Antonella and Helena made planning our dream Patagonia trip such a great experience! They made sure we got the best possible plans and also helped us through our visa processes which would have been impossible task without their constant support! We highly recommend letting Say Hueque plan your trip- days in Patagonia can be very hectic and having transfers, accommodations, tickets etc reserved for you makes everything a lot easier and seamless and allows you to enjoy the place without sweating the small stuff…Antonella and Helena made that possible for us! We’re so do grateful for this beautiful vacay and we’re 100% going to be back for more!!!

Nearly all of the guides were wonderful.
I don’t remember the name of the guide who took us to El Chaltén but we appreciated that he took us seriously as trekkers and suggested a slightly longer trek with beautiful views. We thoroughly enjoyed that trek!
And we also were very happy with our guide in Tiera del Fuego. She was very lively, knowledgeable and provided us with a couple of wonderful hike and a delicious lunch. We loved all she knew about the birds, trees and geology on the area."

Initially before booking the trip I thought it was extremely overpriced.
However(our tour guide) was fantastic. He made the trip worth every penny and was extremely organised and knowledgeable. The locations were great, and the activities were really cool.
was a fantastic character, and became a friend by ensuring we all had fun. He looked after and catered for everyone’s needs and requirements, promoting safety above all else, and more than once went the extra mile to ensure we all had a great time (joining myself at CrossFit and his traditional dance moves were personal highlights).
I hope he gets the recognition he deserves, as I would love to book a similar trip with Contiki in future because of this great experience.
I would also recommend that you include huacachina in future - I went there on my own and it was one of the coolest experiences - maybe this could be added as an extra at the beginning of the trip.

It is truly an experience that should be cherished and embraced at least once in a lifetime. We were incredibly fortunate to have been blessed with a sunny day, which enhanced the perfection of every moment.
This was my 5th Contiki and it was another unforgettable experience. The trip manager () was excellent, a true expert in all things South American. My only constructive comment is linked to the number of days spent in Buenos Aires. The add ons and city were disappointing compared to the rest of the trip. I can't believe we spent so long there. I would have much rather spend more time in the Amazon or in Rio.
We had an amazing trip!!! The company in Uyuni Damayatur went above and beyond for us! We also loved our driver in La Paz- and Nirco our tour guide too- so informative. We also really enjoyed Nilo our guide for the Mashaquipe Ecolodge and our tour there! It was a treat to be in the city for Gran Poder as well. Great trip! Highly recommend!!!
The tour and the guide provided by the team were amazing. Their knowledge of the region and the Perito Moreno Glacier was invaluable, and I felt well-informed about what to expect during my visit. Great job.
Thoroughly enjoyed the trip with our amazing guide Anderson! He spoke English very well and took into consideration my dietary needs (gluten/vegetarian) at every food stop. Accommodation was good and the activities were a lot of fun, highly recommended! Thanks Anderson =)

The trip was really good with lots of standout places and experiences. Our trip manager was brilliant. He was friendly and knowledgeable and made everything easy. Some of the accommodation wasn’t the best (poor showers, uncomfortable beds, no safety lock box, no elevator) but for the most part acceptable.
