I am writing to thank you for arranging such a wonderful, wonderful trip for us. The price you quoted was so much less than what was quoted to us by our travel agent that I quite frankly had some doubts. No longer. Our trip has been fantastic. When we arrived in Buenos Aires, we exited at the left side of the baggage X-ray machines. There, in lights, was my husbands name! We entered a small office and the attendant called for our driver. A young woman came in and escorted us thru a huge maze of people holding signs and jostling for attention of all passengers, to our driver.
We went quickly thru the mess of traffic to our hotel where our room was waiting for us a 9 am. After our overnight flight we welcomed a warm shower. The boutique hotel 725 continental you picked for us is quiet, sparkling clean and very very nice. It is in a quiet business neighborhood, but only a couple of blocks from Florida street, and walking distance to Puerto Moderno. The tours you arrange in Buenos Aires were conducted by very professional tour guides, who were also fun. They came into the lobby of our hotel, called our name and were on time.
The transportation to the airport for our flight to Iguzau Falls was handled by Leonardo. He was as good a guide as many of the professionals. He was at the hotel at exactly 5:10 am. The hotel even arranged for us to have coffee and croissants before we left.
When we got to Iguazu a guide was once again waiting with a sign. There were others transported to other hotels in the same bus, however the driver handed each group a voucher, one at a time and explained each voucher to each group. It took a bit of time, but it made things much easier to understand.
The Sheraton perfectly suits our objectives. It is in the park. We can walk to the falls. We can see the falls from the hotel, and hear them at the pool. We can enjoy nature and quiet.
The tours you arranged for us....wow. I'm not sure I would have done this on my own. First, we did the falls tour all day walking around the falls with a guide and a group. I think we could have figured out how to get around on our own, but the guides were very well informed and made getting around efficient. Plus, we met people from all over the world. The tour ended with the optional falls adventure boat ride, up to the falls three time to experience the awesome power of the water all around us, under the boat and the shower over us. We then sped back to a boat launch where we were met by a truck for the ride thru the jungle. Again, the tour guide was excellent. Today we did the forest tour. We did not exactly understand what this trip included. It was ZIP lining and repelling down a water fall. I did work up enough courage to do the zip line but passed on the water fall. The zip line was actually a lot of fun. The ride thru the jungle was also quite an experience. Today, after our tours we relaxed at the pool, then took the train back to the falls to enjoy the falls when the crowds were gone and the sun was shining on the front of the falls. Happily the wind was also blowing the mist towards Brazil, so we really enjoyed the views.
Tomorrow we are leaving to return to the 725 in Buenos Aires and the tango dinner you arranged for us.
Thank you for the wonderful adventure. I will highly recommend your services to anyone.
Awesome planning, awesome logistics and perfect execution.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
