“Caution! MC and VISA are charged at the Dólar Banco de la Nación exchange rate. We paid just under €300 for two people for a kayak tour of less than 2.5 hours. Don't fall for it! All other companies manage to calculate with the MEP Dolar exchange rate, Viator does not. You pay 3 times as much! We will cancel all other tours with Viator that we have already booked. The tour itself was great, the staff at Feeling Patagonia super friendly! Definitely book this tour but not through Viator.”
