Our Gold category trips include the best tours in each destination (usually done on private basis or in small groups), guaranteeing an exclusive first‑class and in-depth travel experience.
Additionally, airport transfers are provided on a private basis in all destinations, except in Peninsula Valdes.

TRIP REVIEW OF CARLA BOUDREAU AND ELLEN HAINS
This was our second trip to Argentina arranged by Exploration Journeys, finally completed after a 2 year delay due to COVID19.
For both trips Fred provided my friend and I exceptional service in terms of suggested itineraries, tours, and all the logistics. It was so wonderful to have all the internal flights confirmed in advance, drivers to transport us to and from the airports and of course, the knowledgeable tour guides.
During the delay for this second trip, to Patagonia, Fred provided constant updates on the status of travel to Argentina from the US, rescheduled everything several times and worked to minimize additional costs due to the delay. It was worth the wait - Patagonia was beautiful and we enjoyed the mix of adventure tours and time to explore on our own and relax. Highly recommend!
