What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Argentina
The brochure for the trip was deceptive and lacked detail regarding the duration of the activities and what was to be seen and although it said no flights were included it wasn’t clear that somebody taking this trip would have to purchase three seperate tickets which we’re almost half the cost of the tout
5-Day Trip to Ushuaia & El Calafate
Great experience of Iguazu Falls from Argentinean and Brazilian side from our tour guide Deborah. We enjoyed our city of Buenos Aires tour with knowlegible guide. We are greatful to Mariano and Pia your organization was exceptional and without any problems. George
