The beginning... bamba started operating with a hop-on hop-off bus service. After trial and error, bamba realised that travellers were very interested in not only being around other backpackers and meeting them, but they also wanted to have the opportunity to travel in local transportation, and...

- TFTamara· March 19th, 2017We booked a Bamba Experience tour through Tour Radar for 5 days 4 nights in Patagonia. My experience has been absolutely terrible to say the least. I would not recommend or do another tour through this agency and strongly advise you consider the following: 1. Failed to pick us up from the airport. We arrived with email confirmation that the transfers were arranged and the booking confirmed however on arrival no one was waiting. We waited for 2 HOURS! We proceeded to call, online message and email to work out what happened and was told we had failed to provide our passport numbers and as such the tour was not confirmed. At no stage was I advised this was required prior and understood an email saying it was confirmed would be sufficient...Apparently not. We ended up paying AUD$50 to get to our hotel, which we were assured would be reimbursed but has not. 2. Bamba does not have anything to do with the "tours". So we soon discovered Bamba does not operate in Patagonia. Instead they employ an agency in Buenos Aires - Hi Travel, to then contact a local provider - Always Glaciers, to undertake the actual tour. So basically you are paying three different agencies and commissions to undertake what you could organise on your own (which we basically ended up doing anyway). 3. The itinerary is rubbish. Of the 5 days we stayed only 2 were day tours in the area, one to the Perito Moreno glacier and the other to Torres Del Paine. The rest of the time is free to explore El Calafate, which is pretty dull to be honest. Instead we extended out Torres Del Paine day tour over two days (for and additional cost of $400USD!). I could continue but I think you get the idea. Our aim was to pay an agency to plan our trip to Patagonia given our short stay but we ended up stressed, out of pocket and incredibly disappointed. My advice is to organise the trips or tours you want to do with local providers directly and forget Bamba altogether. By the way Bamba, I'm still waiting on my call from your so called "Happiness Manager".Show moreBamba Travel commented on this reviewHi Tamara. We are deeply sorry to hear your experience with us.
