What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Argentina
The brochure for the trip was deceptive and lacked detail regarding the duration of the activities and what was to be seen and although it said no flights were included it wasn’t clear that somebody taking this trip would have to purchase three seperate tickets which we’re almost half the cost of the tout
5-Day Trip to Ushuaia & El Calafate
Great experience of Iguazu Falls from Argentinean and Brazilian side from our tour guide Deborah. We enjoyed our city of Buenos Aires tour with knowlegible guide. We are greatful to Mariano and Pia your organization was exceptional and without any problems. George
From Buenos Aires to the Jungle & falls
We absolutely loved this tour! Right from the beginning, Eve was fantastic to work with. She responded quickly to every question and was very thorough and patient with me. She quickly adjusted when our flight to Argentina was rescheduled. All the drivers picked us up right on time. The English speaking guides were good, especially Angela at Puerto Iguazú. She was exceptional! We liked the small hotels and their friendly, helpful staff. The itinerary is a nice mix as the title says. We especially liked how flexible it is as we made a couple of small changes before booking and as I said, had to accommodate our flight schedule. Eve also booked our domestic flights with Aerolineas Argentinas. That all worked out great as well. I would highly recommend this tour and People Travel and Experience!!
