4* & 5* SouthAmerica.Travel Reviews, South America Travel Client Testimonials

First things first…this was by far my best trip to date.. normally I plan my own trips and rarely do I avail service from any tour operator… because I wanted to cover a lot in South America in 2 weeks I thought it best to take help from a well known tour operator… all I can say is SouthAmerica.travel has been just perfect... I covered 4 countries in 2 weeks and my itinerary wasn't easy to put in place... still from the moment I landed in Buenos Aires everything from pick up service, guides, tours etc were just superbly managed… I am super impressed at how this trip was organized to perfection…I couldn't find even one flaw… the personal touch was the icing on the cake... all my guides were amazing in terms of knowledge and personal attention…

This testimonial will be incomplete if I don't mention my agent and friend izabella… I had contacted her months before my trip and right from the first day shes been just awesome… in short she was my person to turn to in case I need anything and everything…

I thank SouthAmerica.travel for making this trip my most memorable till date and also for letting me befriend a wonderful person like iza..

[Our Travel Consultant] went so far beyond customer service excellence that we felt it was our responsibility to let you know how wonderful it was to work with her over the past few months. From her first call after reading my e-mail inquiring about a possible trip to Peru and Chile all the way through her last e-mail when we returned from our vacation, [she] was extremely professional, knowledgably, and courteous... She ensured that every portion of our trip from planning to execution was amazing!

[We] would absolutely recommend your company to anyone contemplating a trip to South America.

Julie and I enjoyed a magnificant trip to Peru. All of our guides were OUTSTANDING in every regard. The accomodations at Miraflores Park and El Monasterio and Sanctuary were SUPERB. The sites we visited in and around Cusco were BREATHTAKING.

We genuinely enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for making our trip of a lifetime a reality.

It's an immense pleasure to write to you after our return from Argentina. Every aspect of the trip was terrific and better than we even expected. All-in-all we were exceptionally pleased with the organization, arrangements and especially your attention to detail and to us.

Too often [with other organizations] we have been sold a tour by a person partly as nice as you but then the follow-up is done by someone who can't pronounce our names and even more often by a rotating collection of different people who happen to answer the phone and then struggle to find our information on the computer.

You have done a magnificent job.

Paul, who is 17, has started to ask whether we will continue to take him on vacation with us! This is his way of saying that he had a great time... even my husband made the comment, 'todo estuvo al centavo'... hard to translate, but, an incredible complement (considering the source!!! just kidding!) This was one of the best trips we have ever taken. Not only was it extremely well organized, but it was incredibly fun. Being able to ask questions directly of you, the experts, was very helpful. Thank you for helping us to plan this incredible trip... it could not have been any better.

''Thank you so much!!!
The mini tour that you set up for us was way more than we expected. It was absolutely wonderful. The Hotels were great, the tours and tour guide, Junior, were the best we have ever had.
I am absolutely satisfied with your service and hope to contact you again. We are looking at an Argentina, Chile trip in a couple of years and are only holding back because we couldn't top the trip we just had. The guide you used, Emanuel or Junior just could not do enough for us and was always full of surprises and fun as well as the best learning experience we could have hoped for.
Thank you''.

”Wanted to write and thank you for planning such a wonderful trip for us !! Wish we had been able to spend even more time in some places. You chose a nice variety of hotel locations. All the guides were good, especially the young man in Brasillia. If you ever need a recommendation, please feel free to give our name. Thanks again.”

Having just retuned home from Peru, I would like to present my compliments and sincere thanks for your organisations superb service in arranging and implementing our Customised Tour. Having selected your organisation, at random on the Internet, one is always concerned whether we have selected a reputable and efficient company. You succeeded in removing all my fears and provided what one can only describe as a superb and seamless itinerary, which enabled us to enjoy it to the maximum without any concern for administrative detail, as the details for the next stage were always provided at the end of the previous one.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ney Ottoni during the last five months as our travel coordinator for a recent trip my family took to Chile.  Our experience working with him has been outstanding. Ney always responded promptly and professionally to email and faxsimile inquiries.  His tone was always friendly and responsive to our questions, concerns, and needs.  I greatly appreciated when he called me personally prior to our departure to answer any remaining questions, check our itinerary, and explain how our tour would start once in Chile.  He even helped us while we experienced a small “glitch” in our travel plans while in Chile.  He was attentive and advocated for us when we needed him most. It is with great satisfaction that I write this letter of appreciation and request that it be considered in his future evaluations.  It is in part because of Ney, his professionalism, and his regard for his customer, that I will recommend SouthAmerica.travel to any friend, colleague, and family member.

"Oi! Obrigada, Obrigada, Obrigada! We can not say "thank you" enough times. We had a wonderful time in Brazil. Everything went very smoothly and we enjoyed our vacation so much. Our tour guides were always on time and very helpful in getting us where we needed to be. Our hotel accomodations were more than adequate. The Brazilian food was very good. We especially enjoyed the continental breakfasts at each hotel. There was always a great selection of good food to sample. Our son, Christopher, even commented on how nice everything was. He asked that we keep the information on SouthAmerica.travel, which I am most definitely going to do. Someday, he wishes to return to Brazil again. We would and will give our highest praises about you and your travel agency. We will recommend SouthAmerica.travel to anyone going to South America. Thank you again for all of your help in putting this trip together for us. Our family will have very fond memories of our vacation to Brazil thanks to you! Best wishes always!"

SouthAmerica.travel made this a wonderful, magical trip we'll cherish forever. We were attended to from our arrival in Sao Paulo through our departure from there. So much was included... all transfers and many meals. The guides were well-trained and knowledgable. We love this country and this travel company!

We just returned from Rio concluding our Tango Samba Waterfalls Tour with SouthAmerica.travel and want you to know how pleased we are. The trip was wonderful. It was professionally organized and executed. We were pleased with your attention to detail. We appreciate the two extra upgrades- adding a flight to Sao Paulo and a hotel upgrade to the Orla. We can't wait for our next adventure in South America with SouthAmerica.travel.
