Its a few months now since our trip to Brazil and Argentina, but before any more time goes by we just wanted to send a note of thanks to you for arranging such a lovely trip for us. We enjoyed Brazil much more than we thought we would and were happy with the organization you did to arrange for flights, guides, etc. We were happy to be greeted on time by your Guide in Salvador and had a very interesting four days there. Rio was beyond our expectations and the trips to Cocovardo and Sugarloaf were spectacular, again our guide was on time and helpful. Our trip to Paraty and then on to the Minas Gerais area was wonderful and we feel we got to see a very different side of Brazil on that trip. Our guide/driver Oswaldo was excellent. He had a good sense of humour and was a great driver. It was a 1,400 km round trip from Rio, but having somebody drive for us made it very relaxing.
Iguazu Falls was different from anything we had seen on the trip, the falls are spectacular from both the Argentinian and Brazilian side - again a wonderful experience. We loved the Opera House in Buenos Aires and the Tango show at the Esquina Carlos Gardel was outstanding. The dinner was excellent and we were surprised that it was NOT a buffet. How nice to have a served dinner of such a high calibre which we felt was quite an accomplishment considering there were so many people there (oh yes and unlimited wine!).
The high speed boat trip to Uruguay and the little town of Colonia was well worth the trip. All our guides were very good and really looked after us very well. The guides were always on time and very helpful. We are both in our mid sixties and generally healthy, but its so nice to have a guide to take care of the details of travelling, we just sit back and enjoy. Even so, there was enough free time allotted for doing our own thing. Once again thank you for all your help and advice in planning the trip, and thanks also to Oswaldo for taking such good care of us - we had a wonderful time.
