We had an exceptional experience with TourRadar, thanks to Cristian’s outstanding planning and support. He designed a custom 18-day itinerary for us that made the absolute most of our time. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered, and we were able to see so many incredible places without ever feeling rushed. Cristian handled all of our in-country flights seamlessly and even stepped in to help us check in with the airlines, which took a lot of stress off our shoulders. The accommodations were consistently wonderful, and each tour we went on was memorable in its own way. What really stood out was Cristian’s care throughout the trip. He checked in with us daily and was always available, day or night, whenever we had questions or needed assistance. That level of support made the whole experience feel easy and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend TourRadar, and especially Cristian, to anyone looking for a thoughtfully curated and truly unforgettable travel experience.Show more

We had a fantastic trip, even being on a bus for 31 hours added to the experience. The tours were well organised, fun to be on and good value for money, especially the white water rafting in Argentina. The hostels were basic but comfortable and had there own trips and experiences you could join which we did. The only criticism is that I wouldn't have done the Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls, the Brazilian side was a far better experience and enough to see the falls and another day on the other side wasn't needed, replace it with another trip would be my advice. All in all it was a fantastic trip and great value for money. We added a 3 night stay in Manaus in the Amazon on Anaconda island before the trip started, it was a great experience too.Show more
