It was a great choice to take our trips to Península Valdés and Punta Tombo with Sussanich Turismo. Organising things before we arrived with Natalia was all very easy, very clear on things like the daily itineraries and the price. We were given advice on booking our whale watching trip on the first day in case bad weather caused a delay. Very useful information that we had not previously considered. For both of our trips we were taken out by Mati who turned out to be the perfect guide for us. Looking after a group with ages ranging from 5 years old to 67 years old is not always easy, but Mati was great. Very knowledgeable on the all the wonderful flora and fauna we were seeing as well as the history of the region. I’d recommend for anyone to take a trip to Puerto Madryn and the surrounding areas of Chubut province, and I’d recommend for fellow travellers to use Sussanich Turismo to help them get the most out of their trip.

Not worth it, I'm afraid. Too expensive to get to see just one of the glaciers, the Spegazzini one. (The Upsala glacier can only be seen from afar, as it's deemed too risky to approach). The journey was too long and quite uncomfortable (the ferry I took was the Quo Vadis). Too many people travelling. The ferry was 80% full in Covid times, which I found unsensible and irresponsible. We could not choose where to sit or change seats afterwards. The Spegazzini refuge is partly open. You can take a (rather short) walk in the woods, but the café/restaurant/toilet area is (still) closed and looks quite derelict. I've taken other tours in the area (Perito Moreno Glacier/ Canal Beagle/Full day at Chalten) and they were less expensive, better organised and far more enjoyable than this one.

My rating is poor because not only was this entire excursion awful, but the tour guide didn't act like a tour guide. First, the excursion out to Peninsula Valdes was just way too long and we didn't get to see anything. In fact, all of us on the bus stood around for an hour, while the tour guide and 2 passengers "watched" the elephant seals. Mind you, the elephant seals just looked like rocks because you were too far away to actually see anything. The fact that Peninsula Valdes was awful was not the tour company's fault, BUT we did get to go to Puerto Pyramides at the end and it was very pretty, but because we wasted so much time in the other areas (where there was nothing to see) we didn't get much time there. Also, the tour guide did not give specific times of when to be back on the van and did not keep the excursion moving. The fact that 8 people stood around for an hour to leave and she didn't notice was a problem. Then we would ask when we needed to be back onboard and she would say 10 minutes - an hour later we would leave. This was super frustrating. Finally, this tour was expensive and 100% not worth it. The Peninsula was not good at the time of year we went. We basically saw nothing and for 2.5 hour drive (1.5 on gravel), it was a horrible experience and I would not recommend it.

We did this as a shore excursion and we booked it directly with El Pedral. The El Pedral team at the Puerto Madryn port were well signed and we found our way to our guide, Rodrigo who directed s to the small 'bus we went touring within. Rodrigo was well spoken and an excellent guide giving us great information on the excursion. We saw some wildlife on the journey to El Pedral property. Our first stop was to observe a small nmber of Elephant Seals laying below our cliff top observation point and then we proceeded to the area of the light house. Then came the reason for our journey - the walk, maybe 1500m or more, to the area where the penguins were located. First we saw moulting birds and then more and more and finally we reached the pebble beach where there were many penguins close to the line of surf. A few walked close to us while we stood upon the beach. After we returned to our bus we went to the El Pedral buildings where we had a lunch which included Argentinian style BBQed lamb and wine. This was the best excursion we have ever been on in our 6 cruises.

I Do not recommend this company I did a pre-planned day trip of Argentina. It was arranged they pick me up from nearby hotel. I msg to confirm and they changed the plans and I had to meet there which wasn’t Easy to find. I attempted many times to contact them via the phone numbers they provided and concierge also attempted, but they never responded. Then I only got half the tour. Try other more reliable and reputable companies.
