    The tour was more than we expected, highly recommended the agency Vempra Turismo, 10 out of 10.

    Our experience was beautiful; we went to high mountains, the guide, a genius named GERMAN, picked us up at the hotel, from Vempra Turismo.

    Response from the operator: Buen Día. Gracias por el comentario pero la excursión fue operada por la agencia Salvando las Distancias Viajes y Turismo. Debes tener en cuenta que existen agencias intermediarias (como la que menciona) que revenden excursiones. Nuestra agencia opera las excursiones que ofrece ya que cuenta con transportación propia. Saludos.

    Fantastic family experience.

    Very good experience. Facu our guide was very judicious in explaining each place and its anecdotes. He nurtured us with knowledge the whole trip. It made it interactive and very bearable. The tour is very nice.We were lucky enough to reach the Christ the Redeemer that separates Argentina and Chile at the top. It was a unique experience to be so many meters above sea level.We really understood why players prefer not to play at the height lol Super recommended from the start to the return.

    Response from the operator: Federico. Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Esperamos que pronto vuelvas a visitarnos!

    Super good experience

    The overall experience was wonderful, the guide was spectacular super prepared antonella, I was telling interesting things throughout. The only bad thing was the restaurant we went to in the end, quite expensive for what it offers, but it is optional, so if you do not want to eat there you do not have to, but there are no more options.

    Response from the operator: Luis. Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Esperamos que pronto vuelvas a visitarnos.

    Tour Alta Montaña Mendoza: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tour Alta Montaña Mendoza cost?

    +

    Prices start at $64 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 Tour Alta Montaña 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 Tour Alta Montaña Mendoza worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 20 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 Tour Alta Montaña 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 Tour Alta Montaña 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 Tour Alta Montaña 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 Tour Alta Montaña 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 is included in Tour Alta Montaña Mendoza?

    +

    Included: Traslado con paradas guiadas; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Tour Alta Montaña Mendoza include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 145 listed pickup locations in and around Mendoza. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Tour Alta Montaña Mendoza offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English 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 Tour Alta Montaña Mendoza?

    +

    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.
