Nearly all of the guides were wonderful. I don’t remember the name of the guide who took us to El Chaltén but we appreciated that he took us seriously as trekkers and suggested a slightly longer trek with beautiful views. We thoroughly enjoyed that trek! And we also were very happy with our guide in Tiera del Fuego. She was very lively, knowledgeable and provided us with a couple of wonderful hike and a delicious lunch. We loved all she knew about the birds, trees and geology on the area.
First time traveller with Dragoman and I thought the whole trip was amazing - I would recommend overland travel to anyone who is fit and able as I think it is one of the best ways to see a country plus it's also fun doing the cook groups and campsite nights with the other travellers and getting to know them round a campfire.
Overall, I had the most wonderful experience (completely life changing). Really the only negative feedback is about how rooms were allocated in hostels/hotels. So often, couples would receive their own private room (often with private bathroom) or placed with one other couple. Meanwhile, the single female travellers often ended up in large dorm rooms.
