Itinerary was great. Tour manager excellent. the only thing that didn’t live up to expectations was the ranch excursion, it was ok but expensive for what it was.

One of the best trips we have done with Great Rail. There are a lot of flights but totally worth it, to see everything that we did.

If you are after a holiday where the pace is relatively slow, an itinerary done to make sure you have 3 meals in the day at "normal hours": this is probably for you. We did go to all the most famous sights in each place and our guides in Buenos Aires, Iguazú and Rio were great, knowledgeable and taking the time on the coach to explain what we were going to visit, giving us the freedom to explore at our pace the sight. I wish the guides in Peru had done the same For me Lima was a waste of time; in general the time could have been optimized better by spending less time in airports and also flying in the evening, rather than spending the next morning/day travelling.
