Visit to the glacier on a fine day
We started in the morning and fortunately the day was very clear. We really enjoyed the glaciers. So beautiful and the guide was very knowledgeable. We also took a boat ride and that was a great experience too as we went very close to the glacier and a few iceberg. Over all it was amazing
Response from the operator: Hello Nadarajah, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear you were fortunate to enjoy such clear weather, allowing you to fully appreciate the beauty of Perito Moreno Glacier. It is wonderful to know the guiding enriched your visit and that the boat navigation gave you the opportunity to admire the glacier and the icebergs from such a close perspective. Experiences like these truly make for unforgettable memories. We sincerely appreciate your kind feedback and are glad you had such an amazing day. Kind regards

Zen experience at Perito Moreno Glacier
I spent a perfect day to and from and at the Perito Moreno Glacier. There is nothing that would have made the experience any better. I learned much, I saw every aspect of the glacier, enjoyed the ride and views to and from El Calafate, and experienced the beauty, the changing nature, and the awe of the glacier. It was a Zen moment as we listened to the crackling of the glacier, saw the slippage, observed the rippling effect. The driver and guide were the best! I fulfilled a dream.
Response from the operator: Hello, debrasZ6195HL! Thanks for your review! It is as pleasure for us to hear that this experience was amazing and you were able to learn things! We always strive to offer the most memorable experiences to our passengers. Your opinion helps us to keep improving our services. We can't wait to see you on your next trip! Warm regards, Cecilia.

A phenomenal visit to the glacier
Phenomenal tour! A must see in Argentina. We had a great experience with this tour company from the time we booked this tour; they have been very prompt in their responses to the queries about the excursion. We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Ms. Solo. She was very knowledgeable about the history and shared all the information about the Perito Moreno glacier and flora and fauna in the region. Highly recommend this tour. We travelled as a family so the private tour gave us flexibility, comfort and convenience

Fantastic day, amazing scenery
Fantastic tour. Our guide, Veronica and driver, Anna, were fabulous - upbeat, friendly, informative. The tour was a private tour, and they were very accommodating to our requests. The scenery around Perito Moreno is stunning. Highly recommend the boat ride to the edge of the glacier. We did this prior to going to the viewing platforms. Overall, an amazing day

Great private tour
Excellent tour! We had great views from the boat and walkways of the Perito Moreno Glaciar. Our guide, Julieta, was fantastic and highly informative. Her love for the parks is apparent. Highly recommend!

Private Full-Day Tour to Perito Moreno Glacier Ideal for Families: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.
How much does Private Full-Day Tour to Perito Moreno Glacier Ideal for Families cost?
+

How long does Private Full-Day Tour to Perito Moreno Glacier Ideal for Families take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Private Full-Day Tour to Perito Moreno Glacier Ideal for Families worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 10 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.

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full-Day Tour to Perito Moreno Glacier Ideal for Families?
+
Around 4 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

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.
