Hello Mariana!
We just made it home and want to thank you for a wonderful experience in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. What an amazing trip! Perito Merino
... view more Glacier and Torres del Paine are incredible sights. The area around El Chalten is stunning. The Beagle Channel tour and the tour around Ushuaia were fun forays into nature. The hotels you chose for us were very nice and the staff at each had great suggestions regarding restaurants, shopping and sight seeing. They all made sure we felt at home. Our guides were punctual, knowledgeable, and lots of fun. The bus rides gave us the opportunity to see the real Patagonia. The next time we visit Argentina and Chile it will be with YOU. Again, thanks for a fantastic trip!

Dear Cynthia:
We have now returned from our tour of South America. We had an absolutely wonderful experience during our 4 weeks holidays discovering a new
... view more continent. I would like to thank you very much for your excellent arrangements for all our tours booked by you. Everything worked out very well with no problems and everything was on time.
Our experience at Iguazu Falls was unique and was the highlight of our holidays. The tour guides to Iguazu (Brazilian and Argentinean sides) were excellent. The Saint George Hotel in Puerto Iguazu was very clean, helpful and in a good location. Thanks for arranging the flights and tours. We will certainly recommend your company for your professional and reliable services provided. Well done!
Best regards

Hello Mauro!
I just wanted to let you know we really enjoyed our trip to Argentina in March. We enjoyed each of the areas we visited. Our travels went
... view more smoothly. Thank you so much for all the arrangements. The wine you gave to us upon our arrival was a wonderful treat - thank you so much for the thoughtfulness. We love the Argentine malbacs...
All of the three hotels worked out very well. The Finca in Mendoza was wonderful - a beautiful place to stay with a staff that was able to assist in making arrangements and had good suggestions for the area. Recoleta worked out well. Also, the staff was very helpful, the location was really nice.
The hotel in El Calafate was in a good location - overlooking the marsh and mountains (with flamingos grazing) and an easy walk into town. We enjoyed the day tours in Patagonia and the wine tasting in Mendoza. The lunch with paired wines was spectacular - overlooking the snow capped Andes. We took an earlier flight from El Calafate because we got a call from the airline and were really impressed when our ride met us at the airport in Buenos Aires earlier than originally scheduled.
Even though there was no tango festival, we got to a show and went to milanga one night, which was really fun. We also loved seeing the tango on the streets and at the street fairs.
Thank you so much for helping with all the arrangements. We would be happy to refer you to friends who may be planning a trip to Argentina.
Regards,
Phyllis

Bariloche/Patagonia, Salta and Uruguay´s Beaches |

Having been back in Sweden for 3 weeks now after our fantastic visit to Argentina, I take the time to write you a few lines. The flights back from Bue went all
... view more very smoothly. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the services you provided to us. All the reservations worked out well, be it flights, boat and bus travel, accommodations or excursions. We were able to visit Punta del Este in Uruguay and enjoy the beaches in neighboring villages. Then we traveled through Bue to Bariloche in Patagonia. The hotel was excellent with great hospitality and location on the lakeside. After a couple of days in San Martin de los Andes we arrived in Salta after some flight delays.
Nevertheless, the excursions in Salta were very interesting, Humahuaca gorge with stay over night in the picturesque village Purmamarca and the second day to the salt lake “above the clouds”. The second day we were lucky to be a small group (4 people) and to have a very good guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and shared his knowledge in a professional way – a great day.
As you might already have guessed, we are very satisfied with our stay in your beautiful country and we would like to return and explore other parts. All the best from a beautiful spring morning in Stockholm, sunshine and +4C (almost all snow is gone).
