Chile & Argentina Vacation Review: El Chalten, Horseback Riding, El Calafate, Wine Tasting, Hiking, Tango

The things we wish were different are very minor

-the tango show had a really terrible dinner, we would opt to go to a show and have dinner on our own before hand

-we would have tried to stay at a different hotel in el calafete, the one selected was a little dated

-we would have liked to spend a day in puntas arenas and see the penguins/see the city

-it was hard to know how much to tip our tour guides because we weren't sure how much the activity cost, a guide would have been helpful
Travel Company Comments

Hi Vicky

Many thanks for your kind review – it was a pleasure meeting you and your husband, and I am delighted you enjoyed your time in Argentina & Chile.

Regarding tipping, as I explained in our Important Information prior to Travel document:

Tipping is not obligatory in Argentina. However, on receiving good service at a restaurant, people will tip between 5 to 10%. For guides, this is purely at your own discretion.

In regards to the dinner at the Tango show, yes you are correct, the dinners are not the highlight of the show and if time allows you, it would be nicer to have dinner somewhere else beforehand and see only the show after as you can take the option of Show-only.
