4th Tour, 4th Amazing Adventure! I've been to Egypt, South Africa, GBTOUR, and the latest was Brazil/Iguazu. Expat caters to the exact type of traveler that I am. I want to see as much of the world as I'm able to and experience the local culture at a reasonable price. I'm not looking for luxurious hotels. That's not where I want to spend my time. I just want hotels that are clean, comfortable, in convenient locations, and safe; and that's what they deliver. Their tour guides are also very knowledgeable and personable! They really help to make the tour enjoyable. This trip started in Rio de Janiero then went to Paraty and Sao Paulo. From there we flew to Foz do Iguacu. A lot of sightseeing and some great dinners were included, plus there were optional tours. I went on most of them. Some of them seemed a bit expensive at first glance, but I think they were worth every dollar that I spent. It's also nice to not have to worry about making the arrangements or to wonder if the company I just paid money to is reputable. I saw everything that I wanted to see on this trip plus a lot of other things that I didn't even know I would enjoy so much. I almost always travel solo and have met some of the nicest people, of all ages, on Expat Explore tours. The majority are experienced travelers whose idea of travel is similar to mine. I've even kept in touch with a few of the people from each trip. I love Expat Explore's tours and highly recommend them.
Our trip ends today when we board the plane for Buenos Aires. We enjoyed our Calafate and Iguaz visits and would like to thank you for your service. We would be glad to share some of our assessments. The airport transfers were all good. We didnt wait and that prompt pick up gave us a good sense of security in a new place. The hotels at Calafate and Iguaz were superb. Weskar was also okay but too small for a party of three. Nonetheless, Weskar service was good. On the tour guide, they were all good. But it would have been better if we were properly advised on all payments to the park. Perhaps, this advisory can be included in the day to day itinerary to prepare on the cash we needed to bring because Natales isnt too friendly on credit cards. Clothing advisory the advisory on Calafate and Ushuaia were okay. But the Iguaz side can be better because we were not prepared for raincoats which were a must to visit the cataratas The 24-hour service of the tour operator was excellent. It was very helpful whenever we needed clarifications, or inquiries of our travel. One suggestion: Best to include all entrance fees to the parks in the cost. It would be less hassle cause of currency exchange issues. Again, thanks for your service. We look forward to future relationships.
my first thoughts goto kim christie, for rescueing my holiday when it looked doomed as the vessel went tech, she acted quickly and efficiently with getting me on another trip, sometimes it is not just the dream of making it on the greatest adventure in the world, but the great people behind the scenes who make it possible.
