We spent 8 days in March with Nick touring the magnificent area north of Salta. Booking with Poncho Tours made for a hassle-free experience. After a long flight from Australia, we were met by Nick at the airport, & spent a comfortable 1st night at their B&B just outside of Salta. Nick was an excellent guide, good-natured, a careful driver,... More

We enjoyed three days with Nick and three with Mariano a few weeks ago and one was as good as the other. If one is interested in seeing and enjoying Salta and Jujuy Provinces, having a private car and driver is absolutely the way to go. Poncho is probably one of the more professional and competent outfits I've found in... More

My husband was skeptical that a private tour in Salta province would be good value for money, but the advice and help of Nick Evans and our guide, David Martinez, were invaluable in making our two-day trip to Cachi and Seclantas and indeed our time in the North West generally a highlight of our two-week vacation. In his prompt and... More

We spent 6 days touring with Jed. The first four days we travelled north of Salta to Tilcara and Iruya. The last two days were spent driving along the Cuesta de Obispo to Seclantas and touring that area. The scenery in this region is amazing - the stunning Quebrada de Humahuaca, the Salinas Grandes, high mountain passes, switchbacks, condors and... More

1. Preparing the trip we had a lot of E-mails with Nick, the owner of Poncho Tours. This was very helpful to make an individual planning of the trip. 2. Part of the service was picking us up at the Salta bus station at arrival and bringing us to Salta airport to depart. 3. First we had a 1-day trip... More

My wife and I spent 11 days with Nick Evans as our driver/guide and one day with Jed. We have traveled on our own during four separate trips to Argentina, including two weeks the previous year in Salta and Juyuy. The time spent with Nick and with Jed in February 2012 counts as definitely our best travel experience in Argentina.... More

Poncho Tours provided my wife and me an experienced English-speaking guide, dependable vehicle and hotel accommodations for exploring Salta and Jujuy Provinces for a week. Everything worked. We saw fantastic scenery, visited archaeological sites and museums. We stayed in comfortable hotels, ate some great meals. Our guide was helpful and catered to the needs and interests of a couple in... More

We recently toured the Salta region - well, tried to, anyway. It was the rainy season and sometimes your plans don't work out the way you had hoped. Our driver and guide was David Martinez. He was knowledgeable, personable and all those things that the best guides are. More importantly, in this case, though, he was a patient and extremely... More

My husband and I don't normally do tours, preferring to do our own thing when on holidays. However, we decided we would like to have a guide for 2 days during our recent trip to Argentina and after some research contacted Poncho Private Tours in Salta. We made the right choice! From the very first e mail we were given... More

I traveled solo with Nick Evans on an 8-day tour. The highlight of the tour was a two-day hike from the small city of Iruya to the towns of San Juan and San Isidro, While not far from Iruya in terms of how the crow flies, the hike is definitely a challenge. The first destination, the small community of San... More
