We had an absolutely incredible day trip from El Calafate to the Perito Moreno Glacier with 'Patagonia Dreams.' The entire tour was perfectly timed, allowing us 3 hours to explore the breathtaking glacier walkways at our own pace. The 'crowning glory' was the boat trip at the end, which took us right up to the massive glacier wall—simply stunning! A huge thank you to our driver, Claudio, for the smooth ride, and especially to our guide, Micaela. Her English was excellent, and she provided great insights throughout the day. If you want a seamless and awe-inspiring experience, I highly recommend this team!

Itinerary
Departure from your hotel in El Calafate around 10:00 a.m. to the imposing Perito Moreno Glacier, located in Los Glaciares National Park. During the journey, you will cross the Magellanic Peninsula, where you will have enough time to explore this fascinating natural ice formation. The tour begins with a walk through the park’s network of walkways, which stretches for 4 kilometers (2.5 miles). From different levels and viewpoints, you can admire the glacier from various perspectives, enjoying panoramic and unique views. You will have 3 hours to walk the walkways and, if you wish, you can take the opportunity to pause and have lunch, either with a picnic or at one of the nearby restaurants. Afterwards, you will embark on a boat ride of about 1 hour, approaching the imposing wall of the glacier. At the end of the tour, you will return to El Calafate by the same route, arriving in the city in the afternoon. No pickup is made for accommodations that do not have a reception. In this case, you will be given a meeting point close to your accommodation.

Literally tour was just pick you up and drop you off at the glacier. Little information by the guide nothing that you can't read on internet and then drop you off at the glacier and give you three and a half hours to walk around. In my opinion rip off overpriced tour. Guide obviously prefer people who speak Spanish so on the way back he was chatting with some of his new "friends" and didn't give us that much informations. Take a bus or taxi
Great trip, the guide was very good, his explanations were thorough and super kind. He made sure that everyone was comfortable and answer all our questions if any. The driver drove all the way in safety at all times. The agents were always reachable via whatsapp and they were very professionals. They answered all our questions via messages in a quickly manner. Definitely I recommend this trip, the boat experience was one of the most stunning experiences I have ever had (I’ve visited around ~20 countries)
Great experience all around with guide Daniela and driver Sebastian! Breathtaking scenery, smooth logistics, tour in English and Spanish, amazing boat ride and great walkways for hike. Was a privilege to see the glacier and its natural beauty. Even saw a iceberg fall off! Recommend to anyone.
Very nice! The tour show us the view points and let us walk around the place to see the Glacier! i did not take the boat but still like what I see
Great tour to the Perito Moreno Glacier. Included a trip by boat to the glacier front. We had a great knowledgeable and experienced guide who told us about the best walks at the terraces. High recommand!
Everyone must go once in their life!! This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! Guide was most friendly.
Very informative tour with a guide who presented the region and our path to the glacier very well and in details. And of course the rock star of the tour is The Perito Moreno Glacier. The boat turned out not necessary as the view is breathtaking from the boardwalks; it was way more interesting to stroll along them. The staff was professional although in Argentina I could expect a weird energy when it came to interact with me, a black person. I could tell they hardly could hide being "aware" of my presence. Tour operators in Argentina should train their staff into expecting black people coming to visit. We're just passing by and it's a transaction here. Nothing personal. No incident happened but they succeeded in making me feel I was a particular guest by not pronouncing my last name but just my first name when calling those who already had the navigation option purchased. I felt single out! The woman who works in the National Park and who came in bus to give us the tickets talked to me directly in Spanish as if I was South American. And her energy was very aggressive! It's about their energy. They struggle to hide their discomfort and/or hate. The tour guide assistants behaved gracefully throughout the day. Training on the racial matter is important as people all over the world share their experiences in social media.
Picked up on time. Guide was informative and patient. We chose not to do the boat ride so we had lots of time to explore the pathways at our own pace.
Everything was as we agreed. They picked me up even that my hostel wasn’t on the list of hotels. I totally can recommend that trip.
It is an unforgettable experience, I carry in my retina that beautiful place, do not miss it
Excellent company, responsible and very efficient staff. From planning your departure to returning to the hotel. I highlight the guides who are very professional, friendly and passionate about what they do. Super recommended!
Me informaron precio en pesos y en mi cuenta bancaria figuran dolares lo cual incrementa el precio en posos un 130%
Escuchar el crujido del hielo como si fueran truenos y ver cómo se rompe y cae un pedazo de hielo del tamaño de un edificio no tiene precio.
La navegacion y estar a solo 200 mt del glaciar...muy bueno....con un grupo de extrangeros q unieron al mundo ....
Unfortunately the experience was not good, from the beginning we had to wait more than 30 minutes than agreed for them to come pick us up at the hotel, then the transportation is not the one shown in the video, it is any bus, not the truck of adventures that they promote for this alternative tour, we continued going around picking up more tourists, which delayed the departure of the excursion longer. The guide hardly said anything in explanation on the way, he was practically silent, and on the way back he slept the whole way... DON'T DO IT, OR LEARN WELL BEFORE DOING IT
Serviço pontual, ônibus confortável, motorista (Juan) cuidadoso e guia (Lucia) excelente. Não fizemos o passeio de barco nesse dia; com isso foi possível curtir a geleira por mais tempo e almoçar tranquilamente.
Excellent tour to the Perito Moreno glacier, Oscar and Guide Lucía were very good. They take care of everything, all you have to do is enjoy ✨👍🏻 highly recommended!
All beautiful. But on the transfer buses, both the way and the return, we died of cold. It was colder than outside.
Carla the guide kept explaining, a genius! Very good experience. Punctual and honest. Super recommended Service
All in order along the way. Super friendly guide. It was 100% enjoyed both the destination and the journey!
Shocking, a landscape that excites. Sailing on the lake was extraordinary, the people of the boat at the height of the landscape, the attention, information and friendliness is to highlight. Apart from a rich lunch sailing on the lake.
Guide Juan, from the Patagonia Dreams Enterprise, very bad, when you asked him something his answers were like they bothered him, let alone ask x another excursion. It seems Patagonia Dreams employees aren't well paid, I mean that because of the way they treat customers.
