    excellent private tour

    I fulfilled my dream of knowing the Perito Moreno Glacier and Fitz Roy Hill. Thanks to this private tour I could have the time to take pictures of the place quiet and without rush. I decided not to hire a massive tour and it was the best decision to find Augustine, a great companion of this adventure.

    Response from the operator: Te agradecemos por compartir tu experiencia en la Patagonia! Saludos

    Great trip to Calafate

    From the moment we were picked up at the airport till the last day of the tour everything was great. Santiago waited for us at the airport and took us to our hotel. He was friendly and nice. Blas took us to Perito Moreno. He's very friend, pleasant and knowledgeable of the area. We felt very comfortable with him. Our trip to El Chalten was done with Augustine who was kind, knowledgeable and accommodative to our needs. They were all very punctual, their cars were clean and comfortable. Thank you very much. We recommend them fully. Vickie and Morris

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the tour with our drivers. Thank you for choosing us and trusting us. Have a great trip! Best regards.

    Essential Patagonia : Private Tour Perito Moreno Glacier + Chaltén: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Essential Patagonia : Private Tour Perito Moreno Glacier + Chaltén cost?

    +

    Prices start at $850 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 Essential Patagonia : Private Tour Perito Moreno Glacier + Chaltén take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Essential Patagonia : Private Tour Perito Moreno Glacier + Chaltén worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 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 Essential Patagonia : Private Tour Perito Moreno Glacier + Chaltén?

    +

    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 Essential Patagonia : Private Tour Perito Moreno Glacier + Chaltén suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Essential Patagonia : Private Tour Perito Moreno Glacier + Chaltén?

    +

    Around 11 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Essential Patagonia : Private Tour Perito Moreno Glacier + Chaltén 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.
