This 13-day package, there’re about 6 days on your own or the travel agent arranged you on local bus from city to city, no pick up from accommodation and bus stop, all on your own expenses. If you are on transfer from city to city and that count one day of package. Accommodations on this package were cheap arranged, no starts hotel, far from the “town”. Very inconvenient.
I will not recommend any tours, packages that offer/arrange by Say Hueque travel agent based in Buenos Aires Argentina,

After researching independent travel, I worked with Say Hueque Agency to put together a customized 12 day tour of Buenos Aries, Ushuaia, El Calafate, and Iguazu. I was very happy with the professionalism and courtesy offered by Karen Rosa in the planning and booking process and Cecilia Martire while I was in Argentina. I felt comfortable with all the tour operators and transportation companies that provided services that were exactly as I expected. Everyone was polite and helpful while eagerly sharing their knowledge and pride of their city or region. Argentina has so much to offer and I am happy that I have great memories of the nature, architecture and people of an awesome country.

I chose Say Hueque to organize me a tour of Patagonia and it was a very good choice! The program (developed by Say Hueque, I did only one amendment - I added one day in El Chalten) contained the most interesting places of Patagonia, the most worth seeing. Everything was perfectly organized, everything took place at the time Say Hueque gave me, everything lasted as much as Say Hueque gave me, all the trips took place according to the schedule. The hotels were clean, warm, met the expected standard, the staff very friendly and helpful. Buses are also comfortable and clean. My trip lasted 14 days and there was not a single organizational slip at all times. Before the trip, I got all the information and details about the trip, including an emergency phone number to Say Hueque.
It's a very professional travel agent and recommendable to everyone!!! I am planning to visit South America more in the future and I will certainly do it with Say Hueque.

From start to finish we received an absolutely top class service from Say Hueque - and Lujan, in particular. This was the first time we had ever used the services of a tour operator and, based on our experience with Say Hueque, we would happily do the same again. Lujan was patience itself, responding to our endless queries ahead of our booking with great professionalism and consideration. We also hugely appreciated the opportunity to tailor the 13 day trip to our own particular needs such that we were able to exchange the days earmarked for Buenos Aires with days in Chubuk Province and a visit to Gaiman and to Peninsular Valdes, both utterly fascinating destinations and highly recommended.
The hotels were all clean and comfortable and all were within easy reach of the town centres which made exploration strolls and going out for meals really easy.
The tour operators selected by Say Hueque at each stage of the trip were as friendly and as professional in the delivery of their services as Say Hueque themselves. The groups were small and the attention to detail - and the willingness of the guides to always go that extra distance by responding to all queries - was outstanding and very much appreciated.
We absolutely and without hesitation recommend Say Hueque to anyone else wanting to visit the many natural splendours of Argentina, a fabulous destination that we would very much like to return to again - to visit the eastern and northern parts of the country. We will then certainly enlist the services of Say Hueque again!

We actually significantly tweeked this itinerary to fit our needs. Could not have competed with the excellent job that Patricio at Say Hueque did for us. Everything was as expected or better. All the transfers and connections were on time and worked. Ended our trip with a tour at Iguazu Falls and a half day city tour of Buenas Aires and evening dinner/Tango show. All were very well done.

I had a clear picture of my trekking holiday through Patagonia in mind and Say Hueque put it all into reality for me. Service and information plus support were excellent before and during the trip. Request for changes were quickly addressed and even when there were questions during the trip the support was always there and adapted to my personal needs! I can highly recommend this agency!

What is the comfort level of the buses, since many hours are spent on bus travel. I am 6'4" and have found many commercial buses do not have sufficient leg room. I also have low back pain when sitting for long periods. Are there frequent stops to stretch?

My husband and I are planning a trip for mid December 2019 and were wondering how long in advance we should book this tour. Also, since the 13 day tour includes Christmas Day, will that change the itinerary because parks may be closed?
Thanks,

Hi Kelley, thank you for your question! December is extremely high season in Patagonia so we really recommend to book everything as soon as possible in order to find availability in the requested hotel category. The order of the tour may change a little regarding availability, but it will always start in El Calafate and end in Ushuaia (unless you request to be otherwise). Hope you can visit our beautiful country!
