    The tour guide was excellent and dealt with every member of the group well. However, the add ons, extra payment for transportation and meals should have been clearly stated in the description.

    Fantastic tour, met some terrific people (group of 24) and the tour had everything in terms of optional add-ons and itinerary. Would highly recommend Contiki again for anyone young in their 20s looking for a packed experience with a group of like-minded travellers, never a dull moment. Abel, our tour guide, was also exceptional!

    I had a brilliant time on this trip! So much fun. Great locations and very well organised. The guide was great and someone I will be very sad not to see again. Thank you. It was a trip of a lifetime! Only comment would be that the optional extras were a little pricey but they were all well organised. Shall have to start saving for the next... Imogen x

    I had the most amazing trip with Contiki, I love to travel and I am so bummed I haven't been doing it with Contiki the last 4 years. Our tour guide, Flor, was amazing. She was knowledgeable and having someone who could arrange everything for us, tell us the history of where we're going. The transportation was awesome to have included and our group was literally so much fun. I wish I could have spent more than 8 days with them because it was a truly family atmosphere after. We were able to have a house party where they cooked a home cooked Brazillian meal for us and had surprise Samba dancers! I got to see so many more attractions going with Contiki than I've ever seen on my own. I just wont do it any other way again....until I'm married.

    An incredibly well put together tour that highlights all of the best parts of Argentina and Brazil! It is very high energy so it is more of a trip than a vacation, but well worth it as there is a lot to do that you wouldn't want to miss. Everything from the activities to the accommodations was very well selected.
