Thanks to you and many others, we are home in Columbus Ohio safe and sound. We certainly appreciate all your efforts and those with whom you work. We found your services to be outstanding and well worth the money. We will do our best to refer people to you and your company, as we could not have been more pleased with the services we received.
We loved Santiago and are already telling our friends how kind and warm the people of Chile and Santiago are to visitors. You can be proud of your country and hopefully, it will be able to overcome the dreadful earthquake.
Best wishes for continued success.

Maria.
I just wanted to thank you for putting together our trip to Patagonia. I never realized how beautiful Patagonia is. Everything went perfect and very timely and we had a wonderful time. The hotels exceeded my expectations and the land operators were terrific. Thanks for your help.

Hi Maria,
I just want to thank you for all of your help on our Chile trip. It was wonderful, and really could not have gone any more smoothly than it did. I have to admit that I was nervous about all the transfers happening like they were supposed to. But the transfer people were there waiting for us every time--even when our bus from Bariloche to Puerto Montt was two hours late because of delay at the border crossings.
The trans-Andean crossing was terrific. We had the good fortune to have a perfectly clear sunny day for it. The Explora Hotel really is a very special place. We had to take a deep breath at the cost. But we thought we really got what we paid for and more. And the Tierra Atacama was great too--a little rougher on the edges than the Explora, but still a great place. At both the Explora and Tierra Atacoma the food was absolutely five star. The car hire to Valparaiso and Vina on the last day of our trip worked out really well. The driver and guide were quite happy to extend the tour a few extra hours for a modest fee, and then drop us off at the airport. As we had plenty to do and see, the extra time made for a better and less rushed excursion.
So thanks again for helping make this such a great trip. You have some very satisfied clients. (I will be happy to give you any details on any parts of the trip that you might be particularly interested in.)

Just a quick note to let you know that the trip you arranged to portillo went off without a hitch.
Everything was exactly as expected and no suprises.
Thanks for your help and I will be speaking to you about other trips.

Dear Latintrip
We had a wonderful time on the trip to Chile. The tour guide from ADS Mundo (Emilena - I think that's how you spell it) was especially good and the tours of Santiago and Val Parasio/Vina del Mar made it much more than just a ski trip.
The food up at Valle Nevado was also really good- better than we had in Italy! (I am Italian so that's a particularly hard thing to admit). The wine was better, too.
I will recommend you if someone ask for advice on travel to Latin America
Thanks again for all your help.

Mr. Scarcello's party has returned from Portillo and Santiago with much praise for the trip. They all said that the hotel, particularly the food, at Portillo was nothing less that outstanding. The service at both hotels was super and that the arrangements went very smoothly. They have all called me to express their gratitude for the work in arranging the trip.
They keep thanking me, so I wanted to thank you myself for your guidance and expertise in putting the trip together. Your experience and knowledge of the area was invaluable and have made me out to be star in the eyes of my boss and his friends. The credit belongs to you and I thank you.
Mr. Scarcello's party took quite an interest in the wineries and was wondering if you know of an expedititious way to order cases from a particular winery for shipment to the States. Thank you again so much for all you help.

Dear Maria,
Thank you for all your help setting up our recent trip to Chile: Seiter - May 9-23.
We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in Chile. The tours that you set up for the Atacama Desert and Easter Island were excellent. The accommodations were good and tours companies were very professional. The Neruda Apartment Hotel worked very well with us since we stayed in Santiago for 6 nights. We did take your advice and took day trips for example to Valparaiso and to the Cajon de Maipo.
Again, thank you for your travel services.
Sincerely,
Julie Seiter |

Latintrip!!
The Explora Hotel was fabulous! We had a wonderful time.
I can't begin
to tell you how much we appreciated your help in getting
us the eservations!
Thank you also for the gift we found in our room.
I was a bit nervous in the beginning, and I think I probably
pestered you
too much! However, you came through, and we had an unforgetable experience!
Many thanks.

