The tour guide was really...
The tour guide was really nice and made the experience even better, they were on time for pick up and drop offs after the excursion. The spots were amazing and the food was great, we did some shopping at the different places and it wasn’t expensive, very good price and quality. I would definitely recommend this activity

Memorable for good reasons
Fantastic scenery & my favourite part of our trip to Argentina. Fabio is a bit full on but entertaining and knowledgeable.

Outstanding

Essential tour!
We loved this tour, Fabio was so full of energy and knowledge and was very funny too. We did the add-on side trip to the 14 Hornocal 14 colour mountains which was a real highlight though an additional cost. Llama lunch with potatoes cooked by Fabio was good. I took a crazy number of photos. It was a long day (12 hours) but we didn't get bored.
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por todo, saludos !

Disappointing
We were promised an English speaking guide but did not get one. I'm sure the Spanish speakers had a good tour because she would speak for about 5 minutes in Spanish and then say 1 or 2 sentences in broken English. We actually had other tourists on the tour trying to translate for her. When we had paid for an English speaking tour this was not ok. Also the company did not warn us about Carnival - we were stuck in traffic for 7 Hours and they decided to skip the first few stops to save time, so our first stop was a restaurant in humahuaca that they clearly get commission for bringing tourists to (there are many nicer restaurants in town). All of the main sights in the towns we visited were closed due to carnival and there were crowds roaming the streets spraying people with paint and shaving foam - had not prepared for this as we were not warned. Really, they should not have run the tour on this day, or at least informed customers that there would be disruptions so that we can make an informed decision
Response from the operator: Lamentamos lo sucedido, seguiremos trabajando para mejorar día a día !

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Salta: Full-Day Tour to Humahuaca, Purmamarca and Tilcara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salta.
How much does From Salta: Full-Day Tour to Humahuaca, Purmamarca and Tilcara cost?
+
Prices start at $34 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Salta: Full-Day Tour to Humahuaca, Purmamarca and Tilcara take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Salta is not rushed.
Is From Salta: Full-Day Tour to Humahuaca, Purmamarca and Tilcara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 54 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Salta: Full-Day Tour to Humahuaca, Purmamarca and Tilcara?
+
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 From Salta: Full-Day Tour to Humahuaca, Purmamarca and Tilcara suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Salta: Full-Day Tour to Humahuaca, Purmamarca and Tilcara?
+
Around 19 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 Salta 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 Salta and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Salta: Full-Day Tour to Humahuaca, Purmamarca and Tilcara 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 Salta 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 Salta?
+
On Outty we rank every Salta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Cafayate from Salta, Tour to Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca, Tour to Cachi from Salta. 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 Salta?
+
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 Salta?
+
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.
