TRIP REVIEW OF STEPHEN & CAROL BLACKER

"Carol and I consider ourselves very experienced travelers and we had been to Buenos Aires once before. But this trip needed an expertise we didn't think we could handle as it involved a complex set of airport transfers and visits to Iguazu and Mendoza as well as Buenos Aires.
So we searched on the internet and found several companies anxious to help us. Immediately, Fred and Exploration Journeys moved to the top of the list. Fred's warmth was immediately shown and the quality of the web site was outstanding.

Through months of planning and several changes, Fred was there and worked with us as the trip plans matured.
The net result: a FABULOUS vacation with spot on recommendations and superb guides. Thanks to you and all of your associates for a job well done."
