Chalten Travel El Calafate El Chaltén recent customer reviews
All of the busses are so late. Our bus to calafate was so late we couldn’t even make our bus to Chalten and we wasted $70 on bus tickets we didn’t get to use and now our plans are delayed and pushed back and we wasted money on a hotel on chalten because we didn’t even make it there to check in to our hotel. It’s impossible to get anywhere on time with the bus system in these countries. When we finally made it to calafate the workers at the chalten bus station wouldn’t even talk to us because they were “closed”. We had to find a hotel for one night in calafate at 10pm because of how late the busses were
Has the most frequent services. It was good to be able to switch to a different time as needed. The seat was spacious and comfy. The ride was smooth although they departed late and arrived late.
Wonderful bus with spacious seats, only downside was it wasn’t well heated at the time we rode but fortunately I had been wearing a lot of winter gear (we had gone to Patagonia in august)

The window at seat 29 of the bus was cracked and not properly maintained. As a result it rained inside and my clothes and seat got wet! What a disgrace for this price.. also I‘m sure this seat will get moldy due to the humidity.
My ticket said that food is included in the price but I didn't get any food
The bus were cancelled and I didn’t receive any email to say it.

Cal Tur El Calafate El Chaltén recent customer reviews
We specifically reserved seats 1 and 2 when we booked but the bus driver decided to allow 2 other passengers to occupy our reserved seats. He said all seats are free. Very disappointing. Also no one to unload bags on arrival. The baggage compartment was too high.
I was disappointed to arrive late as we had a 18 hrs bus on return so had to rush to catch the bus back which spoilt our day as we could not walk so far, it was 45 mins late on arrival!
I booked a seat and the staff said there is no seat allocation. Could not sit where I wanted
