    Excellent experience. The itinerary was an excellent mix of cultural experiences and breathtaking landscapes. Our guide, Luciano, was fantastic, and our local guides added to the experience.

    We loved our group tour with Explore. There were only 14 on the tour which is very manageable and everyone was very fun and sociable. Marcello, our guide, was a prince of a man. He was very engaged with each of us, very protective, and always made us feel welcome and that we belonged. He spoke English, Spanish and Portuguese, which made it very easy to travel with him. Our day guides, for our Buenas Aires walking city tour, was very knowledgeable as well as our guide for the Igazu Falls on both the Argentina and Brazil sides. All the places we stopped in Brazil were perfect... small town, island, and of course Rio! Personally would always prefer staying in higher end hotels, but what we had was fine. Fortunately I was able to stay 3 days before and 3 days after in hotels that were really nice and gave time to integrate other places into our adventure. I know it is challenging to have a big group eat together at a restaurant, would just want to make sure that all the options we had were good ones. I highly recommend this trip and would do it all over again!
