"Fred
at Exploration Journey's was excellent at all steps during
our vacation, but really exceeded our expectations on helping
us reschedule our trip in a matter of hours due to airport
shut downs.
We
have been across the globe with many different tour companies
but Fred and Exploration Journey's has been the best so
far."
|
|
This was our family's first trip to Argentina; we have been
to a number of other countries in South America.
Buenos Aires is one of the prettiest and safest cities
I have been to. Our trip also included a trip to Iguazu
Falls and multiple day trips (Gaucho, Tigre River, City tour
and Colonia de Sacramento, Uruguay).
|
Fred at Exploration Journey's was excellent at all steps during
our vacation, but really exceeded our expectations on helping us
reschedule our trip in a matter of hours due to airport shut downs.
While our itinerary changed, Fred made sure we wasted no time and
helped us get a whole new itinerary for the last half of our trip
leaving us with a great experience.
Our kids loved it also! We take many vacation a year, have been
across the globe with many different tour companies but Fred and
Exploration Journey's has been the best so far."

"Exploration
Journeys made our honeymoon so relaxed - their organization
is superb and the travel booklet is extremely useful.
Thank
you to Exploration journeys and in particular Fred, for
making our honeymoon a trip we will never ever forget."
|

What an incredible place to have a honeymoon - a real
once in a lifetime (although hopefully we'll return one day!)
trip.
Exploration Journeys should be proud to have such a conscientious,
organized and calm representative in Fred. Fred was exceptional
from the minute we raised our interest in going to Argentina.
The diverse range of activities was perfect
for us, the timetable was perfect - the only criticism is
that we should have gone for longer!
Every one of our trip guides was super friendly,
all the drivers turned up on time (even when one of our
domestic flights was diverted to a different airport we had
a driver waiting within 15 minutes of landing) and even when
we encountered some minor hiccups, Fred was on the end of
the phone ready to resolve (does this guy ever sleep?)
|
Exploration Journeys made our honeymoon so relaxed
- their organization is superb and the travel booklet is extremely
useful.
Argentina itself is a lovely place, so diverse,
so friendly and welcoming. We went to Iguazu, Mendoza, El Calafate
and Buenos Aires. Four very, very different experiences. The waterfalls
in Iguazu are amazing, a real wonder of the world. The boat trip
is a must! Horseback riding in the foothills of the Andes was simply
breathtaking. Wine tasting in Mendoza is not to be missed either
- the lunch at Ruca Malen winery was exquisite. Walking on the Perito
Mereno glacier was inspiring as well as being fantastic fun! Buenos
Aires is a real buzzing city with so much to see - Tango is a must
and Palermo and la Boca give you a real sense of the diversity of
the city.
Thank you to Exploration journeys and in particular
Fred, for making our honeymoon a trip we will never ever forget.

"Overall,
we couldn't recommend Exploration Journeys enough. They
gave us a fantastic trip of a lifetime for our honeymoon,
a trip we will never forget.
The
travel booklet was excellent, and we used it everywhere
we visited in terms of its restaurant recommendations (all
excellent) and places of interest to go and see."
|
|
We found Exploration Journeys on the Internet when we had
decided on Argentina for our honeymoon.
We are both delighted that we did find them because our
honeymoon couldn't have worked out any better.
We had a fantastic trip from start to finish and we can't
thank Fred enough.
|
From our initial query and rough outline of what
we wanted to do and where we wanted to visit, Fred couldn't have
been more helpful in terms of advice, tips and general information.
And he showed a lot of patience and dedication in coming up with
multiple itineraries until we settled on the final one.
We received an online version of our travel booklet
and then the real thing arrived in plenty of time ahead of our trip.
It was great not to have to worry about any of
our trip details coming up to the wedding, knowing that everything
had been planned in advance. Upon arrival in Argentina, everything
ran perfectly, and even if it hadn't we knew we had access to
Exploration Journeys 24/7 just a phone call away. We didn't
need to use that service though, because everything ran perfectly,
from our arrival in Buenos Aires to our departure a couple of weeks
later.
Our drivers were always on time, our hotels were
great, our tours were excellent, and even the weather was perfect
(not sure how Fred pulled that one off!) even down in Patagonia.
The travel booklet was excellent, and we used
it everywhere we visited in terms of its restaurant recommendations
(all excellent) and places of interest to go and see.
Overall, we couldn't recommend Exploration Journeys
enough. They gave us a fantastic trip of a lifetime for our honeymoon,
a trip we will never forget. "

We just finished a trip to Argentina which was organized
by Exploration Journeys.
I want to extend the highest compliments to Fred and
Exploration Journeys.
From the beginning, the communication was excellent.
They helped us to plan an itinerary that suited our needs.
We were met at each of our destinations by friendly and

We were particularly impressed by our hotel in Iguazu which included
a beautiful pool amid a jungle setting. Our last evening in Buenos
Aires was spent at a tango club. Don't miss it!
Thank you to Fred and his staff for making our
journey a memorable one. We are already thinking about a return
trip to Argentina and we will certainly plan our next trip with
Exploration Journeys. Thank you again Fred."

