You did a great job -we loved it

You did a great job -we loved it, all went well The tour company in Buenos Aires did their job well and were really nice to us. All and all we were really happy. I think you can safely recommend the hot springs and spa. We were the only English speakers there and it had great food and nice accomodations. The scenery is awesome. Mendoza was nice, hotel was fine the NH and the shopping was much much better as far as prices were concerned there. Thanks again. Best, Melanie

Everything you arranged was perfect to the last detail

Everything you arranged was perfect to the last detail. The hotels were all nice. My favorite was probably Remota, in Puerto Natales, Chile. Their food was excellent, tour guides and drivers are all professionals. I learned a lot.
