Costa Rica
“Costa Rica was amazing, we absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for all your help and hard work organising everything. The volunteering was great, certainly ‘at one’ with nature because we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. We only saw one turtle but the hosts were lovely. Very, very glad we did it and thank you for your help researching where to go. During the rest of the holiday everything ran very smoothly. The hotels were beautiful, spotless accommodation and accommodating hosts. All the staff, from the transfer drivers to the ones working at the hotels went out of their way to be helpful. The guides on the tours were excellent too. Thanks so much again. ” - EW travelled in July 2022

Peru
“What a magical trip. Perfection in every way.” - RR travelled in January 2020
Guyana
“Wow, what a holiday! Guyana is a truly beautiful country and my family were absolutely amazed by it. The boat trip down the Essequibo River was fantastic, Iwokrama River Lodge was an unexpected wonder, and the hospitality & welcome was superb as was the enthusiasm by the team there.
Onward to Atta Rainforest Lodge. A candle lit dinner in the open in the middle of the rainforest will not be soon forgotten. Once again, the entire team & guides were wonderful with us all.
Finally Kaieteur Falls.. mind-blowingly amazing! Firstly the flight over the miles & miles of 'broccoli', then the first sight of the Falls as we circled it brought gasps from everyone. Why don't more people know of Kaieteur? It is truly powerful and a real wonder.
Ed, it was a truly memorable trip that more than exceeded my hope & expectations. A huge 'thank you' from us all to all of you!” - DS travelled in August 2022
Peru/Chile/Argentina/Brazil
“We arrived home yesterday from an amazing three weeks in South America visiting Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil and wanted to thank you for putting together a fantastic package for us. With 9 different hotels and 6 internal flights we had anticipated a few difficulties but it is fair to say that things all ran very very smoothly. There was someone to meet and greet us at every airport and your local agents were very very helpful. All of our guides were knowledgeable and experienced and although we bonded better with some than others all, without exception, were good with some we would describe as outstanding. All the hotels met our minimum requirements, many were very very good and I'm not sure it was deliberate but if so congratulations - our first hotel and our last two were very high quality which set us up and let us down very nicely indeed. All visits/trips you booked for us were as advertised and very appropriate for us as individuals (it must be difficult for you to judge your clients - we were hungry for knowledge of local culture, history etc. but know when our appetite has been sated). Only once did we feel were were suffering from a slight sensory overload - day 6 of the Inca's - and that may well have been partly the affects of nausea related to altitude.
Before we set off we were slightly anxious about the pace of travel, the packing and unpacking etc. but it was all managed very well - all in all some very happy, well travelled clients. Thank you!” - RP travelled in October 2019
Brazil
“Thank you so much for organising another fantastic holiday in Brazil!! You asked if there were any highlights which is an impossible question as it was pretty well all special. I would say Rio, Iguassu, the Pantanal and Salvador old town, but that doesn’t belittle any of the other places. Your local agents were excellent and we had some very good guides. Thank you again for arranging another fantastic holiday, so pleased to finally get there two years later than originally planned!” - SH travelled in May 2022
Chile/Argentina/Brazil
“We had a great trip with so many diverse things to see and do, and many happy memories. Catching up with friends in Valparaiso and Buenos Aires made it personal as well. Sights like Torres del Paine, Perito Moreno and Iguazu will not be quickly forgotten. All the connections worked and pick ups happened as planned - thank you for your excellent attention to detail. The local agencies were terrific and the guides were not just well informed, but good company too. We enjoyed the wealth of wildlife, especially birds, and flowers and discovering the Lake District in Argentina was a pleasant surprise, away from the normal tourist routes and the car hire went well. Our accommodation was good to very good with a few unusual quirky places. We ate lots of good meals and I particularly enjoyed the Chilean and Argentine wines - we were also introduced to pisco sour which should be on everybody’s list! Thank you again for arranging such a very good trip.” - JR travelled in January 2019
Honeymoon to Peru and Brazil
