"The attention to detail and prompt communications resulted in the smoothest, most stress-free trip we have ever taken.
The whole experience was amazing."
"Exploration Journeys gave me the gift of peace of mind, exactly what you need on vacation. I so appreciated the attention to detail, as that can make or break a trip (especially with kids)."
"We were 22 people, ranging in ages from 8 to 80, traveling to 4 cities in twelve days. So seamless and easy, I wish I could have them with me for all my travels from now on!!!"
"Exploration Journeys provided a wonderful, stress free experience.
Not one single hiccup during the 23-day journey. Fred crafted an itinerary that dovetailed beautifully with our needs."

"Fred of Exploration Journeys must have his phone superglued to his hand because whenever we had a request he almost immediately responded-regardless of the time and day."

He immediately responded with effective action in finding flights for continuing our journey. It is not an overstatement that he saved the latter part of our vacation!"
"When one of our bags did not arrive in Iguazu, Fred was able to trace it immediately and arranged delivery to our hotel within a few hours."

TRIP REVIEW OF MIKE & CARMELLA DEGENHART
"We have traveled quite extensively in the past and made most of our own travel plans. We don't like to travel with group tours, we would much rather go wherever we want to, on our own time schedule.We decided to go to Argentina, because we love the Argentinian Malbec Wine and we'd never been to South America.
We got on the internet to start researching where to go and what to see. We knew we wanted to go to Buenos Aires, but knew very little about the country.
We came across the Exploration Journeys website and started looking at the individualized itineraries and the testimonials. I couldn't believe how much there was to see in Argentina. We checked out other sites online but kept coming back to Exploration Journeys and we are so glad that we did!
We decided that we wanted to see the Moreno Glacier in El Calafate, the Andes Mountains in Bariloche, the Iguazu Falls, and Buenos Aires. We quickly realized that we couldn't possibly put a trip like this together ourselves so we contacted Exploration Journeys by email and Fred, the amazing Fred, responded immediately.
Fred worked with us every step of the way booking our hotels, domestic flights, transportation to and from airports, and private guides. This trip turned out to be the trip of a lifetime - absolutely unforgettable thanks to Fred! Fred had everything arranged from cars waiting for us when we landed, terrific private guides and a couple of group excursions like trekking on the glacier and whitewater rafting on the Manso River.
Even when we had a flight delayed, we simply called Fred to let him know and he made the necessary changes for things to continue to run smoothly. Fred sent us a detailed trip itinerary that was excellent. He also sent a travel booklet containing all of our vouchers, restaurant suggestions in each location, travel tips and the local phone numbers for any emergency. It even had information on what to pack, clothing we would need, even information on tipping, it was all so helpful.
Fred is a perfectionist and it shows. He planned our customized two week trip from beginning to end and it was absolutely perfect! We can't wait to visit again and we will definitely contact Fred to help with the planning. We tell all of our friends about Fred and Exploration Journeys and they are amazed to find out that we were able to get a trip customized for just the two of us. I would highly recommend Fred and Argentina Exploration Journeys if you are planning to visit Argentina. I don't think our trip would have been as wonderful as it was, if we hadn't used Exploration Journeys."