Dear
Maria,
I want to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip. Everyone
was so professional, and the guides on all the tours were
so knowledgeable. Everyone was right on time and we had
absolutely no glitches. We absolutely loved the Hotel
Santa Cruz and thought the Hotel Galeria was lovely for
an urban environment.
Thank you so much for your help, professionalism, and
expertise in making our trip to Chile a truly memorable
experience! Your advice and attention to detail was greatly
appreciated. Chile is a lovely country and we were so
pleased to have experienced it with your help.

Hi
Maria:
We have fallen in love with South America. Everything in
Argentina and Chile was perfect. The travel guides and accommodations--
both were wonderful. The highlights were: The exquisite
Alvear Palace and Tango night/dinner at Esquina Carlos Gardel
in Buenos Aires (also great shopping in Buenos Aires and
nice city tour with guide), the beautiful Llao Llao between
Lake Nahuel Huapi and Lake Moreno, the “sail”
across the Andes with snow capped volcanoes and wild flowers
arriving at lovely Puerto Varas on Lake Llanquihue with
a striking view of the perfect Osorno Volcano; We liked
everything about the Explora Lodge—it turned out that
the weather for our entire trip was unusually sunny and
clear with occasional rainbows. Only the second day hike
at Torres del Paine was windy with sleet/rain/ (and snow
for Lee who took the challenge of the hike to the British
Camp) but even that day it stopped raining for lunch and
the wind and rain just gave us a better feel for Patagonia.
The vacation gods were definitely with us. The Explora staff
and guides were all professional, informative and service
oriented. Each day on the trail the guides unloaded their
packs and carefully laid out a checkered table cloth for
a delicioso lunch with hot soup, sandwiches with guacamole,
artichoke hearts, home-made deserts and coffee with Baileys
optional. We thoroughly enjoyed the Grey Glacier hike/glacier
boat trip and the barbecue and horseback ride at the Estancia
with the gaucho’s. We saw condors, guanaco families,
rhea families and eagles. The purple and pink lupines and
other wildflowers en route were absolutely stunning. We
missed the catamaran/zodiac from Torres del Paine to Puerto
Natales because of high winds but loved the penguin trip
the next day on the way to Punta Arenas (the area opened
about 8 AM – a great time when there are very few
people in the study area and the penguins are out of their
burrows with their young with one mate parading to the ocean
for food. There are extensive board walks and a special
viewing area to watch the gymnastics in the waves). The
Ritz Carlton in Santiago was another plus, plus, plus –the
rooms were lovely and the staff so accommodating with our
late departure time. Every transfer went smoothly—the
guides were always on time and extremely helpful with interactions
at the airports. Thank you again for working so patiently
with us to make all the pieces fit together. We will definitely
highly recommend you personally and also Latintrip to our
friends and families.
Best
regards,

Hi
Maria
I just got back from Argentina yesterday & wanted to
let you
know we had a wonderful trip! Thank you for all your arrangements
--
everything went very smoothly & there were no glitches
-- which was pretty
amazing given the complexity of travelling in Patagonia!
We really loved
the Explora Lodge -- that property is outstanding, &
the weather was
perfect. Thanks for the bottle of wine you sent, which was
a nice
welcome upon our arrival.
We appreciate all your help to make our holiday trip a memorable
one.
Best regards,
Carole Henmi. |

