Hi Ursula, We had an amazing trip! Your company has been recommended to us by friends - Daniel & Lindsay Berman. The best of traveling with you was the convenience of having all arrangements taken care of in advance! The Legado Mitico is our favorite hotel - great location, really comfortable and interesting room. Our favorite excursion was the Big Ice in El Calafate. But we also really enjoyed the Iguazu excursion and the Polo Day. The polo day was great. It was way more fun than we thought it would be and also had some of the best steak we had the entire trip. Our guide Gaston at Iguazu Falls was excellent. Helped us rebook to an earlier flight and was also really knowledgeable about the site. At least a couple of comments, for improvement: We were not impressed with our hotel in Calafate (Mirador al Lago) - the room was tiny with a parking lot view and the room fridge did not work. We were also disappointed with the wine tour in Mendoza - since we were in a guided car tour, we had hoped to visit wineries farther from our hotel rather than ones within biking distance (especially since we did a self-guided biking tour the next day). We also thought having a separate guide for the wine tour was unnecessary since each winery did their own tour; just a driver would have been sufficient.
"Now that we are back I just thought to write to you and thank you for the amazing trip and the organisations you did. First of all Argentina is amazing and I wish, really wish you guys know it despite the financial and political incompetence everyone complained about. About the trip: My background is biology, so you can imagine how excited I was seeing all the biological and geographical diversity in Ushuaia and then in Iguazu... Everything about the tours in Ushuaia and Iguazu was well managed and was great (even one day there was a mix up with the tours in Iguazu but at the end it was sorted and even became super special). We had no issue with the luggages etc.,. Thank you. There was only one small thing that I thought to tell you about: the hotel Mil810. It was a bit annoying, there were several issues with it, one was that the walls that are super thin, so I could hear everything happening in the next door (the snoring, the showering and even when they brushed their teeth, I could not sleep due to the snoring of the man next door :D). The internet was super unstable and even one night we did not have any and also their breakfast was super super basic. Yet these could be temporary issues and also maybe there in Ushuaia internet might be an issue in general but I thought to let you know anyways. But again, all and all it was an amazing trip and everything went smoothly and I hope to be back to Argentina one day again...."
AAA - Patagonian Highlights Saw a lot of Argentina and Chilean Patagonia . Trip Notes accurately reflected the activity days, the two long walks are challenging and taking trekking poles is a must ( if you normally use them ) . The end couple KMs of both walks are steep uphills so may be a bit harder for some. However you can turn back / drop out of the final section if you wish .
