Brazil & Argentina are both stunning HOWEVER planning from both EF & the tour guide could use some SERIOUS improvements and the “emergency” team NEEDS to do better... I complained to my boyfriend and family of having bad vertigo, blurry vision, usual fatigue and headaches on...

This trip was a whirlwind! I felt like I was gone for a month- and went home with lifelong connections. The group dynamics were great- Jorge was an awesome tour director and we were all so sad to say goodbye. I will definitely be booking a tour again with him as a guide- he has...

Great Tour. The group size was perfect [25]. Definitely be careful about the flights due to the colder weather up north. Flights had been delayed for other members of the group. They missed 3 days in the beginning. Thankfully, my flights thru EF were great both ways. Be mindful...

I had a really good time! Our tour guide Gabriel did extra things with us during the trip. He arranged for our group to take a day trip to Paraguay! He brought us to a futbol game in Rio! And taught us all how to make the national drink of Rio the Caipirinha. The trip itself was...
