Stephanie S. | Traveled in July
I loved all of the excursions that we went on, especially the boat ride at Iguazu Falls. Everything was well planned and organized. I felt completely safe at all times. Our tour guide () was amazing and always kept us well informed.
Ann B | Traveled in July
What set this apart was the CEOs (Oscar and Flor). They really made this tlwhole trip easy. They relayed all the information so you could just relax and enjoy the holiday. Their experience, knowledge and support was invaluable to make this a holiday to just sit back and relax. They made all the travel, border crossings and activities seem so easy but the amount of work they do behind the scenes to enable all of this, I give them a lot of credit.
Carly F. | Traveled in July
Had the most wonderful family experience making core memories. Enjoyed by my family ranging from age 6 to 78. Cannot say enough great things about , our guide who made us feel welcome, safe, comfortable and was always one step ahead with information. He was complemented by a wonderful team of local guides each excited to share their culture and knowledge. Highlights were the food, tango, walking along the beach, sunrises in Rio, Christ the Redeemer (not too crowded), and the mist of Iguasu falls.
Alan | Traveled in July
Great trip especially the Amazon. Diego was a great tour leader and Victor was also excellent. its quite expensive though. last year I had to cancel the same trip at the last minute and was disappointed that explore did not give me any credit or repayment as I am a regular and loyal customer. the group was small and i would have preferred a bigger more lively group ideally. But Brazil is fab.

I really enjoyed the trip. The guide () really went above and beyond to make everything special. He even helped organise activities that weren’t on the itinerary. There were a few flights within the tour that were too late in the day resulting in a wasted day. Every place we went to was amazing. I wasn’t overly happy with the local guide at Iguazú Falls, but everything else was great
Emma | Traveled in June
Amazing Trip! Fitted in so much in the 10 days with our Itinerary while still having free time to fit in our own activites. Got to experience the best of each place.
