"This was our first trip to South America and we cannot say enough about the expert planning and customer service of Exploration Journeys. In the planning process, both Fred and John were extremely responsive and listened carefully to what we wanted out of the trip and they excelled in every way.
This trip was for our 50th anniversary and we wanted to experience a concert in the Teatro Colón Opera House the evening of our anniversary date. Tickets for the concert were arranged immediately. We also wanted to experience a soccer (fútbol) match in Buenos Aires and again, the tickets were secured and we attended with a small group. Both experiences were fantastic.
All of our guides were superb — friendly, knowledgeable and solicitous of our needs and comfort. The tours were well organized and we learned a great deal about the country, the politics and the fascinating people who contributed to Argentina’s history.
Perhaps the highlight of the trip was our visit to the San Lorenzo Estancia where we got to see the Magellanic penguin colony up close and very personal. Our guide was fantastic and it was the experience of a lifetime. Another highlight was the whale watch tour where we followed a mother and her calf in our boat for nearly one hour, after which time she breached and said goodbye to us.
We enjoyed so many new experiences in Argentina — the tango show, the wildlife, the architecture, the restaurants and the vibrancy of the city — that this trip will be remembered as one of the best trips we have taken. Both Fred and John were an email or call away to answer any questions and we felt comfortable throughout our trip."
