Thank you to Nick for assisting us in planning our visit to Salta, Pumamarca, and Cafayate. Throughout the planning process and our trip, Nick responded promptly to any questions and gave great advice. Our private tour was perfect! Nicholas, our guide/driver, ensured that we were comfortable and well cared for during our multi-day journey.

Steve and I did the mountain to cloud forest tour in September. We had a day with Nick in the Quebrada Humahuaca and then joined Armando and his team for the trek. It was an amazing experience. It's a tough hike and be prepared for very basic accomodation, but the rewards are the breathtaking landscape and the interaction with local people. We were taken to heart by our fellow walkers and looked after really well by the team. Nick was great and gave us a whole load of extra help with our lost luggage, even lending us some of the kit we were missing. Would definitely recommend.

My daughter and I arranged a fantastic tour of northern Argentina and Bolivia through Nick and Poncho Tours and all the details worked perfectly for an amazing trip. Nick is very knowledgeable about the region and is a delight to travel with. He assisted us across the border to Bolivia and hooked us up with a great Bolivian tour company which he works with, La Torre Tours. I highly recommend Poncho Tours!!

My husband and I, along with our two friends did the Salt & Seven Colors tour with Rodrigo. It was an amazing experience seeing both the diverse landscapes of the area and the charming towns throughout the trip. Rodrigo's English was great, and he took fantastic care of us (including when I was feeling sick due to the altitude in the highlands). He was very knowledgeable about the area and also was open to talking about his experience living in and around Salta his whole life. Overall it was an experience that I will never forget!

I booked a solo/private daytrip from Salta to Cafayate (and return) with Poncho Tours in December 2019. Mariano was my guide for the day and provided the tour in English. Mariano’s appreciation of wine culture made for great conversation, and provided very good insight into the region we visited. My interest was mostly in Torrontés, and Poncho Tours was flexible in recommending good options given we only had one-day. I got to visit 3 different vineyards for tastings, a mix of a bigger/more commercial one, to a smaller family run! A really good blend! Our first stop was Bodega El Esteco, with a bigger operation. The second stop was Bodega Burbujas de Altura, a smaller family run vineyards, where the owner himself spent almost 2 hours providing me insight into his production and did the tasting with me. This stop was definitively a highlight with more intimate visit, and their sparkling wine made from Torrontés grapes in the traditional method is a must try! The final stop was Bodega El Porvenir de Cafayate, where I got to try many different Torrontés: from the traditional one, to one fermented in oak barrels, to a sweeter version. Finally, the drive to/from Cafayate through the Quebrada de las Conchas was breathtaking, with stunning colourful vistas at every turn. We were able to stop at various points on route, to take in the view and for pictures. It makes for a very enjoyable drive! I would most definitively recommend booking with Poncho Tours for a tour tailored to your interest, with a knowledgable guide.
