      Outstanding
      This tour is a "must do" if you are intereted in getting a true feel for Bariloche. Diego gives a university quality presentation during the one and one-half hour walking tour. We finished the tour with an appreciation of the three waves of immigration that shaped the founding and development of the town. Absolutely fascinating!

      Excellent!
      Excellent tour!! Diego is very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher, making sure that everyone heard him and that we could ask any questions. Very fascinating review of German immigration into Argentina, which was much more than I realized. Interesting stops along the way to highlight these facts. Well done and must if you are at all interested in this part of history.

      Great Tour!
      We really enjoyed this tour with Diego. He was extremely informative and gave a great history of the area! The tour was the perfect amount of time and did not feel too long or too short. I would recommend doing this tour early on your visit to Bariloche, as Diego offered some great tip for restaurants and activities in the area.

      Terrific tour
      Diego was a phenomenal guide and answered every question in detail (yes, even the nonsensical one about Hitler escaping to South America). We already knew about the Nazi history but were unaware of the first two waves of German immigrants. I found the story of Otto Meiling very interesting. I especially enjoyed hearing how Sam Donaldson went to find Richard Kopps only to also discover Priebke. At least one of them finally faced justice.

      Best tour in BARILOCHE!!!
      Awesome bilingual guide. Best customer service price is very good. Diego Bonardi was extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. Highly recommended!! Must do tour. If you did not take the tour you’d miss a very intriguing and important historical content on how this town and country grew!!

      Informative and interesting, great tour!
      Excellent tour! The guide was very knowledgeable. He gave an interesting and engaging explanation of the history of German settlement in Bariloche. We walked through the German neighborhood, he highlighted points of interest, and told us about the three waves of German immigration. My daughter and I loved it. I highly recommend this tour!

      Very informative and the guide had excellent English and Spanish for us all to understand. He answered all our questions and even addressed popular conspiracies with knowledge from all angles. My husband is fascinated with the German history in Argentina and he learned a lot of new information. I highly recommend this tour!

    Diego provides a great overview of the natural history of the area, and the conquest and architectural history of the beautiful city of Bariloche and surrounding lakes and mountains. He deftly managed communicating to both Spanish and English speakers. We highly recommend booking this tour at the beginning of your visit for historical context and ideas on breweries, restaurants, etc.

    We recently participated in the “10 Secrets of Bariloche” excursion, and it was a fantastic experience. Our guide was a wonderful woman who was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable. Her enthusiasm made the lecture both entertaining and engaging, and I appreciated how comfortable she made everyone feel throughout the tour. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking to explore the history of Patagonia and hidden gems of Bariloche!

    A must tour for anyone who visits Bariloche. I made the mistake of waiting a week before taking this tour. It should have been done on my first day. Our guide spoke English very well and was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about her town.
