Reviews of Small Group tours to Argentina
- 12 Days - Classic Argentina
The tour was well organized. The drivers came on time to pick us up to get to and from the airport and tour guides were well informed. The hotels were very nice and clean. Iguassu was very impressive, as was Calafate, and the tango show in Buenos Aires. Very enjoyable tour. I definitely would do it again. Be prepared for a lot of walking.
- 3-Days Iguazu Falls Tour of the Argentinian and Brazilian Side
Great 2-night tour of Iguazu Falls! Marilda was extremely helpful and friendly when booking. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The hotel (Mercure) was convenient and comfortable. Absolutely recommend for anyone with a quick stopover in the area.
