Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought worked really well. The tour itinerary and the guides were fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. The tours were mostly well paced giving a good balance of planned activities and free time. Also more the one night in any destination definitely makes a huge difference.

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought needs improving The Easter Island tours were multilingual (German/English). This worked most of the time but the guide wasn't good at sharing when a question was asked in one language. It was pointed out to me that it was a German company when I asked for the feedback form in English, not German. It left me wondering what information I had missed out on that wasn't repeated in English. At the lunch stop our meals were very slow and we were told to come before we had finished. We didn't have enough time at the beach for anyone to have a swim. Maybe an earlier start on this day tour would be better.

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought worked really well. The Horizon cruise at The Galapagos was excellent. Great activities, unbelievable nature and a terrific crew. It was also just the right size - 8 cabins.

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought needs improving I don't think anything needed improving, but I would have used more of Chimu's booking services if things were more economical. For instance, $200/pp cost for transfers from Lima airport to the hotel in Baranco doesn't represent good value for money.

“South America is an exciting travel destintation with plenty to do and see. It is easy to get around, the people are very friendly and the food is amazing. Safety has never been a concern and people are very grateful to tourists for visiting their country.”

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought needs improving Too long in Buenos Aires and not enough time in Rio de Janeiro. Itinerary was a bit disjointed - didn't know who to expect from one day to the next.

“It all ran like clockwork and the accommodation was fantastic. I don’t think that there was anything I would change. The glaciers were incredible, I was very lucky with the weather for the whole week with it being unusually calm. Brazil had experienced some big rains so the falls had double the amount of water travelling through them than they normally would that time of year.”