"The
trip to Argentina was one of the best planned trips we have
ever taken.
Every
single element of the trip went off without a single mishap.
I cannot recommend Fred and Argentina Exploration Journeys
more highly."
|
|
My wife and I have traveled much of the world and the
trip to Argentina was our sixth trip to South America
(we have also traveled to Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador
and Chile).
When we decided to go to Argentina, I began working with
my local travel agent to plan a comprehensive trip. My travel
agent developed an itinerary to the cities we wanted to visit
but was unable to arrange the many customized sightseeing
options we wanted to experience.
|
In the meantime, my wife discovered Argentina Exploration
Journeys which she encouraged me to investigate. I reviewed Exploration
Journey's website and promptly called to discuss our trip.
After talking to Fred, I was confident that he could
arrange the trip we wanted to take. His personal knowledge of
Argentina was impressive. Looking back, I believe that our
Argentina trip experience would have been much less enjoyable had
we not used Exploration Journeys.
The trip to Argentina was one of the best planned
trips we have ever taken. On our two week trip we visited four
cities and stayed two days on a working estancia. This was a complicated
travel and event schedule with many flights, multiple car and driver
arrangements and sightseeing arrangements in every location. And
to our delight, every single element of the trip went off without
a single mishap.
Fred and his team of suppliers did a magnificent
job of trip planning and then followed-up to insure that every detail
was covered. I cannot recommend Fred and Argentina Exploration
Journeys more highly. Finally, as an added bonus, Fred includes
an invaluable booklet customized to your trip listing all hotels
with addresses and telephone numbers, all flights arrangements,
a list of restaurant suggestions in each city along with many helpful
travel tips for Argentina. This is the work of a travel perfectionist!"

"What
impressed me the most was that you could always find Fred
wherever you were and he was always there to help you. Fred's
services exceeded our expectations."
|
|
We found Exploration Journeys and Fred through the internet.
Because we had not done business with them in the past, we
were not sure if this company was real. When I called Fred,
he was very patient and explained in great detail his services.
This was my second trip to Argentina, but the first for my
other 4 guests.
I booked my first trip through an Argentinean agent who did
not speak English well. It took a long time to get an answer
with that Agent. So for my second trip I decided to try Exploration
Journeys.
|
Fred designed a very affordable and enjoyable itinerary
for us. He was extremely professional and an excellent communicator.
I felt very confident dealing with him. When we had one person cancel,
he did his best to give us the refund beyond his duty. All hotels
were excellent locations and very comfortable.
Tour guides were knowledgeable with great personality
and all transfers were on time.
What impressed me the most was that you could
always find Fred wherever you were and he was always there to help
you. Fred's services exceeded our expectations."

I have complete faith in Exploration Journeys

"This was our first trip to Argentina and Exploration
Journeys put together an itinerary that packed our 10 days
of travel.
Everything was taken care of, rooms, stops, guides,
and air travel. We started and ended in Buenos Aires, went
to Patagonia (El Calafate), and enjoyed the Mendoza area.
Our most memorable experiences included walking on a glacier
in Patagonia, standing on the top of the Andes at 13,000 feet
in front of the statue of Christ on the border of Argentina
and Chile (a tour out of Mendoza),
|
and enjoying one of the most memorable wine tours
in Mendoza finishing with a 5 star lunch and wine tasting at a winery
in the middle of a vineyard.
Of course, there was the tour of Buenos Aires,
Tango Dinner in Buenos Aires, the boat tour to three glaciers, and
the visit to an estancia with a barbeque and gaucho entertainment.
Fred and Exploration Journeys seemed to anticipate
all of our needs. We couldn't ask more to have a better trip.
The Travel Booklet for our Argentine adventure
that was given to us before we left became our Bible for the trip.

We wish we had more time to enjoy other areas
of Argentina, but that will have to wait for another trip to Argentina.

