TRIP REVIEW OF PAUL & LORIE FREITAS AND FAMILY
"Argentina Exploration Journeys put together a great vacation for my family. There were so many details to coordinate and everything went perfectly.
Our tango show seats were the best in the house, our tour guides (especially Rolli Jones) were helpful and friendly. The bodegas we visited were spectacular.
I was a little apprehensive about a prepaid vacation with someone I didn't know but now I'm planning my next visit with confidence."
