- Jerrol· November 25th, 2024We loved our group tour with Explore. There were only 14 on the tour which is very manageable and everyone was very fun and sociable. Marcello, our guide, was a prince of a man. He was very engaged with each of us, very protective, and always made us feel welcome and that we belonged. He spoke English, Spanish and Portuguese, which made it very easy to travel with him. Our day guides, for our Buenas Aires walking city tour, was very knowledgeable as well as our guide for the Igazu Falls on both the Argentina and Brazil sides. All the places we stopped in Brazil were perfect... small town, island, and of course Rio! Personally would always prefer staying in higher end hotels, but what we had was fine. Fortunately I was able to stay 3 days before and 3 days after in hotels that were really nice and gave time to integrate other places into our adventure. I know it is challenging to have a big group eat together at a restaurant, would just want to make sure that all the options we had were good ones. I highly recommend this trip and would do it all over again!Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThank you for your detailed feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed your time with Explore and that the small group size and sociable atmosphere added to your experience. It's wonderful to hear how engaged and welcoming you guide Marcello was. It’s also... Show moreTrip date: November 2024

- AEmma· May 23rd, 2023The Iguazu Falls were completely out of this world - beyond anything I could possibly have imagined. The experience on the Argentine side was amazing - to walk across and around the Falls, breathtaking and terrifying at every turn. And then to visit from the Brazilian side (which is an absolute MUST - no idea why it's optional) was even more breathtaking. Utterly stunning to be able to see all of the Falls and gaze in awe and wonder again at the sheer vastness of it. Plus the boat trip under the Falls was not to be missed. I also really loved the oldy-worldy charm of Paraty and that part of the holiday came as a welcome break after the busy-ness of Buenos Aires and the tours of the Falls.Show moreTrip date: April 2023Review collected by Explore!
