Our Gold category trips include the best tours in each destination (usually done on private basis or in small groups), guaranteeing an exclusive first‑class and in-depth travel experience.
Additionally, airport transfers are provided on a private basis in all destinations.
Our Silver category trips have different and fewer tours than our Gold category trips, sometimes with different durations of stay in some destinations.
This is a great trip option, also including first‑class tours, but is a less exclusive and comprehensive experience than our Gold category trips.

"There was an unannounced airline strike on the day we were to fly home. We were stranded in Ushuaia because flights for the next 5 days were fully booked! Fortunately, Fred and his local team helped us promptly return home, leaving through Chile. A first-class operation!"
"We had a wonderful trip to Argentina and give Exploration Journeys our highest recommendation... it was much better than what I could have put together."
TRIP REVIEW OF BARBARA & CHRISTOPHER GOOTKIND AND FAMILY
"We had a wonderful trip to Argentina, and give Fred and Argentina Exploration Journeys our highest recommendation. My husband and I traveled with our two college-age kids.
We have done a lot of traveling. I usually make all of the plans myself, because I like to tailor the activities to exactly what we want to do. But, this year was too busy to figure it out. Thank goodness, because the trip we had with Argentina Exploration Journeys was much better than what I could have put together.
Fred was incredibly helpful and responsive, and gave great advice on planning the activities. We went back and forth a few times with itineraries to make sure it met our needs.
Not only was Fred completely professional and accurate, but all of the tour guides, activities, drivers etc. which were arranged by Fred were exceptional. Our trip was absolutely flawless until there was an unannounced airline strike on the day we were to fly home.
We were stranded in Ushuaia because flights for the next 5 days were fully booked! Fortunately, Fred and his local team helped us promptly return home, leaving through Chile, and he even then helped us succesfully claim a refund with the airline for the cancelled flight! A first-class operation. Thank you!"
