Hi Joe,
Thank you very much for writing a few words about your recent experience using us for planning your upcoming trip to Argentina. It was a pleasure to have been able to help.
I hope you enjoy your time out there and that the football matches live up to the expectation! :)
All the best,
Nick and the team @The South America Specialists
Result was a trip of a lifetime, best yet
At 60 and seen so many places, this was our best trip ever.
What an amazing trip of a lifetime. We have travelled to many places and this was 3-4 weeks, Argentina followed by 3 days in Rio.
Nick was amazing in his guidance, itinerary, guides, places, hotels, what a perfectly organised trip. We couldn't have had any better as everything was what we needed at our fingertips and we didn't need a thing.
As a result, we saw so much, Buenos Aires, Puerto Madryn, Ushuaia, El Calefate, Bariloche, Iguazu, then onto Rio.
Thank you so much. We fully recommend and will be back for another trip

It was great to hear that you enjoyed you trip and that it lived up to expectations (and that we managed to get everything in there!) :)

A real gem of a company.
So pleased I found this company. The information, efficiency and care were exemplary. A truly bespoke holiday for six of us where real interest was shown in what we wanted. Two generations, dietary requirements and mobility issues but everything was arranged superbly. Hotels that suited us all perfectly and a variety of activities for the different ages. Excellent guides and travel arrangements even when an air traffic controllers strike hit.

Hi Ellen,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a few words about your recent family trip with us to Chile and Argentina!
As you say, there were a few logistics we needed to work through while you were out there, thank you for being patient with the airline and air traffic control strikes...Argentina is going through a period of adjustment at the moment.
I was really glad to hear that everyone in the family enjoyed the trip and that you all got what you were hoping to from it. I will be passing on your praise to all of our colleagues on the ground who work so hard to make these things run as smoothly as they do!
I wish you all a very good 2026 and look forward to hearing from you again in the future should you need a hand with another South America or and African trip in the future.
All the best,
Nick and the team @The South America Specialists
This is why you use a professional travel planner
We asked Nick to modify one of his standard itineraries, for our trip to Patagonia. He quickly grasped what we wanted, and was flexible and forthcoming as we worked out the details (including in several instances finding us similar but less costly options than what he first suggested). We were totally satisfied with him, and the plan, as we set out ...and then our first flight, to Buenos Aires, was canceled. This meant we would definitely miss our connecting flight to Ushuaia, and because of that potentially miss the departure of our cruise. We contacted him immediately, and in a series of texts and phone calls through the night, he found us an alternate routing from BA to Ushuaia, and made the necessary adjustments to our hotel and airport transfer arrangements. Because of the cancelation, we had to spend a night and day in New York City, but because of his support we were able to do that without stress. This is why you work with a professional travel planner. (This is also why you buy good travel insurance.) We would use The South America Specialists again without hesitation.

I am very glad that everything else went smoothly with your trip and we look forward to hearing from you again should you ever want to travel to South America (or Africa).

Excellent service and competitive quotes
From start to finish we received excellent service from Nick at the South America Specialists.
From a cancelled 2020 trip due to Covid, Nick refunded 💯 of our costs and so it was a no- brainer to use him again for our 2026 trip to Argentina and Brazil.
He planned a perfect itinerary with excellent hotels, trips, transfers and guides. Even with 5 internal flights, it was seamless and we were in WhatsApp communication 24/7 with the local tour companies in each destination and with Nick back in the UK.
A travel app was provided where our whole trip was uploaded which really helped on a daily basis.
I have already and will continue to recommend Nick and his team to anyone travelling to South America or on African safari. His quotes are competitive and service excellent.

Hi Jeanine,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind review of your experiences! As you say, your trip has been a long time coming so it is so good to hear that it was everything you were hoping it would be.
We look forward to hearing from you again in the future,

Invaluable in helping plan and book our Argentinian adventure.
Nick was recommended to me by my sister-in-law as he had helped her plan a trip to Argentina- and I’m so glad that we had him on board. Nick was able to give great advice and made lots of recommendations for our three week trip to Argentina. He was very patient and very responsive, and listened carefully to the types of places we wanted to stay and visit. Once on the trip, we had access to a great app and it was invaluable having local contacts to help us (needed on day one due to a flight delay). I would thoroughly recommend Nick and the company if you are considering an adventure in Latin America.

