Wonderful Trip to Patagonia
Adventures in Patagonia with Iguazu Extension
Pauline and Michael, NSW, Australia, Mar 2026
The trip matched the itinerary and we saw and were given experiences exactly as outlined. Each of the local guides gave great value and our overall tour guide Luciano was the best guide we have ever travelled with. He dealt with all issues and made sure everything ran as faultlessly as possible. The spectacular scenery, the trip across the Patagonian read more steppe and then through the mountains were all truly wonderful. We would definitely recommend travelling with your company to Patagonia, and we believe that doing this trip was very good value for our money.
As we were warned in the Itinerary, the schedule often involved changes to the itinerary, some requiring very early starts resulting from changes to flight schedules. Several times we would arrive somewhere very late (eg. 10.30pm) and be required to be up very early to be collected - such as at 3.00, 4.00 or 5.00am.
This particularly occurred during the 3 day Iguazu Extension. For example we arrived late into Buenos Aires the night before and had a very early start the next morning to get the plane to Iguazu. We arrived there at 9am but there were no activities planned for the rest of the day and then we couldn’t check in to our excellent hotel room for about 4 hours.
By the end of our trip after several nights of late arrivals followed by very early departures we were pretty exhausted.

This was an amazing trip. Yarina Lodge is a wonderful place to go. Room facility is good and clean. A special praise to the staffs - the management, the restaurant, the kitchen, they are very attentive care. The guide is very professional, he customize programs according to your fitness level and requirement. This is a place for relaxation and also adventure.
Sacred Inca Valley Tour
Solo-ish Peru
Anthony, BC, Canada, Feb 2026
Fantastic tour! Be prepared for some pretty intense climbing/hiking at altitude. Machu Picchu was surreal. I learned so much more about the history of the Inca and the other cultures that were present throughout out the area. Fascinating and well worth the effort!
Beautiful, safe Colombia
Colombia: South America's Eternal Spring
Loyal Global Journey Travellers, NT, Australia, Jan 2026
Well organised, informative and a very safe trip to Colombia. Travelling with Tauck is a luxurious experience. The travel itinerary was interesting and varied, hotels were good quality, transportation was well organised and comfy and the food was plentiful (lots of quality three course meals included). Key highlights included a private tour of Boltero read more museum in Bogotá guided by Botero’s grandson, Colombian Paso Fino horse experience at Normandia Equestrian Center in Medellín, staying at the beautiful Sofitel Legend Santa Clara hotel in Cartagena and an impromptu salsa class in Cartagena. The local guides generously shared their knowledge along the way and were instrumental in facilitating efficient check in for internal airline flights. Highly recommended trip for those wanting to go beyond traditional places especially as tourism in Colombia continues to grow. Beautiful country, beautiful people.
Tip: If booking airline flights through Global Journeys, ask for each passenger to have their own individual travel reservation number. Due to airline system upgrades, Colombian/ Panamanian airlines at international airports do not appear to recognise multiple passengers booked under the same travel reservation number (you’ll be stuck at the airline check in counter for an additional 2 hours for each flight you take).

Beautiful Rio!
Brazil & Argentina Escape
Annette and Mark, QLD, Australia, Jan 2026
Thank you Hannah and Global Journeys for organising our wonderful trip to Brazil and Argentina. It was an amazing way to kick start our month long adventure in South America and Antarctica. We loved Rio De Janeiro, such a beautiful city. Huge highlight was visiting Iguassu falls and getting to see toucans and flamingos at the bird park. We also loved read more Buenos Aires, the Paris of South America. As per usual Hannah took care of everything for us and answered all our questions. We'll be booking with Hannah again in the future! Thank you Global Journeys.
Spectacular views and insightful experiences
Journeys: Discover Patagonia
Joanne, VIC, Australia, Dec 2025
Being a National Geographic Tour, the destinations lived up to expectations with magnificent views and we had a couple of educational lectures combined. Patagonia is a huge space and we covered a lot of distances quickly, thanks to the internal flights. Bus rides could be more spacious and comfortable, but great CEO from G Adventures and mostly very read more good to excellent hotels. Georgie as usual was highly efficient in organising this trip. Global Journeys' online system is an optimum mix of online self-service and available help from real humans for questions when needed. I would use this again.
