The itinerary was as expected although some of the details were out of date or obsolete. An up to date review would be useful. Lucie, the Explore Leader was exceptional!

Argentina Patagonia and Chile had been on my bucket list, and this itinerary by Trafalgar is well balanced starting with the cosmopolitan elegance and history of Buenos Aires, giving the greater number of days to exploring the extraordinarily stunning beauty of Patagonia, and closing with beautiful Santiago de Chile surrounded by the Andes. I did add two extra days to explore Santiago.

The only reason I would not take another Collette tour is the ridiculous request for excessive tipping of the tour guide and bus driver. I expect that you should pay your employees a fair wage and if I want to tip I will decide how much. Many of us on the trip thought this was an embarrassment to Collette. Highlight of the trip.......watching a sea turtle lay eggs on the beach!

Just finished my Costa Rica Trip and had the best time ever!! If you are considering it DO IT!!! I’ve been on many many group tours and this was by far the best I have done to date! The group leader - Elmer, honestly made the trip and just went above and beyond in every possible way to ensure we were having a good time! Will definitely be booking another Intro trip soon as it was the best two weeks ever!
