Costa Rica/Ecuador/Galapagos
“We had a wonderful time and it was a 'once in a lifetime' event. Thank you so much for making all the arrangements which worked flawlessly.” - PB travelled in April 2025
Costa Rica
“We had a fantastic week in Costa Rica - the organisation, trips, hotels all perfect. Despite la niña (such a naughty girl) meaning the rainy season extended to end of year at least, it didn't take away our enjoyment.” - R&SK travelled in November 2024
Ecuador/Galapagos/Peru
“We had an incredible time and I wanted to drop you a note to say thank you and fill you in on the highlights. Mashpi Lodge is remarkable, the Galapagos was extrodinary and the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu were utter highlights. All the support from the local guides was excellent. In Ecuador Marco was so thoughtful and postive and quietly eager for us to sample Ecuador both as food and as culture. Wilda, who guided us in the Sacred Valley, was incredible and hugely knowledgeable. We felt supported at all times and were consequently able to relax and enjoy all around us.
We have returned loaded with photographs and memories and are beginning to think about returning at some stage – the Eastern Galapagos route is calling and we do want to go down to Patagonia. We have other plans coming up, but may well be back in touch in a year or so. None of this could have happened without your hard work on our behalf and we thank you so much for all your help and advice.” - JP travelled in February 2025
Brazil
“We had the time of our lives and I had no idea Brazil was so special! Iguaçu particularly blew us away and the Pantanal was fabulous too. We saw lots of jaguars, yes - on every drive in fact. We didn’t see an anteater or tapir but lots of other mammals and birds of course and it was the jaguar we wanted most. Rio was huge fun and the carnival seats were fantastic - right in the middle by the judges so we enjoyed all the special antics for them. We loved Brazil so much that we’re thinking of Montevideo and Argentina next year as our niece is going to study in Uruguay! We will no doubt be in touch. Many thanks again, you did us proud.” - D&NC travelled in February 2025
Peru/Bolivia/Chile
“We arrived back safely yesterday morning from (a literally) breath-taking trip to Bolivia in so many ways – it is much more than the Uyuni Salt Flats; lots of diversity with great people! It challenges your senses in every way possible.” - IW&LW travelled in April 2024
Chile/Argentina
“Thanks for all your help organising the trip to Chile and Argentina - it was fantastic. We had a wonderful time and now to try to get the 1000 photos down to something more manageable. We had great weather and saw everything - including Fitzroy, Torres del Paine and the Torres. So much great stuff to chat through and thanks again for all your great planning.” - MH travelled in November 2024
Ecuador/Galapagos
“Our trip was amazing. We were so impressed with how organised everything was, it really was ridiculously easy for us. At every point there was someone waiting who knew exactly where we should be going, what we needed etc.
I know that most people go to the Amazon before Galapagos, which I understand, but for us I preferred the order in which we did it. I think I would have been wishing the time away waiting to head to Galapagos, and our kids thought that the wildlife experience was just as good. On that point, we were really lucky. We finished Galapagos snorkeling with hammerheads, Galapagos and white tip reef sharks. We also got to swim with penguins, sea lions, turtles and so many fish. We are generally spoiled at home in terms of snorkeling/diving but this was incredible. At Napo, in the Amazon, we got to see the giant river otters hunting, carrying their young and generally messing around which was incredible. So at the risk of waffling on, our wildlife encounters were incredible and not just for the twitchers in the family.
The respective accommodations were excellent. We were very lucky on our boat that we were with a lovely family. Given that it was so small, it would have been a very different experience if they weren't so lovely. The guides we had were all very knowledgeable and friendly.
It really was a holiday of a lifetime for all of us.” - ET travelled in August 2024
Brazil
“Thank you for organising our wonderful trip. It really was fantastic. Highlights are VERY hard, but… Jaguars (of course), plus giant anteater, armadillos and even a glimpse of a maned wolf that even got the guide excited! The Iguazu Falls were stunning, as was the bird park. Football was awesome,... and there was the helicopter ride (amazing surprise so thank you for keeping the secret).” - JH&ML travelled in June 2024
Peru
“Peru was quite simply the most amazing holiday, I still can hardly believe we have done it. We both cannot thank you enough for organising it for us. Everything ran like clockwork the whole team of people who looked after us were so kind, friendly and efficient and our accommodation was brilliant - just perfect. As for highlights there were so many. Ale, our guide on the first day in Cusco was phenomenal and some of the Inca temples just blew me away. Machu Picchu of course and don’t even get me started on the rain forest I cried when I left. Our guide Fernando was just amazing. We ended up with 3 days at Tambopata - what a place so peaceful we left so much more knowledgeable and enriched. I have some amazing photos and so will be able to look back and remember what was the holiday of a lifetime and the holiday of dreams. So once again a huge thank you from both of us.” - SP travelled in August 2025
Costa Rica
“We had a great trip and saw a lot of interesting wildlife and enjoyed some unusual experiences. We only scratched the surface of Costa Rica. All the places we stayed were great, especially Amor Arenal and Arenas del Mar. These two places were spectacular and we wish we had more time to spend on the properties.” - JO travelled in January 2024
Peru/Ecuador/Galapagos
“Thank you for organising the most amazing trip, which we all enjoyed immensely. The itinerary was perfect - we saw and experienced so much and the holiday was totally in line with our hopes and expectations. This trip has honestly been one of our most favourite ever and we really appreciate how seamlessly it all flowed - we were looked after incredibly well at all times. Truly, I could go on forever with superlatives about all our guides (who make such a difference) and experiences - but I’m sure you have heard it all before. Thank you for your brilliant suggestions and organisation.” - LC travelled in April 2024
Argentina/Uruguay/Brazil
“We had a fabulous trip. The hotels were all really good, and perhaps we should have built in more time to enjoy some of them.
The main highlights for me (having visited Iguassu before) were the trip in the Salta area which was well organised, the guide excellent, and the scenery around Salta really magnificent; and the final stay at Pousada Alcobaca in Petropolis. I should also mention the wine tour in Mendoza - the seven-course meal with wine pairings an unexpected surprise.
So thanks very much for organising that for us.” - JH&LC travelled in April 2024
Peru/Bolivia/Argentina/Paraguay/Brazil
“Thank you for organising our trip, we had a great time and the pace of the trip was about right. There was a lot to see but the real highlights were the Serrania de Hornacal with the rock formations and colours and also the journey across the altiplano from Tarija to Tupiza. Iguazu was, of course, spectacular but a bit more expected so didn’t stand out as much.” - PC travelled in August 2023
Brazil
“We are back and everything went very well. Our time in Rio was busy, but we had a lovely time going to concerts in different parts of the city. Paraty was wonderful, an excellent choice. So much to do there and what a lovely place. We loved it and the trips were great. So the trip passed by in an instant! Another fantastic trip. Thank you so much. I will keep in touch.” - RB travelled in November 2023
Argentina
“We had an amazing holiday - our third trip to the country but this time it has really felt like we have been “in” Argentina. The journey from the Andes to the Atlantic was spectacular and jaw-dropping and Gwion was wonderful as a guide and friend. Sunset to ourselves with the colony of 600,000 Magellanic penguins at Estancia San Lorenzo was very special.” - I&LW travelled in January 2025
