    This trip was definitely an experience I wasn't totally prepared for. The accommodation was suitable. Some better than others. El pueblito in Iguazu, Argentina was a highlight. Most day tours I was the only English speaking person. I recommend learning more Spanish to learn and understand more. Most places, as well as taxis and Ubers only accept cash. But ATM's can be hard to find. Do not trust taxi drivers. Especially in Argentina and Chile. I was pleasantly surprised how safe I felt in Rio. Not so much in Chile. Overall, I enjoyed my trip. But will do more homework about each country prior to visiting. I've met some amazing people from all over the world and had some unforgettable times. Just be prepared and ask lots of questions before committing to this tour

    Great tour, well organised with options to personalise the accommodation and activities. Bus trips were more comfortable than I had feared, although the 28 hours Rio to Iguassu was a little much even for me. Planned activities were good - particularly the cycling tour in Buenos Aires.

    An excellent tour, especially if you don't fancy being part of a set tour group the whole time, which I didn't which especially cuts down the price. Options to upgrade buses to flights are simple and easy. This tour gives you plenty of free days to shape the tour as you want and the tour group are available on WhatsApp should you have any concerns. They were especially helpful when it came to arranging COVID tests before travel between countries. Hostels are decent and not just the cheapest available with most in the Lonely Planet South America book as recommended hostels. A couple of tours were Spanish but all guides spoke English personally to me and were very accomodating. Highlights included the Big Dude Tour of Rio, Iguazu Falls and White Water Rafting in Santiago. Would recommend

    We had an excellent experience with Hi Argentina! Cristian, Belen and team were always available and so flexible with all our queries. The trip itself was excellent and the team were in constant communication before and during our trip. We were able to tailor the trip to our own tastes (ie replacing long bus journeys with quicker plane trips), it was like our very own personalised tour. Thank you Cristian, Belen and team - we had a wonderful time! We definitely recommend this tour with Hi Argentina, you won't be disappointed!

    This was an excellent A to B self guided tour that had a few well placed day tours included such as the Iguazu Falls Brazil and Argentina side, horse riding, tango show and city tours. Excellent value for money and perfect for people who do not want to be stuck in a 'tour group' for long period of time. The Tour radar online staff led by Cristian were absolutely amazing and always there in the other end with support and assistance when required. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is thinking about doing it. A trip of a lifetime!!

    I found Hi tours & particularly Cristian to be there at the end of the telephone every step of the way. The tour was phenomenal value & superbly thought out. As a 72 year old travelling alone & not wishing to be in the standard group tour this was perfect. The company kept in touch regularly to make sure the itinerary was living up to my expectations. It certainly was. I unhesitatingly recommend them.
