What Our Guests Have to Say About Our Private South America Tours

With over 20 years of experience planning guided tours to South America, we’ve left thousands of guests happy with their adventures. From private family escapes to luxury honeymoons, our guests have much to say about their travels in South America and beyond.
Our Enchanting Travels trip to Argentina and Uruguay was simply lovely. The itinerary was put together cooperatively, catering to our limited time and desired stops. The transfers were flawless. The drivers were superior, in our case, not only driving safely, but answering so many questions. The guides were excellent, which is perhaps to be expected since they have to study for 3 or 4 years in order to earn tour guide status. Accommodations were comfortable and clean. Delicious breakfasts were included at all hotels. It was so nice to have a local contact to assist us. In one instance, we lost a wallet, and our contact helped us track down where we had left it and arranged for it to be returned. We wanted to see where an ancestor was buried in the British Cemetery in Buenos Aires, and Enchanting Travels located the burial plot and wove that stop into our tour. These are examples of the excellent service we received.

To the Enchanting Travels Team, I want to give an astounding thank you to the team at Enchanting Travels. First, thanks to Bronwen who started it all for me. From our first conversation i felt as though I was talking to a friend who was creating the best vacation package a person can dream of to help me celebrate my birthday in one of the most beautiful countries I have ever been too. Hats off to Camila, my trip coordinator who kept in contact, keeping me updated and surprising me for my birthday. It was very reassuring as I was traveling by myself. Thanks to Gustav, who made sure every ran smoothly once I arrived in Lima. We had lovely conversations. And as for my guides and drivers…outstanding! BIG THANKS to my guides for each leg of my travels. Millie (Lima), Miguel (Cusco) – extra special thanks for giving me the opportunity to immerse myself in Peruvian culture and Darcy (Machu Picchu) Thank you all for your warm welcome and lovely entertaining, engaging and educational conversations. My driver Roberto, (Cusco). Quiet soul, but wonderful, patient, punctual and safe driver. Thank you for getting us to every destination, safe and sound. And to Olga (my long-lost Peruvian sister!). Shared some great laughs and stories. Lastly, thank you for making my birthday the best one I’ve ever had. Thank you for the delicious surprise cake. It warmed my heart. Enchanting Travels did an amazing job from start to finish. Thank you, thank you so much for taking good care of me and giving me a world class experience. Enchanting Travels…truly first-class service! Pisco Sour and warm wishes, Love Carolyn