"In January 2011 we began our Argentine adventure with
superb planning assistance from Fred of Exploration
Journeys.
We selected the company because of their very professional
and user friendly website through which they responded to
us almost immediately regarding their services and recommendations.
We had three weeks to explore and wanted to visit as many
places as possible without feeling that we were always on
the move.
|
Fred gave us excellent advice and was able to arrange
our flights perfectly so there was no back tracking to Buenos Aires.
Our vehicle pick-ups and gracious English speaking guides were
there to greet us at each new location and able to answer all of
our questions.
My husband was eager that we play golf as often as
possible, and while not on the itineraries offered by Exploration
Journeys, Fred was generous in offering us information and making
contacts for us in each location. We also asked for a couple of
specific hotels and arrangements were made for us which naturally
included extra room costs as required.
All during the trip Fred was available to respond
to our inquiries. We found that the recommendations for restaurants

The
vacation Exploration Journeys planned for us truly was a dream. Overall, we
were very impressed with Exploration Journeys and their services highly exceeded
our expectations! After the wonderful experience we had working
with them, we can say that they are the BEST (even better than most travel
agents I've worked with in the states). From the moment I began
researching tours in Argentina, I was blown away by the timely and detailed
responses I received from Fred (our trip host). |
He answered all of my endless questions and always offered great travel
advice regarding flights, hotels, and things to do in the different cities
we wanted to visit. Because we wanted to see so much during our two week vacation,
Fred created an itinerary that minimized travel time and was very cost-effective.
Our customized itinerary allowed us to see and do
everything we wanted and also gave us the freedom to explore on our own. From
the penguins at Punta Tombo, to El Calafate and the Perito Moreno Glacier, to
the waterfalls in Iguazu, and finally to the big city of Buenos Aires, our vacation
was jam-packed with fun activities. Everything was planned perfectly and we
had a blast! Our excursions and tour guides
were fabulous. Our English speaking guides were informative and very helpful.
The trip booklet that Fred prepared for us was
a great resource that we used daily during our vacation. It had advice on how
to dress for the weather in Argentina and was detailed with great recommendations
for restaurants to try, museums to visit, places to shop, and so much more! Our
trip to Argentina was outstanding and we are so thankful for Exploration Journeys
and especially for Fred. We can not wait to visit Argentina again, and without
a doubt, we would want Fred to plan us another dream vacation! " Cristina

Not only did they plan a very good vacation for us, but they
demonstrated tremendous dexterity in rearranging our itinerary when our flight
to Buenos Aires was delayed 17 hours because of a snowstorm. The
local guides were not typical at all; with each one it was like spending a
day with a local friend. They were eclectic and unusual which appealed to
me a lot. My daughter and I especially loved the glacier trekking
in El Calafate and getting drenched by Iguazu Falls. | |

we met was very friendly. We felt we were welcomed in Argentina. Trip

"It
was a perfect trip and rates as a tie for #1 with our trip to Africa. Without
hesitation, I would recommend you and your firm to everyone and already have." |
| "From the very start of our planning
for our first trip to South America, you were very professional and assisted us
in the details of our trip. Your selections on accommodations
and restaurants were very good and there was never a hitch in our arrivals
and departures and the various tours. From the history of Buenos
Aries to the whales of Puerto Madryn and the wine and food of Mendoza, it was
a perfect trip and rates as a tie for #1 with our trip to Africa. |
| You and your staff
did an excellent job and it was greatly appreciated in every aspect. Attached
are some pictures that you can feel free to use and add our names to the highly
satisfied customers. Without hesitation, I would recommend you
and your firm to everyone and already have." |

| "Our family had a wonderful, memorable
trip to Argentina in May 2009. The trip was well organized:
we always had guides to meet and take care of our every need. The hotels, restaurants,
and excursions were tailored to our tastes and interests. Fred
and Argentina Exploration Journeys went "above and beyond" during our entire stay
to make certain that we were enjoying ourselves. We will certainly use them again
when we return to Argentina. " |

"I
had an extremely wonderful trip to Argentina. Fred took care of everything
for me; whenever I emailed him with questions, I had a response within
a 24-hour time period. " |
| "I had an extremely wonderful trip
to Argentina. I found Exploration Journeys on the internet,
and contacted Fred asking him to put together an itinerary for me. He responded
in a very timely matter and had many different options and suggestions for
me. He took care of everything for me; whenever I emailed him with questions,
I had a response within a 24-hour time period. | |
Traveling to each destination went very smoothly; all of my transfers
and tour guides were always on time and waiting for me at the airport upon my
arrival. Fred was always a phone call away, and I took advantage
of this numerous times; he was always very helpful and made sure that my stay
in Argentina was the best it could be. I saw the most beautiful
sights I have ever seen in my life and I met amazing people along the way. Argentina
was a great experience and a fun place to travel to; I can't wait to take my family
back and will definitely book through Exploration Journeys again. Thank you, Fred,
for arranging my trip and accommodating to all of my needs before and after my
trip! " | Kristen

