Discover Brazil Client Travel Testimonials

Travel Consultant:
Fabrice was recommended to us by a friend. He was very helpful, accommodating, and listened to us. He was very responsive to changes we requested. I would definitely contact him again for future travel.
Buenos Aires:
The Tango Show we attended was good. The venue was small and our table had good viewing. The food was average and seemed to be prepared in well in advance of our ordering. The wine offered was very mediocre, not what we expected to be sesrved in Argentina.
Iguassu Falls:
Our tour guide, Virginia Hauptman, was excellent. She even helped us find a wine shop on the was back to our hotel. She was very helpful getting us through the border crossings. I was glad to have a guide while in Iguacu.
The hotel was good. The food was excellent and the restaurant very convienient. We were not pleased that we had to pay for internet access. For the cost of the rooms, we felt it should be included. We did not like that the rooms did not have many plugs to charge elecctronics. Also, the plugs were not universal. The hair dryer provided in our bathroom did not work in the plug on the the wall. We had to request an adapter, which they did provide.
The tours were fabulous. Both sides of the Falls were well worth seeing. We LOVED the Bird Park as well.

Rio de Janeiro: We only used the pre-arranged guide to pick us up at the airport and take us to the hotel. She was very good and she picked us up in her own car and stayed with us until we had checked in successfully. She also confirmed our tour for the next day. She did not transport us back to the airpor as we were picked up by my friend and driven to Angra and then on to Sao Paulo, where we stayed at the Marriott at the airport the night before we flew home. The guide for the Jeep Tour, 4 Wonders tour was very good and we had a lot of fun with him. Thanks Fabrice, overall, I would give you and the adventure you put together for us an A! Great job and thanks. We now may start planning a trip to Chile for the wine country and then back to Argentina and a trip to Patagonia!
 
Iguassu Falls: The hotel was out of the way. We would have been better to stay closer and on the Argentinian side where you get more for your money (sheraton). The room we were put into was old, no view and very small and hot. I asked for a room change and we got a better, newer room, but still not the quality that we had prior on the trip. The hotel was a family hotel, with high prices on all food and only had buffet and was on a very busy highway. We were removed and could not walk to any other restaurants. Was very nice outset. The pool, the grounds, etc.
 
Buenos Aires: It was a great city and our guide and driver were great. The only problem we had was at the airport getting into the county as we had not been advised that there was a recipricol fee for Americans to pay, $160 each. We waited in passport control for more than an hour, then was turned away and directed to a computer against the wall in which we had to go on line and pay with a credit card. It was all in Spanish and we had to wait until someone could help us. It was very much a waste of time that could have been avoided if we had known. The fee has been in place for many years.
 
Mendonza. Very nice. However the high-priced picnic lunch in the Andes was a huge disappointment. We asked for vegetarian, which is was not and we asked for red wine and received a bottle of white. We had meat sandwiches, a salad, and dessert bars that one could find in a grocery store. It was no where near a gourmet meal. Far from it. The bus load of people stopped at a roadside cafe in a small town with no view and no where to eat our �picnic� lunch outside. We weren�t allowed to eat in the restaurant because we brought our own food, so we had to go into a back area of a bar and eat among three little kids playing and watching cartoons on the TV. We would have been better off buying from the restaurant. It was a bad experience, but it did not ruin our amazing trip through the Andes. Was a good recommendation, just skip the prepared lunch next time.

The entire Iguassu trip was fantastic. Everything worked very well with the tour guide. They were on-time and answered all our questions.
 
The bird park was good, but due to the weather we didn�t enjoy as much.
