Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought worked really well. Brilliant guides. Transfers spot on...worked like clockwork

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought needs improving Late night/early morning flights - it retrospect it would've been better to have overnighted in key places rather than have the grind of sitting in airports and trying to keep our eyes open for boarding time.

“Short stays in Buenos Aries and Quito were brilliant - want to go back. Galapogas is indescribably - a sensory overload.”

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought worked really well. We were contacted, met at airport, everyone punctual, English speaking guides were excellent, one a little over bearing, but that’s OK, drivers very safe felt very confident, drove with great safety.

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought needs improving Our stay-in Puerto Vera’s was lovely but two days in a row of itinerary just a little long. Hotel in Puerto Varas was perfect.

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought worked really well. The land arrangements. The getting to Ushuaia a day early worked well. The choice of the vessel was particularly good.

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought needs improving The Iguazu falls tour was good but I was disappointed the first day Argentinian side, the guide, walked way to fast for me and others in the group. I asked her to slow down repeatedly and when she didn't, I asked her to point out the meeting point, left the group and walked at my own pace, meeting up in time for the return bus to the hotel. It is promoted as a full day tour but in reality is only a half day tour as all 3 tracks on that side and the optional boat road are completed before lunch so it is really only a half day tour and should not be rushed like that. On the second day we had the same guide, who continued to walk too fast, and what is worse, I was included in a Spanish/English group instead of exclusive English group. So everything had to be translated with the guide speaking twice as long and telling the Spanish speakers way more than the English speakers. She was not a good guide and when booking and English tour, it should be an English tour. Again, early pick up, rushed around the track, than back via her friends souvenir shop. If I had my time over, I would organise my own private tour through Viator or Trip Advisor, I would not use the company which Chimu use.

“I only booked accommodation in Buenos Aires and toured Iguazu Falls through Chimu. The Buenos Aires hotel is in an excellent location, rooms have what you need although not much lighting and decor is tired and outdated. The included breakfast is very ordinary with staff coughing and sneezing on the buffet and terrible coffee! I booked a city tour, a tango show with dinner and an Argentine cooking class privately and had not trouble getting around Buenos Aires on foot or by taxi. Iguazu Falls accommodation was in an excellent location in the middle of town in easy walking distance to the 3 countries monument, restaurants, shops and cafes but was old and tired with noisy patrons around the pool all night disturbing sleep of other guests and a very basic breakfast, too late for early morning departures on Iguazu falls day tours. All airport transfers were on time and easy to find however the drivers were variable from one turning up in a suit, speaking excellent English, to a young guy who did not help with my bag, yelled out the window at a mate in another car to a woman who spoke no English and clearly thought the lane markings were just for decoration.”
