We experienced a fantastic holiday, thanks to Cristian of Hi Travel agency. He used his thorough knowledge of Argentina and Chile to create an itinerary that perfectly suited our needs to see the special sights. Cristian listened to our inputs, then put together a package to include accommodation, bus and boat tours, car and bicycle rentals, hotel transfers, etc, etc. We pushed the "easy button" to avoid complex organizational arranging, and are absolutely happy with our vacation.

Ingrid • traveled in March
Female traveling alone from Salta>Ushuaia. All but 2 hostels (Ushuaia, Mendoza) were excellent, all the buses were incredibly comfortable (considering all night and long), and all the day tours were wonderful. I utterly enjoyed the trip. The help that I received from the tour company was great and they were very accommodating. I can only recommend this tour.

Great adventure lots of fascinating natural vistas to see. The guide Mr Gaston is exceptionally professional and genuinely caring beyond expectation. He would go out of his way to make sure you are comfortable and okay. But all was good except the Hainen hostel which is a dive. It is old and smelly. I had to force myself to sleep in that awful room.
