TRIP REVIEW OF BARBARA & CHRISTOPHER GOOTKIND AND FAMILY
"We had a wonderful trip to Argentina, and give Fred and Argentina Exploration Journeys our highest recommendation. My husband and I traveled with our two college-age kids.
We have done a lot of traveling. I usually make all of the plans myself, because I like to tailor the activities to exactly what we want to do. But, this year was too busy to figure it out. Thank goodness, because the trip we had with Argentina Exploration Journeys was much better than what I could have put together.
Fred was incredibly helpful and responsive, and gave great advice on planning the activities. We went back and forth a few times with itineraries to make sure it met our needs.
Not only was Fred completely professional and accurate, but all of the tour guides, activities, drivers etc. which were arranged by Fred were exceptional. Our trip was absolutely flawless until there was an unannounced airline strike on the day we were to fly home.
We were stranded in Ushuaia because flights for the next 5 days were fully booked! Fortunately, Fred and his local team helped us promptly return home, leaving through Chile, and he even then helped us succesfully claim a refund with the airline for the cancelled flight! A first-class operation. Thank you!"

Over 20 years ago, I set out to build a travel company that would redefine what “worry-free travel” really means, where every guest feels cared for as if they were part of our family, and every detail runs seamlessly.
With two decades of experience crafting Argentina trips, I’ve learned that the right pacing, local expertise, and genuine care make all the difference. That’s why every itinerary we design blends must-see highlights with authentic local experiences, while leaving space for personal exploration and real connection.
I'd love to personally design a customized itinerary for you and help make your Argentina journey truly memorable, worry-free and first-class from start to finish.
