Authentic Farm Day in an Argentine Countryside Estancia

We had a fabulous day with Diego as driver and Facundo as our guide. We learned so much about Argentina, Gaucho history and then the estanza was so welcoming. The horses were well cared for, the food amazing- so much meat and tasty salads. The horse whispering was also impressive. I loved the young children gauchos too they were so confident dancing and riding.

I loved the authenticity of this experience. Our group was small and the farm we visited was wonderful. Las Dueñas' owners were hands on and welcomed us warmly. The stop-over in San Antonio town was a bit short and the chocolate factory is closed on a Tuesday. The afternoon was relaxing and interesting at the farm. We had fun dancing with the local dancers too. Our guide, Natalia, was friendly and professional and very informative. I would highly recommend this day trip.

The best tour ever. Fantastic guide and driver. The farm experience was amazing- really felt like a member of the family. The horse show incredible and dancing was fun with the group joining in. The food and drink 10 stars. Anybody wanting to experience real regional Argentine life, should do this tour.

We had a fantastic day with the family at the Estancia - 1.5 hrs drive from BA into beautiful countryside. Stella is a font of knowledge about everything Argentina and great company too! A horse ride, delicious snacks and lunch, followed by dancing and a gaucho horse demonstration. The kids (5.9 and 13) had a wonderful time and so did we. Thank you Stella, and Maxi for driving us!

This was a great idea experience and an opportunity to learn a little about the history of the Gaucho. The food was delicious and plentiful. Everyone was extremely friendly. The horseback ride is not very long (about 20 min), nor strenuous. As you walk the perimeter of the property.

I’ll do this in point form as my original review didn’t go through and then it was ‘lost’. * A terrific day out!!! * Our guide, Rosa, was very informative and personable * The estancia was in a beautiful setting with an attractive, historic main building, a beautiful lawn and trees that you sat under to eat lunch *Very tasty food and delicious empanadas * friendly, helpful staff * a very enjoyable horse ride for at least an hour * entertainment after lunch was good... singing and dancing and group participation if you were interested. * The horse whisperer at the end was amazing. He had the horse laying upside down with its legs in the air as he was lying on top of it!! * only small groups.. maybe 70 people in all. No bus loads of cruise ship passengers. Much more intimate. * A great day out. I loved it.

We did 4 tours over our trip to Santiago and Buenos Aires and this was hands down the best experience for our family of 10. First off we had Pablo as our tour guide for the full day and he was nothing short of fantastic. His knowledge of Argentina as a whole and his comfort with our family which included 4 kids under 15 was amazing. The horse back riding was perfect for our family as many had never done it before so it gave you a great taste of what it was like without major risks. The lunch was a true Argentinian meat eating experience outside under the shade of the huge trees. All I will say is come hungry. Wonderful day and would recommend this to anyone touring Argentina for the first time.

We had a fantastic day at San Antonio de Areco on Friday December 20, 2019. Our guide Enrique was excellent in everything. We highly recommend this excursion.

My wife and me took this nice tour and we really enjoyed. We were so happy with overall service and hospitality given from all the staff starting from Pablo our tour guide and all the staff working at the estancia. Definitively , I recommend this tour. Pablo you ROCK!!!!

Picked up at hotel by Pablo and Garston. 3 hrs with all hotel pickups before we arrived in San Antonio. Pablo extremely informative on all matters Argentina and Gauchos. Quick visit to San Antonio de Areco before arriving at the Estancia. Horse or carriage ride then welcome pastries and lunch. Following lunch we watched local singing and dancing with the opportunity to take part if you so wished. We then witnessed what for us was the main event of the day the gauchos horsemanship. We saw a presentation of horse whispering. Excellent but we were disappointed as we expected to see far more with the horses a demonstration of their skills with the cattle etc. A good day out but not quite what we expected.
