“È stato molto interessante vedere i paesini della Quebrada de Humauaca, ma purtroppo non abbiamo sentito la spiegazione della guida perché la qualità del suono dell'altoparlante del bus era pessima. È stato un peccato perché abbiamo scelto questa escursione con guida proprio per avere le sue spiegazioni. Siamo rimasti delusi anche dalla vista delle montagne, che in realtà non sono così colorate come indicato nelle foto (almeno nel punto panoramico previsto nell'escursione).”

Colonia del Sacramento: Small-Group Day Trip

13.Colonia del Sacramento: Small-Group Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 48 reviews · 12 hours · from $315

You’ll cross the Rio de la Plata by ferry, then explore Colonia’s UNESCO-listed Old Town with a guide such as Alejandra. Expect Calle de los Suspiros, the city gate, lighthouse, basilica, convent ruins, and free time for lunch or wandering. Hotel pickup and ferry tickets simplify the day, but the $315 price is high for a two-hour guided walk.

“The guide was great - very knowledgeable - she was entertaining, fun and relaxed. The tour was about 2 hours in total. The price of the whole experience was quite high. It included ferry tickets, transport to and from the hotel. It would be better to just purchase the tickets separately at £30 each and pay for Ubers to and from the hotel. The cost of the guide your guide tour was £260 … essentially this means I paid £200 for the 2 hour tour.”

We were left in an old part of BA and told go out of the building turn left and your hotel is in that direction. 30 minutes later with aid of a map we made it back,but don't let this put you off.”