"Our
trip to Argentina was spectacular. We were contacted regularly to
see if everything was fine and we always felt that if anything went wrong (and
it did not!) we would be able to reach Exploration Journeys for assistance 24/7." |
| "Our trip to Argentina was spectacular.
We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and wanted it to be a very special
trip. Not speaking Spanish and not being familiar with the
country, we knew we would need help with the arrangements and narrowing down where
we would visit. We found Exploration Journeys on the internet and after reading
itineraries and testimonials, we sent an inquiring email. |
| From the moment Fred
responded, we knew we would be well taken care of. Every detail was addressed,
all of our questions and concerns answered, and Fred showed us how to make the
most of our stay in Argentina. Our private guides were wonderful,
in particular, Facundo in Bariloche. Our transfers were timely, our English-
speaking guides most informative and the Travel Booklet provided to us was
very useful. We were contacted regularly to see if everything
was fine and we always felt that if anything went wrong (and it did not!) we would
be able to reach Exploration Journeys for assistance 24/7. We
recommended Exploration Journeys to travelers we met along the way and when we
return to Argentina, we will be in touch with Fred again. Thank
you for a dream vacation!" | Carolyn

"Fred
covered every basis so there was no room for error or confusion.
Our drivers showed up on time, they all spoke beautiful English. The
biggest bonus for us was that we did not have to travel with a group!
We loved that!" |
| "This was my first trip with Exploration
Journeys but it won't be my last! At first, my mother and I were
nervous about doing everything over the internet, but our agent, Fred, put
our mind at ease by answering each and every question in a professional and
timely manner and by tailoring the trip to our specific needs. The
biggest bonus for us was that we did not have to travel with a group!
We loved that! | |
Fred covered every basis so there was no room for error
or confusion. Our drivers showed up on time, they all spoke beautiful English
and our accommodations and excursions exceeded our expectations.
I would highly recommend this company as they obviously take pride in what
they do and have the experience necessary to do it well. Thank
you for a memorable experience! " | Wendy

were really taken care of at each stop and all of the people we interacted
with were very pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable." |
| "My wife Ok Cha and I recently purchased a custom
tailored vacation in Argentina from Argentina Exploration Journeys for our 30th
wedding anniversary. Fred was very helpful in quickly answering
my e-mails and he put together exactly the special vacation that we were
looking to have. We were really taken care of at each
stop and all of the people we interacted with were very pleasant,
helpful and knowledgeable. | |
The views in Patagonia and at Iguazu Falls were spectacular
and the food was great. The Tango show in Buenos Aires was a great finale. I am
already thinking about when we will go back. | Clifford

"We
had a very wonderful trip to Argentina. Everything more than lived
up to our expectations. We loved everything and all of the people
involved should be commended." |
| "We had a very wonderful trip to Argentina and I
want to thank you for all of your efforts. Everything went perfectly --
all the flights, all the pickups, all the tours were exactly on time. The travel
booklet you supplied was especially helpful. Fred's suggestions
of what to see and do were great and everything more than lived up to our expectations.
We loved everything and all of the people involved should be commended
(especially our guide at Iguazu). | |
Argentina is an excellent place to visit with so much to see and do.
From the rain forest to the glacier, from small towns to the big city - so
much diversity - hard to believe it is all one country. We very much enjoyed
the people, the animals, the food and drink - everything. I will
have no trouble recommending Argentina and especially Exploration Journeys to
other travelers. Thanks again for your help and patience." |

"We
both work for the United Nations and have lived and worked in many different

exceptional." |
| "We both work for the United Nations
and have lived and worked in many different countries of the world, but I don't
think I have ever had the same sense of the personal touch by a service provider
as that which I experienced with your company. From beginning
to end, exceptional, even down to the fact that we did not |
take two excursions (one because of the weather,
and one because I chickened out!) and not long after we arrived back in Buenos
Aires, and without asking, we received a full refund in cash delivered to our
hotel room. This was a first in my many many years of international travel, totally
unexpected but much appreciated. Fred was on the ball every step
of the way, and responded within minutes to emails, telephone calls, etc.
We felt like the trip was truly ours and intend to go back to Argentina
because we did not have time to see half of this amazing country." |
