A great group tour, fun guide, correct stops

It was very well...
It was very well organised. The tour lady provided me with personal translation as I was the only person on the trip that didn’t speak Spanish.

Very comfortable the...
The minibus was very comfortable, the driver was very responsible and experienced. We had Germán as our guide, excellent.

it's worth it for the scenery
The landscape is too beautiful, the guide and driver were polite, but Mendoza Viajes, in the 2 tours I took, are not punctual. The second negative point is that they don't describe where we are going to stop, they warn to buy clothes for the snow because we will get our pants wet, which is not true, only boots are necessary if you are well dressed. The lunch was terrible, and one of the stops was to sell very poor quality wine and chocolate. Could you shorten the tour by removing the shopping stops?

Terrible experience, not worth it.
Despite the guide being extremely nice, she took us to rent snow clothes in the worst possible place, very bad clothes, looking like old people, we looked like snack delivery guys, the place was VERY BAD, REALLY VERY BAD. There were other stores with much better clothes and materials, but this one we went to was undoubtedly the worst, a terrible experience, besides being extremely expensive, absurdly expensive for a low-quality material. Furthermore, the food they served was of very poor quality; we saw it from the customers' expressions, so we opted not to eat. Regarding the snow location, we took longer to arrive, choose, and pay dearly for a horrible outfit to stay at the event location, we were there for a maximum of an hour and the guide was already calling to leave, meaning it was terrible. Note 1, I'm still being generous, what saved it was the bus driver who was very cool.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
High Mountain from Mendoza: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.
How much does High Mountain from Mendoza cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 High Mountain from Mendoza take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 High Mountain from Mendoza worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mendoza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule High Mountain from Mendoza?
+
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 High Mountain from Mendoza suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book High Mountain from Mendoza?
+
Around 7 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does High Mountain from Mendoza 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, Andes High Mountain full day Tour, Horseback riding and roast in the mountains of Mendoza. 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.

What languages is High Mountain from Mendoza offered in?
+

+
