4.8 rather than a 5
Overall, I gave the tour a rating of 5 but it isnt perfect. Some hotels were excellent, others were a little less so. All the tour operators and guides were Amazing. The biggest thing you should know when booking this tour is it isn't really one (1) tour, its about 6-7. And in many cases you are on your own to get to the place to be picked up...like the bus station where you travel between cities. This was a surprise to me. Maybe i didn't read the instructions well enough. This made the trip a little more intimidating, but it worked out and we don't regret taking it. If I had a chance to rate them differently it would be a 4.8.
Response from the operator: Hi David, Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We are glad to hear that overall you enjoyed the experience and that the local operators and guides made a positive impression throughout your journey. We appreciate you highlighting the point about the trip structure. As detailed in the itinerary, this is a multi-destination program made up of several coordinated services, and in some cases travelers move independently between cities in order to keep the itinerary flexible and efficient. Your comments are very valuable and help us continue improving how we communicate these details in advance. Warm regards

Incredible adventure
This was an amazing experience. The itinerary was fantastic and includes some incredible experiences in Patagonia. It is a good mix of free time and organised tours. I would highly recommend this trip.

Not worth
This 13-day package, there’re about 6 days on your own or the travel agent arranged you on local bus from city to city, no pick up from accommodation and bus stop, all on your own expenses. If you are on transfer from city to city and that count one day of package. Accommodations on this package were cheap arranged, no starts hotel, far from the “town”. Very inconvenient. I will not recommend any tours, packages that offer/arrange by Say Hueque travel agent based in Buenos Aires Argentina,
via Tripadvisor
Travel agent priced on this package way too much
13 days, there’re many days, transfer hotel to bus station, meeting point on your own, meaning need to pay from what you had paid advance. Hotels are small and cheap. Not worth it at all. There’re many improvements those travel agents need to put effort.

Excellent service from Maria
Found this company from Travel Local. They adapted tours to fit our requirements and their advisor Maria was really able to understand what we wanted. Excellent service and a very good trip.
Response from the operator: Dear Jim We are happy to hear that we met your expectations! Thanks for taking some time to share your experience with us. We hope you'll keep us mind for future adventures in South America. Kindest regards, Cecilia

13-Day Best of Patagonia Tour from El Calafate to Ushuaia: Los Glaciares, Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego National Parks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.
How much does 13-Day Best of Patagonia Tour from El Calafate to Ushuaia: Los Glaciares, Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego National Parks cost?
+
Prices start at $2,405 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in El Calafate usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 13-Day Best of Patagonia Tour from El Calafate to Ushuaia: Los Glaciares, Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego National Parks take?
+
Plan for about 312 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in El Calafate is not rushed.
Is 13-Day Best of Patagonia Tour from El Calafate to Ushuaia: Los Glaciares, Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego National Parks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in El Calafate, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 13-Day Best of Patagonia Tour from El Calafate to Ushuaia: Los Glaciares, Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego National Parks?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 13-Day Best of Patagonia Tour from El Calafate to Ushuaia: Los Glaciares, Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego National Parks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 312-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 13-Day Best of Patagonia Tour from El Calafate to Ushuaia: Los Glaciares, Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego National Parks?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in El Calafate can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in El Calafate and add a light layer if any part of the 312-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 13-Day Best of Patagonia Tour from El Calafate to Ushuaia: Los Glaciares, Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego National Parks start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central El Calafate within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in El Calafate?
+
On Outty we rank every El Calafate experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kayak Full-Day Activity in La Leona River from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier with Navigation from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with Optional Boat Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit El Calafate?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in El Calafate?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
