Bad tour and bad guide
Everything was bad from the beginning! We got scam, 3 hours line in cerro catedral, the guide was not capable of dealing with all the passenger.
Response from the operator: Lamentamos leer tu comentario; sin embargo, tras revisar detenidamente el registro de nuestros servicios e itinerarios, consideramos que pudo haber habido una confusión de agencia o de excursión. El servicio contratado fue Circuito Chico, un recorrido panorámico que incluye puntos como y no contempla ninguna parada en Cerro Catedral. Además, en los registros del guía y chofer del día de tu viaje no se realizó dicha visita. En Cumbre Patagónica nos tomamos muy en serio la precisión y calidad de nuestros tours. Te invitamos a comunicarte con nosotros por privado para ayudarte a verificar la información. Saludos cordiales

Disappointing tour and not worth it
This tour fell below our expectations compared to other Viator experiences. The guide’s English was difficult to understand, and the information provided was minimal—no more than what you’d find in a guidebook. We anticipated some walking through Nahuel Huapi National Park but were instead driven to a few vantage points for quick photo stops. If you have a car, you could easily visit these same spots on your own. There was little historical context or meaningful insights about Bariloche making the tour feel unmemorable. Overall, it wasn’t worth the cost.
Response from the operator: Hello Romina! We're sorry you didn't have a good experience. We wish you hadn't mentioned it when you did so we could offer some compensation, especially because of the English language issue. We'll take your comments into account to improve our service. Thank you very much.

Very good guide and beautiful scenery
It was a beautiful experience, the guide was very friendly and knew quite a lot about the place, plus the views were breathtaking.

No English guide
The tour was advertised as with an English guide. Unfortunately, the guide, whilst quite charming, did not speak a word of English. Fortunately, another person on the tour, a Mexican doctor translated for me otherwise I would have been left quite in the dark. The tour itself was lovely, stunning views and worth doing. just make sure you get an English guide.
Response from the operator: Good morning, we apologize for what happened, the excursion is with an audio guide in English, not an English guide, we will take into account what happened so that it is clarified in a better way and it does not happen again

+

How far in advance should I book Bariloche: Chico Circuit and Cerro Campanario half day?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

What should I bring or wear?

+
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 Bariloche?
+
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?
+
