Brazil Group Tours

Really great trip! Marcello was wonderful & really went above and beyond. Iguazu Falls were amazing. Both sides of the falls should be seen if you go. Christ the Redeemer, sunsets, Recoleta Cemetery. all fabulous. Wish more activities were included. Seemed like a lot of "extras".

Great trip with Iguazu Falls and boat trip a major highlight. Loved The Tango show in BA and trip out to Estancia. Marcelo was a great guide. Rio is amazing and we were so lucky with the weather. Fab views from Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer and sunset at Ipenema Beach with all the people was fantastic. I think they should do an extra day in Rio. . A good group and we all had fun. Thanks Explore

The tour was a huge success in all ways and a wonderful experience. I was with a great group of people. The itinerary was good and everything was well planned. The gaps in the itinerary left free time to do individual things or join in with others. The Guide, Diego was a huge part of the success of the trip. He showed commitment to the group at all times and was always concerned for wellbeing, safety and keeping us informed. This was my first trip with Explore and I'll be travelling with them again.

Nicely paced trip with Ilha Grande a break from the cities and Paraty interesting for its history. No words to describe Iguassu Falls, just spectacular. An extra day or 2 in Rio advisable. Two nights at the rainforest lodge, Argentinian side of the Falls , would have been preferable to 2 nights at Taroba Express. Our guide Diego was very knowledgeable both about Argentina and Brazil, and struck the right balance between being professional and efficient and friendly and sociable. I would recommend adding this trip on to North West Argentina which I did before as the dates fitted. The contrasts in landscape were stunning and worth the effort of spending a month travelling.

Great tour director . Peru wonderful and trip well planned. Santiago was a bit of an anti climax after leaving the wonders of Peru , however still great and Valparaiso and wine tour fabulous. Buenos Aires amazing and it would have been great to have had an extra night. Some days we had way too much food so was a bit of a waste. Maybe cut down on a couple of the dinners. The restaurant in Cusco sensational but our final dinner in Rio was terrible. It was a bit annoying having set menus with only a couple of choices especially when you read their menu online but don’t get to experience the full range of food. I understand this can be difficult for the restaurants but they should be able to cater for large groups. Our guides were all brilliant and accomodation was fabulous. Loved the hotel in Santiago but Cusco a bit of a let down. We had a very small room at Iguazú Falls. I found the room variations in the group at the same hotel could be a bit unfair but this happened only a couple of times. These are only minor points. This was an amazing trip and it is one I will remember for a very long time. Well done Lucury Gold

This was a fabulous trip, our tour leader Diego, was brilliant. He worked tirelessly to ensure we were all safe and got the best out of our time there. I travelled in October the weather was untypical, hot, cold, wet and dry, all extremes of, so I'd recommend taking a full range of clothing. Use the laundries, washing doesn't dry in the humid air. All the hotels were fine, but none had a kettle/coffee making facilities, so if it's important to you, squeeze one in your luggage. A couple of the rooms were quite small, especially for a twin share, but manageable. The travelling between towns was ok. There's lots and lots to see and do in Buenos Aires, including lots of market stalls around the Recoleta area with handmade crafts etc. The hop on/off bus helps sort out your own explorations. And Argentina's reputation for steak is well deserved! Iguazu did not disappoint, both sides were staggering. Be sure to have a waterproof phone cover. Paraty was charming and Ihla Grande a delight sadly a bit too cold for swimming. Traffic into Rio was like the M25. Rio itself is a vibrant place. Loads of places to eat, explore, far too many highlights to fit into the time available. If you can manage an extra day at each end of this trip you won't regret it.
