"Trip to Chile 2024"

We had a tailor-made trip to Chile planned by Nick of The South America Specialists. Overall our experience with The South America Specialists was very good. During planning Nick took the time to discuss our requirements and give advice. Once booked Nick remained responsive to requests and clarifications. As a result it felt personal and we liked the fact that you are dealing with the same person all of the time using their specialist knowledge. In addition, unfortunately we had a family bereavement during our trip which resulted in us returning early. Nick was very helpful in providing the detail for our insurance claim etc. We would recommend The South America Specialists.

"A Wonderful Experience"

My wife and I travelled to Chile,Argentine and Uruguay with South American Specialists. The arrangement made, worked perfectly and most importantly the support provided locally meant we could enjoy a worry free trip, knowing local help and clarification was just a call away .
As usual, I have used the company for Africa and South America trips in the past, the accommodation more than met our expectations and the itinerary worked well for us.
The holiday provided us with many great memorises, and we were able to enjoy the month long adventure knowing all arrangement and support were in place.

"Patagonia to Ibera - Perfecto"

The pacing of our trip was perfect. Just enough time in each location to feel like we had maximized our experience. Our itinerary was complicated and at every step the details were executed perfectly (ex., drivers showing up on time). Also, Nick spent a lot of time talking to us during the planning process to understand our interests and traveling style. He clearly listened and provided excellent advice.

"Argentina and Uruguay Nick French of South American Specialists "

after chatting with Nick about a few wishes as part of our trip he provided us with a excellent schedule which included contacts/hotels/transfers etc at each location along with recommended day events. The trip itself was over 3 weeks and covered the four corners of Argentina aswell as Uruguay. I would recommend this as an excellent trip for those wishing to get aa good experience of these two countries.

"Chile is unique and extraordinary."

Luckily we found Nick and his company on an internet search when planning a 40th wedding anniversary to Chile. It just took a conversation and a few emails to come up with a fabulous itinerary.They were supportive and not pushy. We talk everyday about the trip and how it was great that we had the help of The South American Specialists!!! We would not hesitate to use their services and knowledge in the future!

"A pleasure to work with when planning a trip to Chile"

Friendly interaction with rapid responses to questions and good suggestions for alternatives when planning. Very quick to reply with helpful info during the trip, and partnered with a professional local support team.

"Antarctic cruise Dec’24 - once in a lifetime experience "

Nick, one of the founders of this travel agency organised an unforgettable and once in a lifetime trip to Antarctic for me and my husband during Dec’24.

We first approached Nick during 2022 based on a friend’s recommendation and he curated the Antarctic cruise itinerary for Dec’22. Due to unfortunate family circumstances, we had to cancel this trip and Nick was so helpful in processing the refunds for us.

During Nov’24, we contacted Nick again, hoping to book such a trip last minute during December which was quite unusual based on the nature of this particular destination. Again Nick was so accommodating and managed to find us 2 slots on the Antarpply classic cruise.

Around this cruise, Nick curated an impeccable itinerary for us including days to explore the city centre and countryside of Buenos Aries as well as Ushuaia which is the port city where the cruise departs. The accommodations arranged by him at these different locations were all lovely with their own unique personalities and attractions, at a reasonable price point.

The highlight of this trip was definitely the Antarpply cruise to Antarctic, contributed by its passionate crew members who took such good care of us passengers throughout the 10-day cruise.

I can’t recommend enough this travel agency to anyone who is considering a trip to South Americas as I am sure that you will get an unforgettable experience at the price point you have determined.

"Look No Further"

Nick put together an amazing 2 week adventure in Argentina for my husband and me. From my first inquiry, Nick was great with communication, learning about what type of trip we wanted and then delivering recommendations and options for us to choose from and making changes based on our feedback. We had a complicated itinerary seeing 4 areas of the country with 4 hotels, 4 internal flights, 5 organized tours, and airport drop offs and pickups in each location. Every aspect of the trip went off without a hitch. Every time we arrived at an airport, a driver was waiting for us. Every time we arrived at a hotel, the concierge had been contacted and confirmed our itinerary in that location. Our tours in each area were great as were the hotels that Nick recommended and booked for us, each of them very different and wonderful in their own unique way. I would highly recommend the South American Specialists and plan on using them again when we head to Chile in 2026.

"Nick is a pleasure to deal with."

Nick is a pleasure to deal with.
He was able to accommodate the various aspects of our desired trip with great efficiency and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking to book a trip.

"A successful trip in Brazil "

The lodges chosen were staffed by lovely, efficient people. The food was good. Our guides met us on time and were all lovely. The travelling time in country was a lot, however each destination was worth the time in this huge and lovely country. A carefully planned trip, that more than met our expectations.
