really worth the visit! Both were very nice destinations. Mercedes was so kind and took care of flight changes in our arrival. Thank you!
