"The vacation Exploration Journeys planned for us truly was a dream...they are the BEST (even better than most travel agents I've worked with in the states)"

"My mom and I had such an amazing experience in Argentina; neither one of us wanted to leave.

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! "

"The local guides were not typical at all; with each one it was like spending a day with a local friend."

"I traveled to Argentina and Brazil with my youngest daughter (age 15) in a trip organized by Exploration Journeys from 21-27 December 2009.

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.

I did not know anything about Exploration Journeys before using them, but they compare quite admirably to the best private tour arrangers I have utilized in many places in the world. I would surely use them again."

"Our trip to Argentina was wonderful! It was one of our best travel experiences....Trip was first rate and your attention to detail was extraordinary."

"Our trip to Argentina was wonderful! It was one of our best travel experiences.

Your excellent service at every step of our trip was sincerely appreciated. As you know, we covered a lot of ground in a relatively short period of time. We regret not spending an extra day or two in Buenos Aires.

Your company and network of allied service organizations provided first rate service.

Our guides and drivers were always punctual, friendly and helpful. The knowledge the guides possessed was impressive and they were always responsive to our questions.

Your country is vast and beautiful. The people seem to have a kinship with Americans based on free spiritedness and liberty. As a result, we are appreciative of one another. That's the impression we received. Everyone we met was very friendly. We felt we were welcomed in Argentina.

Trip was first rate and your attention to detail was extraordinary. We hope to visit you again. The world is a big place and there are many places we haven't seen...yet. Thanks for making our trip to Argentina most memorable."

(Woddbrook, Trinidad y Tobago)

"We were very pleased at the responses to our (many) questions and also the response time...We highly recommend Exploration Journeys to anyone from any part of the world."

"Hats off to Exploration Journeys, Fred in particular, in their ability to create an itinerary that can suit 3 people with different tastes.

The one common goal we all had was that we wanted to see as much as Argentina in 2 weeks. With Stephen having visited Argentina a few years back, this made Fred's job that much more challenging....and we did indeed test him.

We were very pleased at the responses to our (many) questions and also the response time. Good advice and recommendations were generally given. Overall, our trip was well planned and well executed. We especially loved having a tour guide all to ourselves on some tours. Especially as we did not speak much spanish, it was great having a reliable, professional, english speaking service available to us.

We highly recommend Exploration Journeys to anyone from any part of the world."

"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.

"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! "

Carolyn Burt & Steve Murphy - Wedding Anniversary Trip
(Newburyport, Massachusetts, USA)

"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!"

"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.

"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.

"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 countries , but I don't think I have ever had the same sense of the personal touch as that which I experienced with your company...From beginning to end, 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."

Drs. Jennifer and Gordon Jones - Honeymoon Trip
(August, Georgia, USA)

"We have traveled the World and never had a company take care of us so well!"

"When we were planning our honeymoon, the other travel agencies were just not meeting our needs to high quality adventure excursions. We also had some special medical needs to consider. So, we hit the internet and in our browsing found Exploration Journeys.

Not only did they listen to our needs and wants in designing an adventurous honeymoon, they also set us up to be pampered along the way.

The most impressive thing that I commend these guys for was even when an error occurred beyond their control, they corrected it quickly or reimbursed us for the issues on the spot!

We have traveled the World and never had a company take care of us so well!"
