Camila was our planner and we loved working with her. Great suggestions and local insights, very communicative, and answered our many questions. Helped us build an incredible trip.
Our guides were invaluable and made traveling comfortable and smooth. This was especially helpful since our Spanish is limited and basic. From airport arrival to drop off to everything in between we felt completely taken care of.
Hotels were amazing with one exception- did not care for the Novotel Buenos Aires but it was only for our last night after we arrived back from Antartica and were flying home the next day.
We loved Buenos Aires and all the activities from neighborhood tours to food tours to the incredible Tango show Camila set up (others we talked to about the shows they went to that they coordinated through their hotels had lesser experiences so we were lucky to have an insider like Camila).
We also flew to Mendoza for an incredible 4 days - Camila set everything up and even adjusted our schedule back in BA when a flight was changed. In Mendoza we once again had an outstanding experience with our Guide Lucia and driver Gozalvo- wine tastings, an incredible lunch at Zonda, horseback riding, a cooking class where we made and ate empanadas! We loved all of it.
Then we connected with our separately planned cruise to Antarctica.
The handoff and return were seamless. When the inevitable bumps, delays and curveballs came, we had a local agency we could WhatsApp with and Flora was amazing. Everything flowed smoothly. I can’t emphasize enough how helpful it was to have this service. It made all the difference for us having an incredible bucket list trip that flowed smoothly.
We absolutely loved it!
Hotel Reviews
Novotel Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires
Location is the best thing going for this place. Room was hot and AC weak. Seems like a previously top notch hotel that is frayed around the edges and a bit run down. Staff was good but not the standard of other places we stayed. Would not come back
Posada Verde Oliva
Coquimbito, Maipú
Perfect place to stay in Mendoza! Room was quaint and comfortable, breakfast was awesome, coffee was great, staff was amazing, pool was a nice refuge on hot days. Will stay here again when we come back.
Palladio Hotel Buenos Aires—MGallery
Buenos Aires
Incredible experience- would stay here again without hesitation. Felt like an oasis. Great breakfast, very comfortable room, nice bar, great location. Loved it

Palermo Food Tour
Buenos Aires
Very cool tour of a hip part of Buenos Aires with Freddy. Also got some fun facts about the neighborhood while there. Every place we went was great. Loved the insight into great little restaurants and would go back to many of them when back in Buenos Aires. Ate too much but really enjoyed it.

Cooking Time at Casa del Visitante in Santa Julia Winery
Mendoza
What a fun experience! We did it with another couple and had a blast. Made empanadas and bread and a dessert I can’t remember the name of. Delicious. Then we walked over for a tour of the winery. This is a bigger, more industrial type winery but fascinating and the tour guide was great! Very informative and we loved the young wines and the tasting (but was not a fan of the sweeter wines). Then back for an incredible lunch. But the portions were huge and we were so full we couldn’t really enjoy it fully. Very fun and would do it again for sure!

Lujan de Cuyo Wine Experience
Mendoza
We had the most incredible day. We started at the Alta Vista Winery and it was incredible. Great tour, super informative and great wines. Then onto Bodega Vistalba - beautiful winery with excellent wines. Finally a lunch and wine at Zonda. Absolutely incredible meal! Wines were excellent. Toured the organic garden. As
Big foodies, this was one of the highlights of our trip to Mendoza. Love the whole day and our love for Argentine wines is redoubled. Again, our guide Lucy and driver Gonzalvo we fantastic. We were chauffeured around so comfortably and loved talking to them and getting to know more about their home and the region

Sunset Horseback Riding in Mendoza
Mendoza
The best part was the ride and sunset. Our guide was great and explained some of the flora and fauna of the region. We are horse people and really enjoyed it although the riding was very “trail ride” oriented. The BBQ afterwards was mediocre and a bit too long. Enjoyed it for the experience of being out there and seeing the landscape, horses and sunset

Tango Show & Dinner at La Ventana
Buenos Aires
Loved this show. Meal was great. Waiters and staff were brusque but efficient. Dancers were incredible. We sat with another couple we’d just met and had a great time. We felt lucky we went to this show as other tourists we met went to other shows through their hotels that were mediocre. This one was excellent
Buenos Aires Barrios Tour
Buenos Aires
Very cool to see the different neighborhoods and to see some of the highlights of each. Loved the insider perspective. We were able to hit the Changing of the Guard at the Metropolitan Cathedral just right and learned a lot about the history of Argentina while driving. Enjoyed Choripan in La Boca and many other experiences. Just wish we could have had more time.
