“This was definitely the highlight of our visit to El Calafate. The views are spectacular and the glaciers almost seem unreal. Pictures will never make justice to how impressive these glaciers are.

Review of El Calafate’s Perito Moreno Glacier day trip, with walkways, guide, transport, park fees, boat option, and practical booking advice.
“I usually dismiss low reviews as bitter people, but I feel compelled to share our experience. Coming for the first time I didn’t want to disappoint my family so I decided this tour would be a good option. If you have a rental car you can make this easy drive from El Calafate. Your time at the glacier is all self guided. You can book your own boat tour. We spent a lot of money for a bid ride and a guide who didn’t share any information of interest. Don’t fall for this”
Cruise past Upsala and Spegazzini glaciers, walk Perito Moreno’s footbridges, and enjoy a full-day Patagonia outing from El Calafate.
“The only bad thing was it rained most of the day so the views were not that great. But we still were able to get some nice photos and it finally quit raining when we arrived at Perito Moreno. Then we really loved the views. We even got to see a large piece of the glacier fall. The staff on the boat was great and at the footbridges our guide Maxi and Jorge the bus driver were a great pair”

Review the Perito Moreno Glacier tour from El Calafate, with walkways, a boat cruise, Glaciarium Museum, costs, tips, and drawbacks.
“The glacier is definitely worth it, the tour is great with on time pick up and smooth communication. The only thing that I did not really like was about the museum, the tickets are included but if you want to go to the glass bar, you will have to pay nearly the full price again. So it makes it not worth at all and best to take it separately. They should at least ask in advance if we are interested in the glass bar, so that we can only pay the additional amount and not the full price. Other that that, great guide, great tour, and enjoy the glacier -…”