Dear
Maria,
I just wanted to give you a little feedback on our trip,
which we returned home yesterday. It was fantastic start
to finish.
Our third leg of our trip was the Hotel Santa Cruz Plaza,
and what a great place! The staff and facility were just
great. We had a couple days of touring the area's museum,
the wineries and an olive oil business. The town is very
charming. We will definately be recommending the hotel
and general area to our friends and family. And I personally
look forward to returning some day.
Mucho Gracias to you for all your help and suggestions.
It all worked out beautifully.
Continued success to you,
David Reitan |
Hello
Ceci,
Returning from Chile, I would like to inform you that everything
was OK and that all the services were provided according
to what was agreed.
Transfers, guides, excursions and car rental were just great.
Concerning the hotels, only the rooms of Charles Darwin
Hotel in Puerto Natals were quite small and the hotel has
no other services than the (poor) breakfast. The Casa de
Don Tomas, in San Pedro de Atacama, is a basic hotel but
the rooms have enough space. All the rest were according
to our expectations.
In general, the only problem with the trip is time. To visit
Chile we need, at least, 2 months, not weeks!
Thank you very much for all your help and above all for
the professionalism shown. I certainly would recommend your
agency (and your personal) services to any of my friends
who will consider a future trip to Chile.
Best regards.
José Pina. |

Maria.
I just wanted to thank you for all of your help with our
trip to Chile. The guides and services that Turismo provided
were excellent. We had A women that picked us up at the
airport and did our 2 tours in Santiago. Her name was
Julie (or Julia) and then we had a man named James who
took us on the tour of Vina/Valparaiso and transported
us there. They could not have been better.
The hotels were both great, and the locations were wonderful.
Overall we had a fantastic trip. I would be sure to recommend
your Services. If you ever need a recommendation please
be sure to let me know.
Thanks for everything.

Dear

Now that we have just returned home, I just wanted to
thank you for the bottle of wine that you left for us
at explora; it was quite thoughtful of you and much appreciated.
The entire trip went extremely well and everything flowed
smoothly. It was a wonderful vacation and experience and
we thank you for helping us make it happen.
With warmest regards,Richard Rubin

| Maria!
we had a WONDERFUL time on the Mare Australis and in Beunos
Aires. I want to thank you for all you have done on our
behalf. The cruise exceded my expectations and I couldn't
get over how nice every one was to us! Also in BA, i wasn't
used to that great "customer service"...I really
do
appreciate what you have done. If you are ever in San
Francisco, I would like to buy you dinner.
Thanks again, Bonnie Fraenza.

Hi
Ceci,
I am writing to you to thank you for arranging a wonderful
stay in Santiago for my wife and I and for the Ross's.
Everything was handled smoothly and without a problem.
The Ritz-Carlton was superb and the tour
guide we had was the best that I ever had. The guides
name is Jorge Carpio and I have only nice things to say
about him. He made our stay in Santiago a very memorable
one. If you ever need a recommendation, feel free to use
my name. I thank you again and hope that we do business
again in the near future.
Take care. Sincerely, Eugene Spiro

Dear
Maria and Ceci,
Many thanks for all your hard work and for helping me
put together Michel's Chile trip and Mr. Coffey's pre-tour
to Peru,Everyone had a wonderful time and said they really
love the trip and Chile. All the hotels where great, the
food fabulous the people very friendly.
Ceci, you know how worried Mr Coffey was about getting
his vouchers and tickets.... and would some one really
be there to pick him up at the airport ect....
well, he can't say enough good things about his trip and
how well it was planned out. How nice everyone was, how
great the tours where, how informative the tour guides
where....he told me to highly recommend yo company to
anyone who wants to travel to Peru or Chile.
Again, many thanks for all the hours you put into helping
me.
The next time I have clients that want a tour of either
country I will definitely call you!!!
Hope you have a great Valentine's Day today.
Warmest Regards,
Kim Fuller.

Maria,
Thgis is a short note to thank you for the excellent arrangements
for our recent trip to Argentina. Everything went very
smoothly and we had a wonderful time. In the future, we
are planning to take a trip (3N) to Esteros del Ibera
(Arg.) and staying at Posada Aquape, and to the Atacama
Desert (Chile) and staying at the Explora Lodge (4N).
When you have time, you might put together an itinery
and cost estimate and send it to me. It would be better
to visit the desert last.
Thanks,
Maria and Ed Charrette |

Cruz Plaza in Santa Cruz and Los Lingues.Thanks
