Absolutely wonderful in every respect. Highly recommended. From the welcome drink and empanadas to the proper horse ride, the endless freshly cooked food and drinks to folklore dancing, singing and then the horse whisperer demonstration. Fabulous!

The estancia is beautiful and our guide was great. We had a relaxing time and the food and wine was great. The only slightly disappointing part was the entertainment. While we enjoyed fooling around in trying to dance with the performers, we much rather have enjoyed watching the professionals perform more for us.

The excursion started with a resident pick up, comfortable van drive to San Antonio del Areco, a small rustic town with authentic flavor, a trip to Estancia El Ombu, a working ranch with horses for riding, lovely lawn and setting for a delicious parrilla meal with various meats, salads and appetizers. Wonderful flowing wine and drinks. Traditional guitar music and dancing plus a remarkable demonstration with a horse whisperer finished up with the visit before the comfortable ride home. My family, ages 70 to 8 years of age, all loved this day on a working, authentic estancia. The horse ride was out into the pampas and you felt like you were miles and miles away in the heart of Argentina

The day started with a driver picking me up at my hotel at the appointed time. The bus was spacious enough and air-conditioned. our tour guide, Pablo gave us a concise history lesson about the evolution of the Gauchos. I was happy to have learned something valuable about culture and history of Argentina. Pablo was very entertaining throughout the two hour ride to the ranch. Upon reaching the ranch, we were welcomed with tastey empanadas and a `drink of out choice. 0The ranch is spacious, by American standards. I was able to relax and get to meet the other tourists. Then, I fitted to a horse my size and went for a horse ride of at least thirty minutes. Afterwards, a majestic lunch was served of the meats cooked for us that day at the ranch. Pablo made sure that each one his guests were taken care of. After lunch, we had dessert and a 45 minute Guacho show, which included our participation in dance. The day was amazing, restfull, and fun. It was the high-light of my trip.

The tour was fantastic. Camilla, the multi-lingual tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the Gaucho culture and its history and her personality was very accommodating in all sense of the word.

Tour guide Marcello was excellent. Very informative, helpful, and personable (fit in with all 5 tour patrons). Missed out on gauchos demonstration but understand the weather condition was the reason they could not perform. 4 wheel drive through the mud to get to the estancia almost made up for it with the excitement of slipping and sliding through the mud.

We really loved our trip to Gaucho Ranch. We had a fantastic guide - Paublo, who made the trip, with his informative, relaxed style. Kids enjoyed the horse ride and the food was delicious. Though it was wet in the morning, the 'muddy', bumpy, 4wd drive road to the ranch was a highlight for our kids! The entertainment after lunch with gaucho dancing, guitar playing and the horse whisperer made it a memorable trip! Highly recommend.

Our guide Pablo was very knowledgeable and friendly. He shared so much about the history and culture of Argentina and the Gaucho lifestyle. The food was well prepared, great tasting and ample amount of everything. Would definitely recommend this day tour.

We had a wonderful full day tour with Pablo to Estancia El Ombu de Areco. Pick up was on time and friendly. Pablo provided an excellent narrative on Buenos Aires and Argentina on the trip there. We arrived and were treated to some empanadas and a short tour of the "kitchen" where the meat was being prepared for our lunch later in the day. We then were "loaded" up on our horses (carriage rides provided for those not wishing to ride a horse) and left with a group of about 50 others to ride around the ranch. The horses were all gentle and calm. The staff helped everyone get up on the horse and be ready to go. It was fun watching the ranch's dog herding the horses and cows when necessary. Once back we were seated for our asado lunch. A feast of meats were brought to us continually to go along with some excellent salads and unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks. Once lunch was done we were treated to a show of local dancers (including a young 2 year old who made the show). The ride back to the hotel was certainly quiet and as we all had a snooze. All in all a great day and well worth the money - it's not cheap to do these things but you'll enjoy it.

Nicholas was a great tour guide. He was entertaining and informative, and made it a point to be inclusive of every individual. The ranch experience was awesome, and did not feel commercial at all, rather like we were guests on a family ranch. The veranda where we had lunch was beautiful, and the grounds were amazing. The horse back ride was a nice bonus and was well organized. Lots of laughs and everyone got along great. Five stars to Gaston, our driver, as well.
