Argentina Travel Testimonials

Dear Spencer,

Thanks for all your help both before and during our vacation to make this one truly memorable.

Overall wow! We had a wonderful time in Argentina! Buenos Aires IS the Paris of South America. We especially enjoyed the wonderful Tango and Dinner show at Esquina Carlos Gardel - what great, great food and wonderful performances of the many faces of Tango. This was a great choice on your part. And we met travelers from all over the world, which was truly one of the many highlights of the trip.

Mendoza, the wine country, was beautiful. The wineries are stunning in their grand architecture and the view over the vineyards of the mountains, including the highest mountain in the Americas, was stunning. The guides you chose were informative and charming and made the tours that much better. The Vendimia festival was also out of this world. Two parades with the queens and gauchos - it was all so festive. The finale festival with the fireworks was fabulous.

Overall, you did a fantastic job and made our vacation wonderful. We'll be using your services again on our next trip to South America.

Sincerely and thanks,

Hi Silvana,

Thanks for organizing a seamless and hassle-free trip for me. I had an unforgettable trip to South America. Everything worked like clock-work. All the transfers were great and the guides were all very experienced and gave very good insights into the history of the places that we were visiting. Machu Picchu was truly a magical experience and it still stumps me that the Incas built it with their bare hands in the 14th century. It is truly a real marvel. The trip ended on a high note with Machu Picchu and the excellent accommodation I had at the Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel. Everything about it was just perfect.

I was also very fortunate to be able to catch the final championships at Carnaval 2012 in Rio de Janeiro. The Sambadrome was full of energy that night. I also enjoyed the Tango show in Buenos Aires. They were great shows not to be missed.

I would highly recommend Latin America For Less to friends and family who want to visit the continent. Overall, I think the highlight of this trip is definitely Peru. I loved the whole experience there and the charming people made all the difference! They were all so friendly and helpful. Thanks for the well-executed trip it was really a trip of a lifetime. Thanks for the memories.

Warm regards,

Hello Kelly,

We visited Argentina thoroughly during the recent month of February. Starting from the Iguazu Falls, we visited Buenos Aires for a week finishing with 10 days in Patagonia. We started in Puerto Madryn and on through Bariloche and El Calafate before ending in Terra del Fuego at Ushuaia.

Argentina for Less organized our tour very efficiently and in 3 weeks of travel we met with no problems. All hotels, starting from the Forcadell Apartments in Buenos Aires, were comfortable and well equipped without being luxurious. When required by our schedule, early check-ins were provided.

The excursions were all punctual and thoroughly professional with the right amount of time dedicated to each venue. We are very satisfied with our trip and, hopefully, will use Argentina for Less should we return to this lovely country in the future.

Dear Spencer and Latin America For Less Team,

Thank you so much for your expertise in arranging this magnificent itinerary for my cousin and me. We had a brilliant time, enjoying every second of the wonders of both Southern Chile and Southern Argentina. Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego, especially, will live in us forever.

Both you and your team took away all the difficulties and concerns a traveler may have when embarking on a trip. Your local contacts could not have been better and they never dropped us off someplace without following up with the next day's instructions, pick-up times, etc. Everyone was professional and, most importantly, trustworthy. They took care of all the logistics, freeing up the short time we had for this trip to enjoy the sights of Patagonia.

We could not be more pleased about choosing your company to help us with this trip and will definitely be in contact for the future!

Best,

Hi Jennie,

Rio was fantastic along with the Carnival. Rio is a very exciting place to be visiting around Carnival time.

Our guide, Suzanna was really nice and full of information. Our tour was great.

The best part of the whole tour was being met and greeted at the airport, and taken to the hotel. It made traveling so much easier and a happier experience. Then being met at the hotel and taken to the airport was also great.

Iguazu Falls was a wonderful place. The hotel was absolutely fantastic and the people very friendly and helpful. The tour to the falls was really good too. Carlos was a great guide.

Buenos Aires hotel was fabulous too. Diana, our tour guide, was really nice and very informative. We had a great night at the Tango show, even though it was very commercial. I personally would have preferred a little cafe somewhere where they had someone dancing the Tango - but the show we went to was good all the same. We were met by Juna, who was wonderful and very helpful.

