TRIP REVIEW OF DEBRA & DANIEL KAMIN
"My husband and I just returned from an incredible trip to Argentina with Exploration Journeys. They were amazing. We were thrilled by the service Fred and his team provided. They helped us plan a trip that was perfect for us. Every detail was taken care of. All of our questions both when we were preparing for the trip and while we were on the trip, were answered promptly.
We had a different day tour every day of the trip in 3 different cities. We had several flights as we visited different cities. All of the transitions happened in a timely and seamless manner.
Our guides were sensational, and the local operators they worked with were wonderful. The natural beauty of Patagonia is unsurpassed and we got to enjoy every moment because Exploration Journeys has landed the perfect trip. We cannot say enough good things about Fred and Exploration Journeys."
