South America City sightseeing Trips

This trip was amazing, and covered so much ground in a short amount of time. From sand buggying in Huacachina, a boat ride in Paracas, seeing the Nazca lines, and finally seeing Machu Picchu…. nothing short of spectacular. It was very fast paced, which was a struggle some days - especially because of the altitude changes. But definitely worth it!

It certainly was not the Luxury Gold that we expected. Hotels were excellent but the locations of the hotels were not in a place that we would feel safe walking and enjoying the surroundings. We expected luxury but it did not meet The Gold name more like Bronze!! This is my first time writing a review As many times as I have traveled all over the world! Had to get up very early as we were told after 9:00 am no way! We never felt we were on a Luxury tour except for a few restaurants but I can eat at excellent restaurants better than the ones they chose for us…after paying over $16,000 not worth the time snd money paid. Other agencies would have been a lot less with 80% of the same itinerary!!!

The tour guides were all excellent. Hotels were excellent. Food ranged from good to fair: not acceptable for Luxury Gold

The Peru half of the tour is fantastic. Machu Picchu, including the train journey and Lake Titicaca were the highlights. The organization, local guides and tour leader were the best and they made a full itinerary easy and smooth. The second half of the tour which included Chile, Argentina and Brazil fell a bit flat apart from Iguassu Falls from both the Argentinian and Brazil sides. Chile, Santiago was not a nice city and none of the places visited were interesting. It could have been easily skipped and the extra days split between Argentina and Brazil.

Santiago should be eliminated. Boring. breakfast to go from Alvear was three sweets. no protein. terrible.

The trip overall was really fun. The included Activities were fine but to get the most out of the trip you need to pay for most of the optionals. The Argentina part of the trip was less exciting especially because the optionals are mainly going to other cities but there are things to do in Argentina to keep yourself entertained. The Igassu and Rio part of the trip were amazing and so much fun so I wish that part of the trip was longer. The accommodation was good- nothing spectacular but generally clean and in nice areas! Our trip manager Abel was the best and really went above and beyond to make our trip amazing!
