We chose Poncho Tours for 2 reasons. One, it has garnered rave reviews in TripAdvisor based on reasonable sample size and time span. Two, it offers private tours (usually of no more than 2 or 3 people) tailored to specific interests. Nick, who runs Poncho with his wife Alicia, always responded quickly to our questions while we were still finalizing... More

Our family had a wonderful trip with Nick from Salta to Tucuman! He knows all the best places to eat, mountains to climb for an excellent view and perfect places to stay for a night! We enjoyed the trip very much! We also stayed at Poncho Huasi and can highly recommend this beautiful house!!!!

We only had 3 days for Salta and surrounds and wanted to see as much as possible. I doubt we could have done it on our own. Nick picked us up from the airport, took us to our accommodation, Carpe Diem, one of the places recommended by him and which we are happy to recommend to others. We spent the... More

My friend and I spent five days in October 2012, travelling the area around Salta with Nick of Poncho Tours. It was a fantastic journey, spending two days in the north through Quebrada de Humahuaca and Salinas Grandes, and three days in the south through Los Cardones Nat Park, Valles Calchaquies, Cafayate and Quebrada de Cafayate. Really spectacular scenery, wonderful... More

A perfect way to enjoy Salta and the NW. NIck and I exchanged a zillion emails to organise the tour and to select small hotels in Salta and Tilcara. After airport pick up and orientation with Nick we spent two fantastic days with his designated driver, professional guide, Rodrigo, who speaks excellent English, is a super driver and shares his...

We took a 3 day, 2 nights tour North of Salta. Nick was very helpful during our initial e-mail exchange putting together a trip but also recommending further accommodation for the rest of our 3 week holiday in NW Argentina. Jed picked us up from the airport and drove us to our hotel in Salta. Two days later he picked... More

We (my husband and I) spent a week in the Northwest, a two-day trip north of Salta and a three-day-loop south. Could not in a million years have found some of the most amazing views on our own. Our guide Mariano was knowledgeable (about just about everything from rocks to wine, native culture and contemporary politics), enthusiastic about showing us... More

My husband & I don't usually take tours but thought it would be good to have no worries in terms of language skills, unfamiliar roads and any high altitude issues. It was worth every cent and everything was so easy going! A great decision. We had a lovely driver who tailored the pace of trip from Salta to Humahuaca to... More
