Tour in Alta Montaña
This was an amazing experience. The guide told us stories about the places we visited and also give us enough time to explore them.

Safe for celiacs!
Incredible, once-in-a-lifetime scenery! Our guide, Facundo, made sure to include me and my partner (we only speak English) even though we were the only non-Spanish speakers. We stopped for breakfast and lunch and I got food to eat everywhere as a celiac.

Gorgeous Autumn Tour of the Andes
This was an incredible tour of the Andes during the fall here in Argentina. We were picked up at our chosen location in a very comfortable van. The guide, Alejandro, gave the explanations about each stop as well as the history of sites that we passed along the way in both Spanish and English (my colleague and I were the only ones who requested English). We had enough time at each stop to take pictures and browse the market stalls for local artisans and vendors if we wanted. The lunch location was fine although not the best quality - we brought snacks with us but still ended up getting the semi-buffet lunch (this was completely optional and not officially part of the tour). Overall, we highly enjoyed this tour, and our guide was fantastic. Highly recommended!

Great experience, worth every penny
Great tour, highly recommend it. The guide was great, the stops were fun, educational, and gorgeous. Very well priced for how long the tour is as well. No problems throughout the tour, plus they will pick you up from your hotel if you’re within a certain perimeter in Mendoza.

High Mountains Tour, Entertaining and Educational
We had a tremendous experience in the High Mountains Tour. Aída was the consummate guide, sharing her knowledge of the area as well as many historic references. Fluently in both Spanish and English, she richly described the countryside and specific points of interest. Ariel was a phenomenal driver, negotiating roads with ease and aplomb. I would highly recommend joining Aida and Ariel for a memorable trip.

Andes High Mountain full day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.
How much does Andes High Mountain full day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mendoza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Andes High Mountain full day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Mendoza is not rushed.
Is Andes High Mountain full day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 485 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Mendoza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Andes High Mountain full day Tour?
+
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 Andes High Mountain full day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Andes High Mountain full day Tour?
+
Around 170 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 Mendoza 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 Mendoza and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Andes High Mountain full day Tour 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 Mendoza 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 Mendoza?
+
On Outty we rank every Mendoza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include High Mountain, Aconcagua and Inca Bridge, Horseback riding and roast in the mountains of Mendoza, Private Tour in Luján de Cuyo. 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 Mendoza?
+
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 Mendoza?
+
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.
