Jan 7 - Jan 25, 2026
This was such an amazing trip, it will take a while to fully review.
All the transportation was excellent with only two small exceptions. Our standout driver was Nico in Mendoza
All the hotels were perfect and all had great staff, facilities and location. Our standout hotel was Hotel Eco Boutique Bidasoa, with Blanca Patagonia Boutique Inn being a close second. Everywhere we were well welcomed. Casa Glebinias was absolutely lovely and Casa Sur Ricoleta well located.
Our guides were excellent and our standout was Andrea in Mendoza.
The wineries were wonderful and our favourites were Santa Rita, Bodega Benegas, but Luigi Bosca was the standout for sure.
Other tours were great with the standouts being touring the markets and cooking with Chef Tatan in Santiago. It was truly amazing! We also loved the Captain’s Table cruise to the glaciers in Patagonia - what an experience! The ranch in Buenos Aires was lovely and the Gala Tango show was very enjoyable.

Activity Reviews
This was a real standout day. Chef picked us up at the hotel and took us to the markets. He was a wonderful guide, providing so much information. Then we went to his beautiful apartment and were taught how to make ceviche. After that we enjoyed a delicious lunch on the balcony overlooking the city and the mountains. We enjoyed excellent wines and listened to great stories from our convivial host. Highly recommend.
When we arrived we were a bit concerned as the lines were so long, but once we were directed to the special boarding area all that changed. After being escorted to the private cabin we were offered drinks and settled in. The whole day was fantastic from the service, commentary, food, wine and spectacular views. Lunch, in a private dining room, was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the guanaco stew which was hearty and very tasty. Highly recommend
I’m especially glad that all the staff from our team and the services in each destination, as well as the wineries, cooking experience, and glacier cruise, left such wonderful memories. It sounds like every part of your journey was memorable!
