A very nice and responsive team. They gave helpful daily updates, and were very accommodating for my mother who is a bit older and not as fast with technology. It was a great experience and the team took the time to alter a few details to fit into our tight travel schedule. Would recommend!

The Wanderful Holidays team were very helpful and had all activities very well planned. We only had one minor glitch with a transfer and this was quickly resolved. The accommodation was very good, particularly in Johannesburg and Kruger park. The drivers were excellent throughout the trip and acted like tour guides. We especially enjoyed the cultural village in Jo’burg, the safari in Kruger park, and Table Mountain in Cape Town. My only concern was that we had too much free time particularly in Capetown. As our hotel was located in a very unsafe area, we could not freely walk around without getting an Uber. However there were plenty of activities to book ourselves. I would definitely recommend travelling with the Wanderful Holidays LLC

My experience was beyond perfect! I am so glad I booked with Wanderful Holidays because they made my vacation go so smoothly. They reached out to me every day to ensure everything was going according to plan. Their team is so caring and so organized and they were so dedicated to making sure my vacation went perfectly! I highly recommend booking with Wanderful Holidays!! I had the best experience!

Standard Buenas Aires/ Iguazu Falls/ Rio de Janiero tour. The team is helpful especially with all my concerns, it’s easy to message them and the reply is quick, Kudos especially to Rose Amanda, Wendy and Lily. I requested for 2 twin beds and we got it 🙏. The Hotel Locations were centrally located in the city and we were able to walk especially in Buenas Aires and Rio de Janiero. NH Buenas Aires 9 de Julio hotel- great location, the only concern I noticed is the air conditioning is really not working well, if I’m not mistaken it is set at 24 degrees Celsius and we were there during those warm days. Breakfast is okay. Taroba Hotel, there is a grocery store and restaurants nearby. Breakfast was good especially the fruit sections. I noticed it is noisy during the early hours from 6pm to around 10pm, there is some Karoake( singing ) going on and it is loud and very difficult to sleep even with the earplugs on. B and B Hotel Rio de Janiero Copacabana I like the location of the hotel, walking distance to the Copacabana and a good walk to the Ipanema beach. A lot of restaurants and shopping areas. Breakfast is also good , I enjoyed the fresh fruits. The problem is because we are in 2nd floor and in front of of the busy Rua Francisco Octaviano street, it’s really loud and noisy not only hearing people yelling but also the traffic noise is overwhelming at night. The Balcony really is not a plus, it’s small, no chairs and is not well kept. I haven’t had the chance to be in the room without the balcony but it’s probably a better option to be away from the noisy streets below. I understand that Wendy tried to ask for a room change but it was not granted… thank you for trying. Otherwise the day tours in Buenas Aires, Iguazu Falls and Rio de Janiero were excellent. We enjoyed the experience… Roberta from Rio de Janiero day tour was great! Also grateful for the drivers, they really make sure that we are safe. Special mention to the driver that drove us from our Rio de Janiero hotel to the international airport, thank you so much for picking us earlier than what was scheduled, the driver came at 4:05pm instead of 4:30pm and it works well for the traffic was bad that afternoon, it took us 1 hour and 35 minutes to arrived at the airport. The free lunch in Rio de Janiero- excellent choice for the restaurant, Carretao! We enjoyed the Brazilian grilled food! All in all we enjoyed the experience. Thank you so much for all the hard work in making sure we are taken cared of and safe. We appreciate you all. Very Respectfully Emily

Our trip was absolutely unforgettable! We’re still talking about it two weeks later. From the moment we arrived, every single detail exceeded our expectations. There was someone waiting for us for each thing we booked, every arrival, no issues and amazing communication the whole time. It took all the stress of typical travel we’re used to away. The trip itself was incredible, the falls were absolutely breathtaking and our guide made everything seamless. Enjoying natural beauty is even better when things are seamless haha. The activities were diverse and so fun (again without the typical hassles of getting there etc.), and the local culture of each country left a lasting impression. The accommodations were so lovely, we were offered upgrades which we decided to do and again it was all handled so seemingly effortlessly which is how you know people are working hard to make your experience special. The whole team at Wanderful Holidays (people we will never even know) went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We also had the chance to explore some hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own. Overall, it was a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and immersion in the local lifestyle. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a truly amazing experience! Most importantly I recommend the company because even when/if things go awry you can absolutely count on them to help and that’s the main thing in my mind while traveling. Thank you!! From Amy and kalani :)

We asked if this was a group tour,we were told it was but this was wrong and we only had 2 group outing both with different groups. The rest of the time it was just the 2 of us. Every day we would get an updated schedule,change of hotel,change of flight,different pick up time etc. This involved a lot of waiting around in hotels and airports. It also felt like we were being down graded all the time. Overall the trip was good but won:t use wanderful again.

My wife and I went on the 18-day South America: Glaciers, Water Falls, & World Wonders tour. The tour covers a lot of geography in three countries in a relatively short period, but in a well-paced manner. We never felt rushed. The tour combines scheduled excursions with free time in a balanced manner that gives members the time and confidence to spend more time at the same or new sites. As you can imagine, coordinating such a trip can be complex, but Wanderful Holidays was up to the challenge. The service level provided by all the head office and local guides was superb. Rose and Lily in particular were excellent. They provided clear, timely, and detailed instructions all the time and whenever a small glitch occurred, which was rare, they promptly addressed it. Some suggestions for improvement would be to arrive in Rio de Janeiro (from Iquazu) at mid-day or early afternoon instead of late in the evening; don’t fly with discount airlines (the seats are far too small and have no leg room); although we stayed in four-star hotels, and upgraded to a five-star hotel in Rio, some of them did not reflect the ratings. NOI Indigo Pategonia in Puerto Natales and the Hilton in Rio fell into this category. In the former case, some of the amenities were not available and in the latter case, although the location was great, the room we stayed in was well-worn and in dire need of an upgrade. One note to those trying to decide between the Brazilian or Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls: They complement one another, as the Brazil side views the Falls from below, whereas the Argentina side views the Falls from above. Also note that when we went, the humidity was punishing (38-degrees Celsius). We did the Brazil side in the morning and were afforded cover by trees; at this time of day, you are not covered on the Argentina side.

We just returned last week from a Wanderful 21 days in South America. Wendy, Rose, Lily et al did a great job with arranging everything, including some customization – adding São Paulo to the start of our trip and a few extra days in Rio onto the end of our trip. Most of the hotels were great and the day trips we had were with reputable local providers. We didn’t have much time to plan, so really appreciated having everything organized for us. Communication was great - having just done a similar tour across Australia a few months ago with a different company, Wanderful was much better with handling logistics for us. There are a few things I would have done differently with the extra time we had - perhaps researching Machu Picchu in advance (there are different circuits that limit where you can go), an extra day or two in Cusco so we could fit in rainbow mountain and an extra day or two in Buenos Aires so we could have done a day trip to Montevideo. We did have a free day in Iguaçu, so we were able to fit in a day trip to Paraguay ourselves. When we did have issues with tour operators, Wanderful were quick to assist and I can’t stress how great that was. I do wish that bookings had been handled a bit further in advance - we only received our detailed itinerary a few days before our trip which I would have preferred at least 10 days prior. I think the only mistake they seemed to make was requesting single beds when they booked our accommodation. They did try to rectify this after the fact, which worked at some of the hotels, so I haven’t let this affect my rating of their service.
