Our goal for this Gaucho Day Trip was to enjoy a nice day at a traditional ranch in Argentina with the support of a travel agency that provide us with a tour in English. My partner and I had a good time at the ranch. All the personnel at the ranch were very friendly and we enjoyed the show while we were having lunch.
However, we were disappointed about the tour. We thought that the guide would give us information during the trip in English but she only spoke in Spanish. I speak Spanish but my partner does not. Therefore, I had to work as a translator for my partner during the whole trip to the ranch. I dont have a problem to do it for him but that was not the plan.
At the ranch we saw other groups that their guide spoke well English. Unfortunately it was not our case.
Hopefully in the future the travel agency will fix this situation or at least be more honest that they could only provide touristic guide that only speak Spanish.
Best regards,
Pablo Palla

Tour guide was very good, providing lots of information on the drive out. But once we go Santa Susana there were several hours of really not much happening, until we sat down for lunch. Food and refreshments (including wine and beer) were plentiful and good (although the chicken was very dry) and the entertainment was good.

The barbacue was excellent, and the overall ambiance set with the tango dancing and the gaucho serving both the food and the wine made for a most enjoyable experiance. We found the early part of the day a bit slow hense the four stars.

This tour was soooo much fun. I'd highly recommend this to any of my friends. They came and picked us up at the hotel in a comfortable van. Drove us out there. They provided delicious empanadas and gave us some background of Gauchos. Really friendly. We were allowed to wander about the ranch. Ride the horses (although I think some instructions on how to safety ride a horse would have been appreciated), etc. Then there was the bbq and show. The show was great but the meat was medium quality. I didn't eat too much of it but it still upset my stomach. But I still think this was well worth the investment.

This ranch is totally organised for tourists, it doesn't mean it's not an enjoyable day!! Firstly it's nice to get out into the country, it's beautiful. We didn't go during peak season so the Ranch wasn't busy. The cowboys were great value and lots of fun, they really made the day and there's ample food

On our return trip to Buenos Aires, we had to walk long distance from the drop point back to our hotel.

After a long and tedious bus ride picking up other passengers and depositing half of them at the start of a totally separate tour, finally made it to the Ranch which had a number of homes/outbuilding preserved and furnished in period furniture and curios. All quite interesting. A wagon ride was followed by lunch which was adequate but not overly memorable and then a live show involving tango, samba and guitar playing - all performed moderately well and with the necessary enthusiasm. Finally it was the turn of the gauchos to show their skills which was quite impressive but went on and on; the tedium putting a dampener on what was otherwise an interesting day.

Excellent tour, and a lot of fun. If you left hungry, it was your own fault. Tourguide was excellent, and was reasonably fluent in English

A very fun day with a tour guide full of interesting tidbits and a lot of knowledge of his subject.
The food was fantastic.

I booked this trip after seeing it recommended by someone else on the Internet. I'm so glad I did. A coach journey of about an hour into the countryside. On arrival we were given delicious Empenadas and choice of drink. Free time to ride on the horses or horse and cart. A it was nearing the end of the season the tour wasn't full so everyone had chance to do both if they wanted to. There was also the old ranch house to explore. Then it was time for lunch. Beef, chicken, sausages etc all cooked over a wood fire. Plenty of salads, bowls replaced as soon as they were empty. Drinks flowed, delicious Argentinian Malbec wine, beer and soft drinks. Dessert and coffe served, it ws time for the entertainment. Two men, one on guitar one on squeeze box, then a Tango demonstration and then everyone danced. Next we were all back outside to watch the Gauchos give their demonstration. A bit dusty, but a good time was had by all. It was an excellent day and I would thoroughly recommend the trip.
