"Our very first trip to Argentina and beautiful Patagonia couldn’t have been easier, more pleasant, or more trouble-free."
"Every detail of the trip was carefully planned and executed by Exploration Journeys."
"A special bonus for us was Fred’s going the extra mile to arrange a 'surprise' scenic flight."
TRIP REVIEW OF PHILIP MILLER AND COURTNAY MALCOLM
"Our very first trip to Argentina and beautiful Patagonia couldn’t have been easier, more pleasant, or more trouble-free. Every detail of the trip was carefully planned and executed by Exploration Journeys. Our only job was to follow our excellent guides as they led us over magnificent glaciers, through lush trails and over rivers both calm and rapid.
A truly spectacular journey; it was as though Fred were with us at every moment, making arrangements, meeting schedules, designing our experiences and leading us to adventures we will be talking about for many years to come.
A special bonus for us was Fred’s going the extra mile to arrange a 'surprise' scenic flight."
