13-day couple trip to Brazil
“I used Rough Guides to plan a once in a lifetime trip for my husbands 50th to Brazil. Angela planned the whole trip and we chatted to understand everything we wanted to see. Communication was amazing throughout, even during the trip we were contacted the in advance with all booking confirmations. The accommodation selected was perfect, in all 4 places we stayed. Copacabana, Paraty, Illa Grande and Ipanema. It was a trip of a lifetime and I have nothing but praise for the whole booking process. Highly recommend!!”

10-day couple trip to Brazil & Argentina
“Eric Van Hecke crafted an unforgettable experience for us in Argentina and Brazil. During the planning process, he was patient and worked to tailor the trip to our specific requests. Our hotel stays, transfers, and guides were wonderful. We got off to a rocky start in Rio and Eric stopped by the restaurant to meet us. He listened to our concerns and made a much appreciated change. What a surprise that he came to personally meet us. Throughout our travels he was always available by telephone. Eric’s planning allowed us to relax and enjoy our time in South America with worrying about flights, transfers, and booking private excursions. Thank you!”
