GBGuides knew their subjects and were… Guides knew their subjects and were polite, patient and reliable. One time only, our excursion pick-up came late (1/2 hour late, early morning pick-up) even though we had discussed the scheduled time the night before. No other glitches occurred.

GBBeyond expectations! We had a truly wonderful, memorable trip in South America, and we are so happy we found Southern Explorations to organize our trip. They provided expert guidance and patiently answered questions during the planning stages. When we arrived, the local guides and personal service were outstanding. The itinerary, travel arrangements and excellent hotels all made for a seamless and fun trip. Great mix of hiking and relaxation in beautiful surroundings. Southern Explorations' expertise in knowing what to visit and how to plan activities made the trip live up to its “luxury” billing.

GBLook for further for the best company to help you get the most out of South America Eric, listened to where I wanted to go and what I wanted to experience and set up all the arrangements which were professionally executed with loving care. After we arrived in Quito, we had 7 flights before we left Santiago to go back to the USA. Southern Exploration set them all up with transfers and hotels as well as an Amazon cruise, the lakes crossing in Patagonia from Argentina to Chile and finally excursions around Puerto Montt. Eric never tired of my endless questions and gladly changed things as requested. He even checked in about 1/2 way through our itinerary to see if all was well.The accounting staff is totally squared away, too.I can only say good things about the total operations of Southern Exploration. You will be very, very pleased if you use them. They are still the first class tour company my friends and I have used starting in 2008.

GBTorres del Paine and Chilean Fjord Trip Everything either met or exceeded our expectations. The excursions we booked from the Hotel Los Torres were wonderful, and often, we had private or almost private guided experiences. The food and lodgings were great. The cruise through the Chilean Fjords on the Skorpios III was terrific - great itinerary and glacial viewing, very attentive and friendly service and good food. We had a very fun and enjoyable trip.
