    A highlight of our visit to Salta
    Emelie_H, Dec 2023
    This bus/train trip is visually stunning. The altitude can be an issue for some people ( we took Diamox before hand and had no issues). If you need a non Spanish tour guide make sure you specify this when you pick up your tickets at the train station. We speak English and initially were put on a Spanish/French bus. Fortunately we were able to switch at the first rest stop. You can book the tickets for this excursion directly at the Tren de Nubes site and this is cheaper than going through a secondary provider. All the tour operator provided was a transfer to a from the train station. Definitely a highlight of our visit to Salta.
    OK if you speak Spanish

    Pros: ● Bus was nice. ● Stops were fine. ● The train was fun. ● Guides were sweet but... Cons: ● Although this is sold as having English-speaking guides, they nice young women shortchanged the few English speakers, talking for ten minutes in Spanish then only a minute or two in English. ● Funny and misleading to sell this as a "Private Tour" since nothing about it is private on the big buses!
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Hello Williams, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review so we can continue to improve our services. The private transfer is to the hotel in Salta, then the tour is done on a regular basis with the other passengers. We are sorry that this has caused confusion in your reservation, that is why we have currently modified the description of the service for a better understanding, thanks to your comments. On the other hand, we are sorry that you were not satisfied with your guide, being a bilingual guide he tries to explain in the best way taking the time with each group of passengers, either English or Spanish. The guide who conducted the excursion speaks several languages and has experience guiding in other companies. In addition, he has completed training regarding all our itineraries and the aspects to take into account in each one of them. In general, our entire team receives ongoing training as part of the standards required by our quality certification. We take these comments and send them to the guide as an opportunity to improve our services. Thank you for your sincere comment and please accept our apologies. Best regards, Tangol

    En general, la excursión es muy recomendable y puede decirse que es una experiencia única. Aunque es muy larga unas 14 horas en total, ya que sales muy temprano y regresas muy tarde.
