"It’s all the little things that make it great"

We piggybacked on a trip that had been created for friends, so had no say in the planning. But Nick and his team made the whole trip seamless. We were met at each of the airports we arrived in (3 separate countries) with excellent communications throughout, quick responses when any question arose whilst we were away and an excellent choice of hotels that weren’t the usual places where everyone else stayed. And he found some real gems, presumably honed from his huge experience and expertise in the area.
We didn’t use him to organise local tours, but if you needed that, I’m sure he’d know someone- he knows everyone!!!
Fantastic experience and would definitely recommend this company!

"Chile and Argentina"

I want to take a moment to commend The South America Specialist, in particular, Nick French, for his help in arranging the needed services for our trip to Chile and Argentina and being available when we had concerns.
The accommodations were grand and appropriate for the area. We particularly enjoyed Rio Serrano Hotel and Spa. The views from every Hotel location were magnificent, the all-inclusive package met our needs very well, and the service was beyond reproach.
Our rental cars were new and large enough for the four of us and our luggage.
Without hesitation, I strongly recommend trying The South America Specialist if one is interested in visiting Chile and Argentina.

"We give Nick and the South American crew a huge thumbs up"

We gave Nick and the South American specialists a vague idea of what we wanted to see in Chile Brazil and Argentina and he pulled together a wonderfully organised trip. The hotels were perfectly picked and the length of stays in each place timed to perfection.
The Vamoos app and follow through in Chile was wonderful

"Nick at the South American Specialists…"

Nick at the South American Specialists has a superb knowledge on where to go and what is special about everywhere worthwhile in South America. He seems to have been everywhere himself! Everybody knows him, and his advice on places to go and even restaurants was superb. I heartily recommend him and his service.

"Great company"

Excellent communications, Discussed trip options in a knowledgeable way. Managed the not inconsiderable problems with change in trip caused by Covid. Produced excellent App with all trip documents and itinerary on it. Readily available. Excellent partner in Argentina. All arrangements worked well.

"The trip was faultless"

The trip was faultless, the experience was just as expected, if not better.

"Nick from South America Specialists…"

Nick from South America Specialists organised us the best honeymoon one could have hoped for. He found spectacular hotels and organised everything, with pick ups from every airport and transfers. Nick made the process of organising the biggest and best holiday of our lives so easy, fitting in everything we wanted to do and accommodating all our requests! Cannot recommend them highly enough!

"Stellar Service and Planning for our South American Trip"

For our three-week South American sojourn booked with precious little time to spare, Nick did a remarkably impressive job. It combined city adventures with scenic day hikes and one extended trek. He arranged an excellent itinerary corresponding with our targets in Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia. Everything came off flawlessly: the logistics, the lodgings, the ground transport, the internal South American flights - of which there were many! - and proximity to what we wanted to do. A special shout out: The team for our three-day Peru trek ending in Machu Picchu and provided by Lima Tours, through Nick, was first-rate: including our guide Elias, and the cooks, provisioners, and horsemen. We were lucky there in that protests had ceased and it was safe to tour during our Peru window. Nick maintained close communication with on-the-ground sources to ensure we had the best information. Overall, Nick was on-the-spot when it came to communications. Very responsive, nothing left hanging. If you have a question or concern he will address it promptly. We would use Nick again, in a heartbeat!

"Fantastic organisation"

We had an absolutely fantastic time. As always your organisation of the trip was impeccable and we really appreciated all the transfers and bookings.
We loved Uruguay: the people are warm, friendly and very laid back; the nature (we saw so much wildlife on our trip!); the sunsets; the food and the whole experience.
The hotels you picked were fabulous - in particular we loved La Benedicion Lodge, which is out of this world both accommodation and service wise, with the most beautiful secluded river beach.
Narbona was also fantastic with a wonderful wine tasting. And the Gran Hotel Fray Bentos. The tour of El Anglo in Fray Bentos was the original impetus for this journey and was utterly amazing with an incredibly knowledgeable guide.
You really surpassed yourself with the hotels this time and we are so grateful that you suggested La Benedicion!
We are now saving up for the next trip.

"South America Specialits are simply invaluble"

I can't say enough about The South America Specialists and their total professional and customer service oriented approach to helping a customer. My friends and I started planning our trip that was to take place March 2020....we got about 5 days into it and then you guessed it.....COVID hit. We got the last flight home from Columbia and never got to Argentina. I was in constant contact with Ed and Nick at South America Specialists and they could not have been more helpful in answering my questions and calming my nerves about when we could go back. We scheduled and canceled this trip two more times before we actually got to go on November 18th. Again I can not say strongly enough how unbelievieble SAS were in helping me pull this together, they were patient, kind and very responsive to every question or issue I had that arose at the last minute. I would not hesitate to use them again and I know my trip was a success because of the involvement with South America Specialits and there invaluable assistance.