Cusco was amazing and the hotel was fantastic, again the staff was very friendly and helpful. We were met by Brynna at Cusco airport and she was lovely and very helpful. We had a half day tour of Cusco which our guide was lovely and very good.

Our second day tour was to the Sacred Valley, which was fabulous. Clara our guide was very good, full of information, and very helpful. Lunch wasn't included, but we decided to participate and it was great and the atmosphere/restaurant was beautiful.

Our hotel in Ollantaytambo was fantastic and very comfortable (especially with the upgrade). The hotel being right in the railway station was great and very handy in the morning!

All breakfasts at each hotel were fantastic! We didn't have a favourite part of our trip - it was all so good!

Thank you for everything,

Hi Nikoline,

Our trip was absolutely amazing!!! We especially liked the schedule we had and the places we visited; we had enough time to see everything we wanted and some free for our own. In general we loved everything about it.

Our favorite spots were the Iguazu Waterfalls and the Glacier Perito Moreno in El Calafate. Transfers and tours were very good in general. Thanks for everything and for putting this vacation together for us.

Hi Kelly,

We had a fabulous time in Argentina. Thank you for all you did in planning our itinerary and working with us; you were prompt in your responses to our questions, made any changes we requested quickly and efficiently, and were very pleasant to work with. Each of the hotels you recommended was excellent, and all of the flight arrangements and airport/hotel pickups went well. We will definitely recommend you and Argentina For Less. And we found the guidebook you sent us so handy!

The guide to Peninsula Valdes spoke excellent English, provided lots of interesting information, answered all questions, and couldn't have been better.

Hello Nikoline,

We had a great time on our trip. All of our transfers were on time and our hotels met our standards. Nikoline was extremely helpful and diligent in planning all aspects of our trip.

Hi Kelly,

We had an amazing time on our trip. Patagonia and Iguazu Falls were definitely the highlights! Both places are absolutely stunning in very different ways. We instantly fell in love with the small town charm and warmth of both places! We absolutely loved the 4x4 tour in El Calafate and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Rio and Buenos Aires were also fantastic! The Copacabana beach and Sugar Loaf Mountain were beautiful. We loved the Buenos Aires city tour which covered much of the very interesting political history of the country. All of our tours and hotels were great, and everything ran seamlessly. The many transfers to and from airports were always on time. We didn't have a single thing to worry about the whole trip! Thanks to Kelly for all of her help planning the trip and for answering my never-ending list of questions.

This is the second time we have booked a trip with Latin America For Less and we will definitely book our next South American adventure with you again!

Thank you,

Hi Kelly,

Our trip was fantastic. Overall, our experience visiting all the places in the two countries was well worth the cost, both in terms of money and time taken to get there. In fact, this was the most expensive holiday we have ever had, and given that we travel/vacation three or four times a year in different parts of the world, this is saying something! But, well worth it. South America, for a lot of us in my part of the world, is one of those continents we probably ever get to once in a lifetime.

So, what did we enjoy the most out of everything we did? Without a doubt, we enjoyed the following, although not necessarily in order:

1. The tango dinner and show in Buenos Aires. We have seen all kinds of cultural stuff in different countries, including the flamenco in Spain, but the tango beats them all. The food was great, and the show was even better.

2. The glacier trekking in El Calafate. Awesome, awesome. We would not have done ourselves justice if we hadn't gone, as we wouldn't have experienced it anywhere or any other time.

3. Machu Picchu. Of course. It was definitely another of those "Oh-My-God2 moments. I cannot say much more about the place, except I sat and wondered how on earth the Incas ever did this...and wondered how the world would have been different if such a society had continued to flourish.

4. The Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu. Wonderful luxury, marvelous food, and great people that we met on board.

5. El Calafate overall was lovely. If anything, I would suggest that for your future travelers, they should go to Ushuaia first and then culminate their travel in El Calafate.

I have since we came back, given your agency website/contact to two other friends who are now keen to make their way to South America. I am overall really pleased with the service you have provided for my family and I and do appreciate all the communication we have had.

Again, thank you for making our Argentina and Peru holiday a wonderful experience.
