We hope to be back in Argentina in the future and will definitely book throughout Say Hueque We wanted the help of a reputable agency to plan our trip. It was a rather large trip and since we were unfamiliar with the country, needed help coordinating everything. We also were overwhelmed with all of the possible places to go and your company made it easy with their trips. Favorite hotel was Dazzler Polo and least favorite was Aeroparque Inn and Suites. The best excursions were in Ushuaia, followed by Iguaz. I really loved the hiking and paddling trip especially. The team from Antartur were amazing and Ren from Ecoturismo Iguaz was phenomenal. He used all of his connections to get us around which were key because the amount of tourists in Iguaz was substantial. The El Calafate trip could have been improved. We were scheduled to have a day of excursions, a day off, and a half day there before flying back. Because of the Christmas holiday, however, it meant that we couldnt book the excursion we wanted for the free day (Estancia Cristina) but we did a glacier boat ride. And the following day we were in El Calafate until almost 5PM. In the future, it will help for the team to ensure travelers have something to do during the Christmas holiday and to have that booked far in advance (and an earlier flight out wouldve been great). It affected scheduling for Iguaz and we were on a flight every day for three days which wasnt so fun! We hope to be back in Argentina in the future :).
This was my 5th time with Expat and all I can say is ""Wow"". The journey from Rio to Buenos Aires was spectacular and I won't soon forget it. Much of my enjoyment was due in large part to our trusty guide, Zema. His professionalism and local knowledge of our surroundings should not be overlooked and I'm happy to say that he's become a new friend. He made sure that all of our group was safe, well informed, and had fun experiences along the way. His honesty regarding our foreign curiosities and local connections were also a refreshment. Each location was amazing and it once again proves that Expat knows how to map out a proper tour. Since our trip was during Carnaval, our itinerary was tweaked a bit but it was not a problem as it came with the territory. It's just good to see that people were having a good time again in Brazil since the Pandemic. Street parties, natural wonders, beautiful beaches, and tons of food/drink were just a few of the highlights during my time in Rio. The optional Rio+ was well worth it and I'm glad I was with my fun little group during all the exciting stops. Paraty was a cute, older town where I enjoyed walking the cobblestone streets and taking in the colorful houses. Journeying into the jungle was also a delight. Sao Paolo was a big city that reminded me of my hometown of New York. Iguazu Falls is a must-see and was more breathtaking than I had imagined. The town is also a good time and reminded me a bit of Niagara Falls in NY. Spending an extra day here was a treat and relaxing. I also recommend making the trip to Paraguay. Moving onto Buenos Aires was fun too. Although we lost a day here, there was still plenty of time to see the sights and explore the Argentine city with diligence. Overall, I had a great time and since it was during Carnaval, there was an extra exciting vibe all around. A big thank you once again to Zema and Expat Explore. Cheers to another fond memory!
We loved Argentina! The people were so very kind and the parts of the country that we saw are beautiful. We really enjoyed the food. (I’m going to try my hand at making empanadas). We went on many hikes and took tons of photos. We can’t thank you enough for the planning and all the arrangements made for us. We had a truly memorable time in the beautiful Argentina.
