  • D

    Dawn

    Asked on January 28th, 2026

    What is the difference between a private hostel room for two and hotel double room. Do each have their own bathrooms?

    Accommodation
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten January 2026

      A private room in a hostel may or may not have a private bathroom depending on the destination or the hostel availability at the moment. The hotel room will always have a private bathroom.
      However, the main difference between staying in hostel or hotel is the vibe from the accommodations.
      Hostels are more informal bustling with energy, mostly chosen by young people/budget travellers.
      And staying in a hotel has a more relaxed and quiet setting, it´s more traditional and familiar.

    Asked on January 6th, 2026

    I'm disabled and would upgrade to the hotel but how suitable is your tours for disabled people. I can walk but not far.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten January 2026

      We'd be very happy to check how suitable the tours would be for you. To do so, may I kindly ask a bit more about your mobility, so we can make accurate arrangements with each tour provider?

      • Do you use a wheelchair, or do you walk independently?
      • Approximately how long or how far are you comfortable walking (for example, a few minutes, short distances with breaks, etc.)?
      • Do you require any additional assistance or adaptations?

      This will help us review each tour in detail and recommend the best options for you, or suggest alternatives if needed.

    • G

      Gloria

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      I walk with a stick and can walk for approx 15 minutes before requiring a rest. However the more I walk the weaker I will become so I would say about an hour a day in total for walking.

      I don't need any other adjustments.

      My carer would be with me in case of any issues and to assist.

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten January 2026

      I'll get in touch with our local operators to review each tour in detail. I want to make sure everything is realistic and comfortable for you.

      As soon as I have clear feedback from them, I'll get back to you with precise information so you can decide with confidence.

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten October 2025

      The deposit for the trip is 20% of the cost, if you book it more than a month in advance. Yes, american citizend need a visa to enter brazil. You should apply for it if you want to enter the country. It shouldn't cause you any trouble, as far as we know.

    Asked on October 19th, 2025

    we are interested in the 17 day Rio to Santiago but we do not need accommodations in real. Could we start the tour when you are leaving Rio de Janeiro? If so, what is the price please

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten October 2025

      First Id like to note that our tours are for independet travelers and not group tours. And our tours can be adapted upon choice, so if you want the day tours, the transfers and the buses, without the hotels, we can do it. We will only need you to tell us what services you need. Also, if you want to replace buses for flights, you need to consider that 3 of them are overnight trips, so either the itinerary will be shorter or you have to add nights in the destinations of choice. If you tell us what services you prefer, we can calculate and let you know.

  • S

    Sabrina

    Asked on September 26th, 2025

    I would like to travel in South America with you. I consider the Trip Rio de Janeiro to Santiago de Chile. I do not speak Spanish/Portuguese but i understood that this should not be really a problem. Before i book the trip, i wanted to check with you which day should be better in your view. Should i book the trip starting on 21 November or 22 November.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten September 2025

      I would suggest booking the tour starting on November 21st, as we already include the airport pick up in our price.

    William

    Asked on September 4th, 2025

    Is there an alternative to the bike ride. I am no good at riding a bike.

    Tour Details
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten September 2025

      Yes, we can skip the bike tour and you could have a free day. Or we could replace it with a private Panoramic City Tour.

  • G

    Gail

    Asked on August 29th, 2025

      We understand your uncertainty. Rest assured the tours included are in english. And we'll help you with every address or meeting point, should you need it.

  • R

    Robyn

    Asked on August 13th, 2025

    Can we 1. Fly Rio to Iguazu? 2. Fly BA to Mendoza? 3. in Mendoza, do Wine Tour after arrival? 4. Leave tour in Santiago after first overnight (not do the bike tour)? - that would mean, our tour would be only 14 days.

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten August 2025

      1 & 2: The overnight buses can be replaced with flights, yes. If you would like us to book them for you, they´ll be quoted as an extra, apart from your trip package. You could also book them by yourself, as you wish. 3: The Mendoza part includes a Half Day Tour to a Winery, yes. They usually start in the morning, that's why it's on the second day, is that okay with you? 4: Would you like us to remove the Santiago Bike Tour or to remove the whole day of the itinerary?

  • T

    Tracy

    Asked on July 28th, 2025

    What is the maximum number of guests you can include? Do you have a similar trip starting in Chile and returning to Rio?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten July 2025

      We don't have a maximum number of guests! And yes, we can absolutely arrange a similar itinerary starting in Chile and ending in Rio. If you'd like exactly the same trip in reverse, just let me know and I'll get started on it. If you'd prefer to make any adjustments to the itinerary (such as skipping or adding destinations, changing the pace, etc.), that's also totally possible. Just share your preferences and we'll tailor it accordingly.
