    Peru to Santiago was amazing. Loved every moment of the trip from all the activities and places visited to the lovely people we met along the way. Santiago to Buenos Aires left much to be desired. Although I enjoyed the wonderful scenery, I felt this portion of the trip needs to be adjusted to allow travelers to enjoy the pace as oppose to waiting on transportation and not having time to enjoy some of the areas as it?s too rushed.

    A wonderful, cultural experience that was beyond what I was expecting. I spent a month traveling through mountains, salt flats, rural villages and cities. I saw exceptional places that would not have been possible if I went by myself. This was my first time traveling with G adventures and I could not recommend a tour more.

  • The Scenic Route - Lima to Buenos Aires reviewer 10
    · August 27th, 2019
    No heating in hotel rooms in the middle of winter and very cold weather, no hot water in most, most of the included meals were not nice, guide was not good, was charged 400 euro for an inca trail ticket by gadventures and was actually only 222 soles when I recieved the ticket. (Under 100 euro) same happened with a star gazing tour, was over charged and found out online the ticket was almost half the price. complete RIP off, do not book with gadventures, not worth the money.

    Veronica

    Asked on January 12th, 2025

    What time does the tour get into Buenos Aires on day 30 (6 Feb 2026)? The itinerary says there is a flight from San Carlos de Bariloche to Buenos Aires. What time is it scheduled to arrive? The reason is that we want to leave the tour once we get to Buenos Aires (on day 30) and join another tour on the same day as we have limited time in South America.

    Richard

    Asked on August 6th, 2024

    Are we accompanied by a guide at all times even on buses, planes and trains? Are the buses public buses or are they tour coaches and do they have toilets and air conditioning? What happens in the event of an emergency?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten August 2024

      The public buses that we use are coaches, but they do not have amenities on board, but the coaches make scheduled stops for bathroom breaks. You would need to book flights that fly into Lima and out of Buenos Aires for this trip. If you are departing from Australia, the best option would be wither LATAM (Via Santiago), Qantas or you could maybe look at Air New Zealand. There are only a couple of rides on the public bus. You have a guide who is with you the entire duration of the tour. Part of their main duty is to keep all the travelers safe. Purchasing travel insurance will also give you a bit more peace of mind.

    Jean-Yves

    Asked on July 23rd, 2024
