Be cautious about the advertised language of the tour!
Fiona_W, Mar 2024
The tour guide and the driver were both excellent, however, we purchased this tour because it said that it was in English. This was not the case. Although the tour guide made great effort to speak first in Spanish and the English, that is not what we signed up for. It was impossible to understand questions from the group, communicate with other group members (because we were the only English-speaking people on the tour) or get a full understanding of what was being said. We would have booked a different tour if we had known that it was not exclusively in English. I would suggest that you make that clear in the future because when we purchased the tour, it clearly said that it was in English - not Spanish and English.
Not worth the time

Way too much time in the sightseeing van; would have enjoyed more of a walking tour. But then again, there really isn’t much to see in the city of Salta: it’s really more of the larger hub as a base to go see other smaller towns in the province.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Hello, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We will try to improve on this tour so that maybe we don't spend that much time in the van and walk a bit more through the streets of Salta which have plenty of attractions to offer. Best regards
