    Highly recommended

    A very interesting guided walk through Bariloche and its history. Especially as a guide knows a lot, transmits it very well and the tour is full of curious information about the city. Highly recommended.

    Guide monologue

    I didn't like it, I didn't get anything. A cold afternoon, an endless monologue of old stories, which I can't be sure if they were true. It is more useful information for the newcomer where the main attractions are.

    Free Walking Tour Bariloche, not so good.

    I made contact with the agency "Grupo Vision" to participate with my wife of the free walking tour of "Bariloche" with the Silvina Guide. We had a very good tour and learned a lot about the city and its history. It was nice, pleasant and fun. But there are some negative points to highlight. At the beginning the guide spoke of about 10000 pesos which was what she hoped to get at the end of the two-hour tour, when clearly this tour is supposed to be a FREE WALKING TOUR. It is known that this modality in many cities around the world does not present a cost. They are free (and each person can give the guide at the end of the ride, if they choose, the amount they want). He even thought very badly about a well-known, beautiful and nearby tourist destination in Bariloche hours. Wanting to extol the superiority of it. At the end of the tour my wife went to give money with very good intention to the guide, and she rejected it outright, in sound of mockery and ridicule, alluding that she expected a more worthy amount, and to keep it in her office. This in front of other people. Each person has an economic reality, and gives according to his possibilities, whether local or from another country. It is not good that tourism professionals speak and act with such disrespect. I managed to read the many positive reviews also of this same tour, by the company "Civitatis" in Bariloche. I even read the negative opinions of Argentines and Foreigners, who were not far behind. It is no coincidence that most of us agree with our experience, especially at the end of the tour, since others went through the same thing. Both agencies promoting this Tour know about this situation, but they are not interested in attending to this issue and improving it, achieving better quality. Hopefully all this told here from this experience is useful to know the good and the bad.

    Discovering Bariloche: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bariloche.

    How much does Discovering Bariloche cost?

    +

    Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bariloche usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Discovering Bariloche take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Bariloche is not rushed.

    Is Discovering Bariloche worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bariloche, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Discovering Bariloche?

    +

    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 Discovering Bariloche suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Discovering Bariloche?

    +

    Around 3 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 Bariloche 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 Bariloche and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Discovering Bariloche 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 Bariloche 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 Bariloche?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bariloche experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Trekking day in the mountains close to Bariloche, Fly Fishing Bariloche, Fly Fishing Trips in Bariloche. 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 Bariloche?

    +

    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?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Discovering Bariloche?

    +

    Included: Guides. Not included: Drinks or Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Discovering Bariloche?

    +

    Easy meeting point, in our offices on Calle San Martín 398, a few meters from the Edelweiss, Panamericano, Hampton hotels and the Casino Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Discovering Bariloche offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discovering Bariloche?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Discovering Bariloche if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
