Conrad is the most responsive agent of any kind that I have ever worked with. He answered promptly my many detailed questions. He was committed to preparing an itinerary that would include all of our preferences. He made recommendations for how to make the best use of our time and resources. He never hesitated or seemed to tire of revising our itinerary and flights. We are excited to be taking our SouthAmerica.travel trip to southern Patagonia later in the year. Conrad represents the epitome of outstanding customer service.

We would just like to Sinan for an amazing feat of organisation in putting our trip together. Every day we were either on a tour or travelling, but far from being rushed and stressed, this was all very smooth and relaxed. The tours were all fantastic, we have never had private tour guides before and the difference they made was outstanding. Tours were tailored to our needs and there were none of the rigidity and delays associated with group outings. We started in Rio, our guide was the excellent Pedro. Christ the Redeemer is a breath taking spectacle; but we also thoroughly enjoyed the city tours, sugarloaf, the amazing coffee shops, the Brazilian cuisine, the street stalls etc etc. Staying right on the beach in the wonderful Windsor Leme was a treat. On to Iguazu - the falls were simply spectacular; it was a shame our flight was delayed and we missed the first tour completely but the hotel (Loi Suites) was absolutely brilliant and our guide, Nani, did a fantastic job of squeezing everything into the next day. Buenos Aires was a completely different vibe - lovely city. We enjoyed staying in the heart of Recoletta, we were right next to St Lucia and the view from the top was incredible. Mendoza was all about the wine - I must admit, I lost count of how many vineyards we visited; but the meal at our last port of call (La Cayatana) was unbelievably good, many thanks to our host Eduardo - brilliant. All the wineries were so different from each other that we were never bored. All the wines were magnificent and I am sure the fantastic settings, helped. We did enjoy the horse ride and barbecue but it was so hot, I am not sure we did the great food and entertainment justice. The coach trip through the Andes to Santiago was very comfortable, and the rest did us good. Santiago, of all the cities we visited, had the greatest atmosphere. Unbelievable views nestled at the base of the Andes, great food if quite dear. We loved the trip up to the dam, spectacular setting. Looked after by Reuben and Ambro. Excellent day trip with lunch in Valparaiso and we all watched carpool karaoke with Paul McCartney on the way back which was a bit surreal. Easter Island was the pinnacle of the trip. Diane head over heels with the business class seats there and back. Very different, Moai incredible, very expensive but worth the effort. Gino was a excellent, warm hearted, effusive guide - much appreciated. Left Saturday, got back Monday night - long trip home but brilliant holiday and some great memories. Thanks once again We shall return as there is so much more to see in South America, and we will definitely be using your services once again

Jason was excellent to work with and my client's had a wonderful time!

We enjoyed our Argentina vacation immensely! The coordination with pur travel agent Annica was timely and easy. During the trip, our transfers and associated reservations executed flawlessly. I have no reservations recommending South America travel!

It was a pleasure working with SouthAmerica.travel! Cbristina did a great job. The initial proposal was excellent. When there were some availability and cost issues, she found a great solution. I was very happy. I'm excited about this trip and thank Christina for her work putting it together. Thanks!

Marty Kaleta, our travel consultant at South America Travel, has unbelievable patience and attention to detail. We have worked with him previously on another trip and everything he arranged for us was perfect. He communicates regularly with updates as you are planning your trip, so you are never left wondering what’s happening. We are now customizing a vacation to Argentina with Marty. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone that needs assistance planning a trip.

Delighted with the service we received, our itinerary ran flawlessly! The local agents were all, without exception, very professional. Everything was as described in our information pack and all the accommodation was excellent. Will be recommending them to our friends.

We used SouthAmerica travel for a Dec/January trip to Peru and Chili. We had a WONDERFUL time and had only one small timing glitch (and that was due to the local guide and NOT SouthAmerica Travel). Our accommodations were totally fine, except for the timing miscommunication, the local guides were fine; we were absolutely thrilled with our entire trip!
