  The tour was well-organized and ran smoothly. Our guide, Pedro, did a great job handling all our requests like finding us a restaurant with great vegetarian options. It was a fast-paced tour, but we got to see everything we wanted to see in three cities. Highly recommend Intrepid as a tour provider.Show more

  Hi Colleen, thank you for sharing your photos and a bit about your experience in South America - I specifically love the picture of you (I hope) and Christ the Redeemer! It is wonderful to know that your dietary requirements were met and that Pedro was mindful of this for your meal times. Indeed this is a busy tour, and we are thrilled to know you enjoyed this face-paced adventure! With continued thanks.

  Our group leader was excellent and the sights amazing. Some of the local guides not that helpful. Poor communication with TourRadar. Intrepid was more helpful. Not met at airport upon arrival and had trouble getting to hotel at 5 in the morning. Prepaid $83 to get ride to airport at end of trip and found out the taxi or Uber would have cost me $25? I feel that was a rip off.Show more

  Thank you for taking the time, Brian, to leave honest feedback. Whilst we are delighted to hear that your tour leader was excellent and you enjoyed the sights of Argentina and Brazil, we are sorry for your experience during the booking process. We are also sorry to hear of your experience with the arrival transfer and are disappointed to hear that there was no driver there to meet you. We can appreciate the last thing you want to do after a long flight is spend time chasing up your transfer. Someone in our customer care team will reach out to you to address this issue.

  After experiencing exceptional service from Leo in Peru (who I highly recommend) and the kindness and professionalism of Lulu in Argentina and Brazil, my father and I were unfortunately met with a completely different standard of leadership from Yamila. Her behaviour and attitude not only crossed a professional line but also a personal one. What was supposed to be the experience of a lifetime—one that we poured a lifetime of savings into—was heavily tarnished by her dismissiveness, rudeness, and lack of care for our health, safety, and overall enjoyment. Instead of enhancing our journey, her poor conduct overshadowed the entire trip, leaving a lasting negative impression that will stay with us forever. There were also several logistical issues that added unnecessary stress. Key itinerary details were poorly communicated, leaving us scrambling for information. The coastal train activity, which was listed as an option, was disregarded by our leader without explanation. The Ibera Wetlands excursion—a major highlight—was not only poorly managed but also raised serious safety concerns that were ignored. Throughout the trip, there was an evident lack of organisation, consideration, and effort to create an inclusive group environment. Despite bringing these issues to Intrepid’s attention, their response prioritised protecting their staff over making things right for their customers. I simply requested a direct apology for the poor treatment my father received, but they refused, citing company policy. While they acknowledged that Yamila’s behaviour was disappointing, their refusal to hold her personally accountable speaks volumes about how they handle customer concerns. I can’t speak for the other tour leaders in Argentina and Brazil, but if you choose to do this leg of the trip, make sure it’s not with Yamila. Going with a tour group always carries some risks, but typically those risks come from the dynamics between travellers—not from the very person who is meant to guide and support you. It’s a shame that an otherwise well-structured itinerary was completely undermined by poor leadership. A trip like this should leave you with lifelong memories of joy and adventure. Instead, thanks to Yamila, my father and I are left with a deeply disappointing experience that we will never forget—for all the wrong reasons.Show more

  Loved the tour with Iguazu Falls being the highlight. Ipanema Beach was our favourite and enjoyed being buffeted by the waves. Our guide Javier did a really good job and the whole group was very appreciative of his efforts. Also got to see the resting place of Evita and Christ the Redeemer close up!Show more

  Structured tour of the main sites in Buenos Aires-Iguazu-Rio De Janerio. Although needed more time in the main 2 cities as not enough time to savour major sites or venture beyond. Tour guide Santiago was exceptional as a Guide leader and human being. Took care of everything and supported and was really interested in who we were and what we wanted out of the tours. My suggestion would be to go for the Premium package rather than the Explorer package to get a better quality of hotel. The open top bus tour in B.A is a good orientation exercise prior to the guided trip as it gives more time to explore what you like rather than what IShow more

  The tour was great with our tour leader providing outstanding service by constantly ensuring that we were aware of upcoming activities, meeting times, restaurant suggestions and points of interest. I could not recommend Hernanda more highly. The majority of our group integrated very well however, as I imagine is the case in all group tours, there were a few who did not listen to the group leader and as such were constantly questioning what was happening. It is hard to listen when you’re constantly tapping on your cell phone!! Would do another Tourradar tour in the future without hesitation. All accomodation and tours were excellent. Thanks Hernanda for a great experience.Show more
