Our whole trip to Argentina was a memorable experience It was a great pleasure meeting Martin in BA and giving us lots of very good advice for things to do during our visit to the city. Our favourite excursion was, of course, to Iguazu Falls - it is a truly magnificent site. We also had a wonderful time in BA, exploring some of the historic sites and museums, meeting the friendly, local people, eating the local food and drinking the local wine. We stayed in L'Hotel in Palermo Soho and we enjoyed it, especially the friendly reception staff. Our only major excursion with a tour operator was to Iguazu Falls, and this was the major highlight of our trip. We will always remember it. All guides and drivers assigned by the company were punctual, very friendly and knowledgable. All pickups went like clockwork. Martin was our favourite. We enjoyed talking to him and listening to his advice during our pickup and drop off at EZE. Everything on our tour was exceptional. Our whole trip to Argentina was a memorable experience. Tomorrow, I will be interested to see the result of the Boca/River match. Best wishes and many thanks for your service!
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 learning how to spearfish, canoeing, sleeping in a hammock and spending a night at a homestay! A VERY genuine and unique expeirence in the middle of the Amazon jungle!
