Thirty minutes before the tour begins, our pick-up service will arrive at your hotel to ensure you're all set to explore the city.
The tour starts in the historic foundational area, the original heart of Mendoza before the devastating earthquake of 1861. Here, you'll find the Ruinas de San Francisco, the remains of a 17th-century Jesuit church. These ruins are a poignant reminder of the city’s colonial heritage and serve as a symbol of Mendoza's resilience and rich history.
Next, we head to the vibrant downtown area, with Plaza Independencia at its core, surrounded by four satellite squares: San Martín, España, Italia, and Chile. Plaza Independencia, Mendoza's central square, is a lively gathering spot, often hosting cultural events and offering a beautiful central fountain, making it a perfect place to experience the local atmosphere.
The tour then heads to the expansive Parque General San Martín, one of Argentina's largest urban green spaces and the highlight of Mendoza's recreational area. Entering through the iconic gates on Avenida Emilio Civit, the tour takes you through El Rosedal, a stunning rose garden showcasing a variety of species, and Lago General Espejo, a serene lake that adds to the park's charm. The journey culminates at Cerro de la Gloria, where you'll enjoy breathtaking views and see the monument dedicated to General San Martín and the Army of the Andes. Spanning over 400 hectares, the park, designed by renowned landscape architect Carlos Thays in the late 19th century, also features a zoo and several other attractions, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers.
Cerro de la Gloria, situated within Parque General San Martín, provides stunning panoramic views of Mendoza and the surrounding area. At its summit stands an impressive monument honoring General José de San Martín and the Army of the Andes, commemorating their role in South America's fight for independence. Please note that access to this attraction may be restricted during adverse weather conditions.
The tour wraps up with a convenient drop-off at your hotel. After exploring Mendoza's rich history, lively downtown, and the vast beauty of Parque General San Martín, including the stunning views from Cerro de la Gloria, you'll leave with lasting memories of the city's highlights.
This is an excellent tour to get a good feel for Mendoza. The tour surprised me as we got to see so many beautiful parks and had free time in the largest one. My guide, Carolina, was the very best. She is a true professional and made this tour one of my favorites. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get to know Mendoza.
We were taken around the many beautifully decorated large city parks, significant landmarks and given relevant historic and social information, including how not to drop in the acequias inadvertently. Ramiro was a very congenial and asttentive guide.
This was a Wonderful experience. Great and knowledgeable guide. Would recommend to a friend. It was great to learn and tour the city this way.
Very good price, and is about 4 hrs. long. Great overview of the city, driver was punctual, and very well organized. At the end, Gloria did very nice dinner recommendations.
The Caro guide is a genius and tastes a lot!! It was very enjoyable visiting all the places and the exciting history. I recommend!!
Fue todo muy lindo y además el recorrido acompañado de una guía con experiencia en tratar grupos y con el conocimiento adecuado para la ocasión. Lo pasamos excelente!
Gostamos muito da guia Carolina ou Caro como ela se apresentou. Lugates bonitis, lindos parques. Aaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaasaaasass
Tour perfeito! Carol a guia qualificada e pessoa agradabilíssima, extremamente inteligente , escolha perfeita dos pontos turísticos
The history of Mendoza is very beautiful, visiting the squares and tree-lined streets is sensational, I didn't expect such a beautiful place. Our guide Carol demonstrated great knowledge and love for what she does, we really enjoyed it
Todas as experiências foram esclarecedoras e interessantes,gostamos bastante e a guia muito simpática e atenciosa
Guia bem atenciosa e consegue se comunicar bem com os brasileiros. Passeio ótimo para conhecer um pouco da história e conhecer alguns pontos turísticos da cidade.
Conhecer sobre a história da cidade. Sobre como tudo começou, até chegar no que está hoje. Muito bom poder ter esse conhecimento.
Against all odds, I did it on the last day (already having toured the city alone) and realized that it is key to be explained and commented on what you see. Very nice excursion. I went for the Tasting Enterprise and got $760. It can be done for free with buses that take out the municipality on Saturdays and Sundays (they have a unique tour and you can get off in one place and get on another collective later) very cute
Fleeting sight we went and came back in the day. We get off at the airport, take an Uber/Cabifi, get off at the pedestrian. We got on the Citybus and had a great day.
Mendoza and its wineries besides the stunning landscape enchanted us. we counted on our tour guide Fabriani Joel who made our stay perfect. The city has a huge park very beautiful and nice to walk
Excellent with competent professionals note ten wonderful places visited all well organized guides with great technical knowledge
Very nice walk, the only thing is that they have little communication with Turismo and inform you on the City tour (x ej) that if you get off at one of the stops, La Enoteca, you are guided tour with winemakers and recommendations...when we got off there was only the cleaning employee who acted as a tour guide and did not tour or taste with winemakers. We considered that a hoax and a waste of time since we had to wait an hour for the microphone to pass again. Another of the employees (a blonde lady) neither attended us and ignored us. Very ugly reception to tourism, in LA ENOTECA, being that I believe it is a city that depends a lot on it.
