What travellers say
We really enjoyed our tour to cafayate with Julio, he made sure to make plenty stops along the way for us to take photos, cafayate itself was okay,the winery was cool, you taste only 3 wines though from the 8 options they have, I think the best thing about this tour is the landscapes you get to see along the way. Then again, we had an amazing experience mostly because of Julio, the tour wide. Super knowledgeable and funny.
Our guide Stan was amazing. Knowledgeable, friendly, engaging.... made us feel very welcomed. There was a good selection of food, and yet the tour is not just about the food but about the Argentinian culture. The only issue with the tour is we ate too much and that is a good thing. I would recommend this to everyone.
Opted for dinner and show option. The service was good. Food and wine was excellent; the steak was really delicious. The show was excellent too, with mainly argentine tango performances (songs and dances). The traditional gaucho dance and drum routines was very impressive! The dinner started at 7pm and the show at about 8pm. We finished before 930pm which is great for people who'd prefer to go home early. For those who prefer a later show, they have a second one at 10pm, which is the usual time for tango shows everywhere in san telmo
