Perhaps one of the more underrated tours you can take, run by a local company out of Salta. A really personal experience. In the small group of 15 or fewer people, you really experience the landscape and culture as if you were driving yourself, listening to an audiobook. Our tour guide Eduardo was extremely knowledgeable and certainly had a good answer for any and all questions you have. His English was excellent, and gave the tour in both English and Spanish. Sometimes tour guides will slowly move towards one language during the tour but he treated the whole group equally the entire time. Such a spectacular drive, gorgeous scenery, a real taste of the local culture. The wine tour and tasting was good, but what really made the tour special were all the little experiences we had along the way.

This is an excellent tour, where you get to see magnificent scenery. The price is good as well. The guide was excellent and spoke excellent English. The stops are excellent and you have plenty of free time at them. Cafayate was a lovely little town and you have enough time to look around at your leisure. the visit to the winery was a bonus as well. The wine was excellent!

We really enjoyed this tour and the places we visited. The scenery in this area is really quite unique and stunning, the town of Cafayete is very quaint and a great place to walk around and shop, and the visit to the winery was a lot of fun. Our guide Monica was excellent - she was very informative, keen, and friendly. Our driver was also excellent and always drove safely.
