“Amazing day. We started with a tour to the national park. Martina, our guide, was at all times welcoming, warm, helpful, and explained everything beautifully at all times. The second part of the tour - the end of the world train was also an amazing experience with beautiful scenery. The last part of the tour - the Beagle Channel boat was stunning. It was definitely worth it taking the longer version of the tour. We saw beautiful scenery and stunning wildlife.”

4.Panoramic City Train Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 155 reviews · 1 hour · from $20Best value

Ride CityTrain for one hour through Ushuaia’s neighborhoods, with commentary in English and Spanish, a coffee, and photo stops at Missión Barra and the Beagle Channel Viewpoint. This is a closed-loop city tour, not a hop-on hop-off train, and the vehicle is a bus styled as a train.

“Transport was in keeping with the overall ambience advertised as a train ride (albeit a bus made to look like a train). Guide was excellent - informative and friendly explaining the sights in English and Espanol. Very good value for money ($USD20). Recommended, particularly if you have a short amount of time in Ushuaia.”

“We really enjoyed this half day experience. Our 3 year old son is obsessed with trains and loved the train ride. The scenery in the national park was stunning. Ariel our guide spoke great English. We had a problem when we booked because the Viator app had some crucial info missing from the app. This trip is not for cruise ship passengers but this information was not on the app. Latitud Ushaia Travel made sure we got back to the port on time. In future we will go direct to the company and not through Viator as they weren’t very helpful when trying to resolve the problem. Despite this I…”
