“They screwed up all the dates and accommodations. Got to a Refugio after hiking 10 hours only to find I had no reservation. I had to pay out of pocket and was not reimbursed. All this after paying them a $1000. Hike was great but avoid bookmundi and tangol tours like the plague.”
“I went with my partner to Machu Pichu and took the services of Kantu, from the beginning to the end they treated us as if we were the kings of the world, worried about every detail, that all the services are punctual and that we arrived on time at each station, They honestly made us feel very important and we are very grateful, the service and the experience in Machu Picchu, was simply amazing.

“We had an excellent time. Great Staff - So friendly and knowledgeable. The food was good, nature was beautiful, lots of activities, great showers, good bed. The guides were so good!! All of this for 200$ is a great value for money!”
“Machu Picchu is Machu Picchu- one of a kind. The staff on the Train were incredible - attentive, talented, funny, and caring”
Most disorganized package tour I've ever purchased

“The Bookmundi site clearly stated that bus beds were 180 degree flat beds. Instead, the seats reclined to 120 degrees. The bus attendant was insistent that the bus toilet could only be used for urinating and not for bowel movements. Yet, the trip was 18 hours from Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls and passengers were only allowed to debark once, for 5 minutes, and that was only because the bus company needed to unload a bunch of cargo in an intermediate city. We felt like we would explode inside.
The crew stopped several times and got out of the bus for breaks but made sure to lock us inside when they did. The attendant was annoyed the one and only time I asked him for a glass of water. The bus company, Crucero del Norte, is NOT in the business of serving international travellers but apparently SayHueque, the Argentine tour assembler, could care less. Totally disgusting and incompetent.”
The tour operator responded on :
“Dear Kenneth,
Hope this message finds you well.
My name is Noelia and I am the Sales Manager of Say Hueque.
We are really sad to read you Feedback about the Bus from Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls. It is the main goal of Say Hueque to create the best Travel Experiences, and we understand your expectations were not fully satisfied. We are really sorry about this.
We sell lot of buses here in Argentina, and it is the first time, we receive a comment like yours. As you may know, the bus transportation service in this package is not a touristic service, it is a public transportation service for local people and tourism, like the airlines or ferries. Despite this, here in Argentina the buses are very good compared to the rest of South América, and Crucero del Norte is one of the best companies! That is why we work with them, but after your feedback we are going to research and work to improve.
Regarding the service and the treatment of drivers, it varies depending on who the driver is, and this is something we cannot manage, but of course we will make a formal complaint to the company.
Maria and I are really sad about this. We really care, and it is our main concern, your opinion. So, of course, we highly appreciate your Feedback and we will work to improve our services.
Warm regards from Buenos Aires,
Noelia Juarez

“While its beauty grows each day, this trek is NOT a “wilderness” experience. This trek is glamping with little solitude to be found and you just have to know that going in.”