“We had an amazing time! We felt like we really got a flavour for South America during the three weeks we were there and were able to see so many things. All the hotels and transfers were really good. We also really enjoyed the private tours we did with the local agent and felt that their staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Our highlights included our visit to Machu Picchu and staying in the Amazon (seeing and learning about the plants and animals in the rainforest).” - C&GW travelled in July 2018
Argentina/Brazil
“Where to begin? We had a great time, saw lots and pretty much everything from your end ran like clockwork, thank you for that. It does make life easy when someone has prepared all the groundwork and your travel booklet was also very helpful. Once our finances have recovered we would love to see more of Central/South America and will be back to you. Thank you Sue for all your invaluable help and guidance, we would certainly recommend Last Frontiers - a terrific holiday, loved it.” - VB travelled in April 2018
Argentina
“Many thanks for your welcome home and for all your help. We arrived back safely after a really excellent trip and all the arrangements went very smoothly. Aside from the drive to and from Iruya, which was amazing if hair-raising, the highlights for both of us were probably the walk on the glacier and seeing the penguins on the Valdes peninsula. As very amateur bird lovers, it was also fabulous to see three burrowing owls on a short early evening walk behind the hotel at Tolombon. The drive to El Chalten and the views from Aguas Arriba and from the hotel in Cachi were also pretty special. Once again, very many thanks for all your input - your advice was invaluable.” - GB travelled in December 2018
Peru
“Thank you for your huge part in putting together this unique, tailored trip to ancient sites in Peru, and adjusting the schedule when necessary and adding things which made people feel very cared for. The trip was so fulfilling, I was wowed by many of the sites and loved Chavín de Huántar, but many of the other sites too including Pacopampa and Wilcahuain, plus many of the museums. Our main guide was a wealth of information and it was very moving to hear her talk about the devastation wrought by natural disasters and their impact on communities past and present. The contact with the archaeologists was a huge asset too - I'm really thankful for you enabling that.” - MR travelled in August 2019
Argentina
“A truly amazing holiday and seeing those wonders of nature was jaw dropping. We enjoyed the stunning scenery around Cachi, Cafayate and Salta and our guide was fantastic-his knowledge was amazing. Thanks again for your assistance and organisation.” - BH travelled in January 2019
Brazil/Argentina/Chile
“We had an amazing trip and have fabulous memories to treasure. Until the next adventure.” - JK travelled in August 2019
Peru
“Thank you for your email and homecoming welcome from our journey in Peru. It was a most wonderfully absorbing and organic trip and I’m still processing it. It was organic in its very nature - a group of disparate travellers responding to one person’s dream on the one hand, and an exciting gamble into the world of adventure on the other. Of course, none of us were archaeologists in the real sense but I felt we came close to it through our experience. We were well looked after and the hotels were welcoming and comfortable. One or two in the more inaccessible areas were more simple than others, but they were perfectly adequate and I enjoyed being closer to the spirit of Peru.
Our guides were excellent - all three were local, very professional and friendly. They shared with us their passion for their country and their interest in its history. They were educated, well informed and lively. Our guide in the north, who was with us for ten days or so, gave of herself totally, making sure that we were looked after and experienced Peruvian hospitality. The programme was extremely full, if anything a bit relentless. Some of the journeys were very long and there was little time for absorbing and reflecting on our experiences. On the other hand, the sites were distant from each other and by travelling so far we gained a picture of Peru which we might otherwise have missed. From the coastal desert, to the dry hills, to the green valleys into the Andes and the snow capped mountains it was stunning.
The archaeological sites were extraordinary and I was still fascinated when we came to number eleven. Each had its particular revelations and I came home feeling that I had been in the company of ancient peoples who were ever alive and just like me. The past was in the present. This was an ambitious trip, and in some ways we were pioneers, but it worked and will remain with me for a long time. Thank you.” - ES travelled in August 2019
