Testimonials

Hi Alan - Yes, home safe and sound and a wonderful trip. Feel greatly relaxed and looking forward to planning another trip sometime in the near future. And now for some feedback...... - What was the highlight of your holiday? Was there a low point?

The highlight was definitely the Iguazu Falls and generally the service everywhere was exceptional and staff were overly helpful. The low but not so low point was the Hotel Loi Suites - great lobby and the rooms were great but the bar was in the pool room and full of kids and the restaurant wasn’t great. Equally, the Time Suites in Santiago were definitely past their prime and in need of a bathroom upgrade.

- How would you rate accommodation/ food/ guides/ overall organisation?

Everything worked extremely smoothly. All pickups happened and all the guides and drivers were knowledgeable, friendly and willing to go out of their way to give us a good time.
In Mendoza, the hotel offered us a better rate than the company that organised our transfers
And its possible that the other 5* hotel (Frank will give you the name) was nicer than the Hotel Casa de Uco - but this hotel was very nice too.
Hotel Terra Atacama was amazing and although expensive was definitely worth the money. I hadn’t realised that all food, drink and tours were included so that was a lovely surprise. All staff and tour guides were amazing and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend to others.

- Did you feel you benefitted the local communities?

Not sure - only in the sense that tourism brings in money.

- What would you like to do differently next time?

Enjoyed it all

- Out of interest why did you choose the places you visited and why Andean Trails to organise your trip?

Recommended by a friend.

Back home and finished all the washing!! A great trip. Thanks so much for all your organising and planning. Everything went very smoothly. We all enjoyed the trip and Patagonia lived up to our expectations. We were so lucky with the weather and all the helpful people we met.