Hi Jacqui,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write some thoughts about your recent trip with us to Argentina. It was really great to hear that you all had a good time (even with Aerolineas messing around with the schedules a bit at the last minute!) and it sounded like your time in the lakes was a particular highlight, I have already passed on your praise to the team on the ground.
We hope you have a great 2026 and look forward to hearing back in the future should you ever wish to travel back to South America (or Africa).

Another excellent South American adventure
Nick did a great job fitting together the moving parts for our 2nd South American trip booked through his agency. The guides, drivers, and activities were tip-top. We were on uncertain terrain in northern Colombia and had some worries about things but Nick worked with us patiently and everything turned out quite well. Do not miss the Minca waterfalls, and hiking the Kogui Trail of Knowledge in Tayrona National Park. And if you come to Santa Marta and Cartagena with an open heart and mind you'll be primed for learning and fun. There were many more special outings; all of them were on-point. The local agency and guides really know their territory and convey their knowledge with warmth and depth.

Fantastic trip to Argentina with South America Specialists
The South America Specialists' service, knowledge, advice and response times were excellent. Nick listened to what we were looking for from our 3.5 week trip to Argentina (November 2025) and crafted an itinerary which completely matched our aspirations and went beyond them. The internal ground transport and accommodation arrangements were faultless and, although we were travelling alone, we always felt fully supported by their easy communication options and their travel app. We would thoroughly recommend using South America Specialists for any trips to South America.

Brilliant solo trip to Patagonia and Antarctica …
I have just come back from a solo trip to Patagonia and Antarctica organised by Nick. I had a wonderful time for over 3 weeks. Both parts of the trip were masterly organised by Nick, the pace was great and the communication during the organising very good. He took into account my preferences and his suggestions were excellent as he obviously has an in depth knowledge of the area. The hotels were very good, the expedition on the MV Ushuaia beyond my expectations and the trekking in Torres del Paine unforgettable. I can only warmly recommend Nick and his company.

Love the South American Specialists
The South American Specialists were so helpful to us in planning our trip from Canada. We knew we wanted to visit Chile, Argentina and Brazil but unsure where to start. Nick was extremely knowledgeable and listened carefully to our objectives. He put together a detailed itinerary with specialized excursions. It was perfect! We stayed at high end hotels and it went off without a hitch. We were well taken care of, before and during the trip. We made life long memories. Highly recommend using Nick at the South American Specialists.

Beautiful visit of Brazil highlights
It’s not the first time we booked our trip at The South America Speciialists so our expectations were high. Brazil is a big country and in combination with our wishes regarding places to visit for a specific number of nights, it was a complex puzzle to fit everything in. Nick created an itinerary that worked out great, and we had a dream holiday. It exceeded our expectations.

Thank you for taking the time to write a few words about your recent trip with us...it was a pleasuer to have been able to put together another trip for you! :)
As we were discussing, Brazil is such a vast country and so taking your time to both get around and stay maybe an extra night in the locations really helps to get more of a feel for the place! I was very pleased to hear that it all went smoothly. I will be passing your your feedback to our partners and the hotels involved who, of course, deserve most of the credit.
I hope you have a great end to the year and into 2026 and look forward to hearing from you again in the future for the next trip to South America (or Africa!).

Brazil Beach, Falls and Art
Nick put together a fabulous 5 star trip to Brazil! We went to Rio for the beach and the Cristo, to Iguassu Falls for the nature and the tremendous falls and to Sao Paulo for all their diverse and fantastic art from the streets to the museums. All our tours and tour guides were top notch with Rio Life that he arranged. The best part was that his pricing for the same hotels and tours was less than the tours from the US companies!! Don’t let all the warnings about the crime keep you from this fabulous country! (Ok there’s crime. Just be cautious. That’s why you have a tour guide and stay at the best hotels!! ).

5 Stars Excellent Knowledge
From start to finish, our trip to Argentina was absolutely seamless, and that’s thanks to the outstanding service provided by The South American Specialist and especially by Nick. He was incredibly knowledgeable, offering insightful suggestions that made our itinerary truly special. Every question we had was answered quickly and thoroughly—his responsiveness really stood out and gave us so much peace of mind during the planning process.
Once we arrived, everything ran like clockwork. Transfers, tours, accommodations—all were perfectly coordinated. The local representative on the ground was also fantastic: attentive, friendly, and always available when needed.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this agency (and Nick!) to anyone planning a trip to Argentina.

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.

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.

It was really great to hear how much you enjoyed both destinations, particularly Uruguay as it is still, very much, the road less travelled in South America and so has plenty to offer!

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.
