Thanks for this Nick.

Lee and I just wanted to send our heartfelt thanks to you for helping us to have such a wonderful holiday in Argentina and Brazil. Every single recommendation you made to us was spot on for what we wanted and we had a truly amazing and unforgettable experience as a result. The itinerary ran like clockwork thanks to your hard work. We are very grateful for all the time you spent with us to shape up the perfect holiday.

We were absolutely blown away by Argentina - what a fantastic country and people. Our experience was so overwhelmingly positive we intend to do more travel in South America as a result!

I’ve also passed your name and endorsed you to a colleague of mine who is looking to organise a trip to Peru too.

Once again, thanks for everything and we will be back in touch when we decide to travel that way again.

We hope you and your wife have a wonderful Christmas and New year.

Warmest wishes

Hi Nick,

I was just clearing out some emails and realized I never responded to you.  We had an AMAZING trip.  It was such a huge help to have our transfers to the hotels/airports.  All our drivers were very nice, but we had to help a some of them with directions to the hotels.  The Mine Hotel was great and the staff were very helpful and even had champagne waiting for us.  It was also a great location for walking around and exploring.

The Villa Mansa was gorgeous and exactly what we needed.  It was nice to be a little out of the way to really relax.  We ended up doing two wine tours through Ampora Wine Tours which was a perfect way to enjoy wine country.  The food there was also very good.

We had some flight delays on the way to Iguazu so we ended up arriving at the hotel late.  This was a bit of a challenge because they were no longer serving any food and there weren't really any other convenient options.  The staff also weren't really helpful when we were trying to find somewhere to get cold medicine because Linsey had gotten sick. While the hotel property is very cool, our room was a little underwhelming. It had seen better days.  The food was also not great.  But we did have a fantastic time at the falls!  Our guide was really great and it was nice not to have to worry about all the details.

Thank you again so much for all of your help planning a great trip! We're definitely going to plan another trip in the future! 

Best,
Nicky Smolter

Many thanks for arranging an amazing holiday for us to Argentina. The itinerary and hotels you recommended were just perfect - you clearly listened and understood my detailed requirements...The hotels all lived up to expectations and the service received throughout was excellent.

The whole trip was fantastic from BA, to Mendoza via El Calafate and Bariloche - there were too many highlights to pick one out.

I would highly recommend your services and we'll be in touch soon to discuss our next adventure.

Many thanks

Thank you for organising such a fantastic trip for us. It was our first visit to Argentina and we absolutely loved it. We greatly appreciated all your time in helping us organise an amazing itinerary with so many highlights - from the incredible wildlife of the Peninsula Valdes to the magnificent scenery and amazing drives in Salta and the North West - that we just want to go back for more. The people everywhere were welcoming and friendly, the hotels were just what we had asked for and all well located, the ground arrangements were smooth and efficient, the food and wine delicious… we will definitely be back!

Hi Nick

Great to hear from you! We absolutely loved our trip to El Calafate - El Cantera was a perfect place to stay and the rooms were so lovely - spacious while cosy! Service at hotel was excellent and the free shuttle to town every night was a very nice bonus. The transport service and tours were all excellent and the staff were so nice! We were very impressed with the return transfer to the airport when they provided us with our boarding passes and took us right to passport control - great service!

Would definitely recommend your services to anyone visiting Argentina.

Thanks very much for the recommendation and thanks again for all your help! Wishing you a great Christmas!

Best,

Just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time in Argentina. The places you booked were great, people were very nice and food/wine enjoyable. The Estancia Ernestina was probably not for everyone but was exactly what we were looking for. We got to see many animals very up close and had a lot of fun.

Thanks for putting it together for us.

Hi Nick,

Thanks very much for helping us plan our amazing trip. You gave great advice and spending 3 nights in each location (BA, Mendoza, Bariloche and BA again) worked really well. Entre Cielos Hotel in Mendoza and Casa Luma Hotel in Villa de Angostura were brilliant. We'd definitely recommend your service!

Sincerely,

Tara and Simon

Dear Nick,

Thanks for the email and i would just like to say a HUGE thank you from us both for putting together what will be a holiday that is very hard to beat! You managed to put together so many elements in such a short space of time that we were amazed that it all came together and, while out there, ran so smoothly!

Iguazu is to be seen to be believed and, as we discussed, your birding guide there is excellent with both his knowledge and his "access all areas" approach that allowed us to get up close to a few species never before seen by us.

Similarly the Pantanal and the Amazon were truly exceptional with great properties selected and the best areas visited.

A big thanks once again and please feel free to use any photos that you need,

We will be heading back to South America and Africa again in the future so will make sure we look you up!

Sincerely,

Robert

Hi Nick
Apologies, I think you sent me an email a while back asking about the trip to Argentina but it quickly got buried.

Just a quick note to say that all went smoothly and thank you for arranging everything. If it is helpful, just a few comments below

- Re skiing in Bariloche- tell your clients not to bother trying to rent ski equipment in town- we wasted a whole morning  trying to find some expertise but there is none! You need to go to the base of the mountain. The quality of hired ski gear is poor at both resorts we went to, ski enthusiasts should try and take their own gear.

- All the places to stay were very good. Hub Porteno was excellent in terms of hotel design and the knowledge/helpfulness of the concierge. Casa Eugenia`s owner was really helpful in terms of local information [and did a BBQ for us]. Had a fantastic time at Estancia Los Potreros, difficult to fault this in any way at all!

- It would have been good to know about the blue currency market in advance, as one would then have taken more cash, as opposed to relying on credit cards. I do however appreciate that this is a delicate subject.

Kind regards
Andrew

Dear Nick,

Thank you for your email.

We had an amazing honeymoon in Argentina, in fact we kept saying throughout the trip how we wished we hadn't made our plans so early as it turned out later on, we had enough time to extend the trip a few more days! The hotels we stayed at were all interesting, with good service. Looking back, we can't really think of any real difficulties we had save that we are now desperate to return and cannot wait for the next time that we will be back in Argentina!
