The tour was fantastic in Brazil, every little thing was well catered for. The only downside in Brazil was the dinner and entertainment additional tour. The place was massive and the seats were crammed in. This made the lines for food intolerably long which was a shame, the food was ok quality and a great variety but the long lines meant your companion was half way through their meal when you eventually sat down. The entertainment was nice but a little too long in duration I felt. The Santa Theresa Tour was cancelled due to unrest and I understand this is unavoidable, however, it may have been nice to be offered an alternative. Gio our Tour Director did a super job of making suggestions for things to do on our own. In Argentina there was very little in organised touring which was a shame. The city was wonderful but the option of going horse riding was not for me nor going out in a boat Tigre Delta as it was too cold. A city tour of the whole day instead of half day might have been more beneficial here. That said Buenos Aries was wonderful. Be my guest was the highlight of this leg of the tour - don't miss it!

Premium Patagonia (14 destinations)This was a well put together itinerary. Constance was in constant communication to make sure everything went smoothly. The hotel where I stayed, Las Hayas, was very very good. They had free hikes, archery, and some other stuff to participate in, but I was too lazy to do them. Lol. The free shuttle to the city center was great, as this hotel is basically in the mountains with an amazing view of the town. The boat ride out in the beagle channel was kool. You get great views of the mountains and end up at a lighthouse. The national park portion was nice also. The optional train ride offered a lot of information about the area. You get better views of the Andes. The other part to drive by the lakes was relaxing. The lunch (not included) was slamming. I had the lamb. My taste buds were in a frenzy. After that you had a free day to explore the town or just chill. It was cloudy when I was there, but the few breaks when the sun shines really provides an awe and grandeur of Ushuaia. I would do this tour again. It takes the hassles out of planning things if you're lazy like me.
