TRAVELLER STORIES FROM SOUTH AMERICA
Recently my husband and I travelled to South America organised by South America Tours. Nico was our main contact and was always readily available and approachable and he had wonderful back-up staff. We had an excellent trip visiting Santiago, Easter Island, Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls from both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides, Quito and the Galapagos. All of our plans went like clockwork. Hotels, locations and transport were all thoughtfully and so well chosen. Pick-ups from airports and guides were exceptional. Our guides were very well informed and able to pass on their knowledge to make our trip so very interesting. We had a wonderful trip and would thoroughly recommend Nico of South America Tours.
We would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to Nico & Paula of South Americas Tour for organising our tours/air travel to South America in April/May 2017. It was a memorable holidays for all of us, our group of 24 members! We cannot emphasised how much patience Nico & Paula have with us changing our itineraries (over 11 times!) and air travels with the places we wanted to visit and the knowledge & experiences of South America. With Nico’s knowledge of South America, he was able to customise/guide us where to visit first thus leaving Peru last so we can get acclimatised to the high altitudes. The choices of hotels were excellent and the transportation & tours that Nico have in his network are amazing.
The tour organized by Nico of South America tours for myself and three companions was amazing. We listed places we wanted to see and our time frame and Nico took over from there. The experiences he included in our itinerary were varied and thoroughly enjoyable. His organization of all of our transfers enhanced our tour. The people who met us ensured we arrived at our accommodation, understood the currency and customs of the place we were visiting and then assisted us in all aspects of the processes for our ongoing flight. Our tour was stress free as depicted my one of the seals we encountered. Thank you Nico I will definitely recommend you to my friends and others who plan to visit this amazing continent.
