    This was an excellent A to B self guided tour that had a few well placed day tours included such as the Iguazu Falls Brazil and Argentina side, horse riding, tango show and city tours. Excellent value for money and perfect for people who do not want to be stuck in a 'tour group' for long period of time. The Tour radar online staff led by Cristian were absolutely amazing and always there in the other end with support and assistance when required. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is thinking about doing it. A trip of a lifetime!!

    I found Hi tours & particularly Cristian to be there at the end of the telephone every step of the way. The tour was phenomenal value & superbly thought out. As a 72 year old travelling alone & not wishing to be in the standard group tour this was perfect. The company kept in touch regularly to make sure the itinerary was living up to my expectations. It certainly was. I unhesitatingly recommend them.

    • 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.

    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.

    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

    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.

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      Will I be with one group the entire time?

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten April 2025

      No, you don't need a visa for Brazil, Argentina ir Chile having a UK passport! Our tours are not Group Tours, are for independent travelers. The day trips in each destination are group day trips, but from destination to destination you are going on your own using public buses. If you take hostel accommodation, it gives more opportunities to know fellow travelers. If you take hotel accommodation, you get more comfort but less social life.
