The trip exceeded my expectations!

We really enjoyed Cuzco – such a beautiful place! And our guide was excellent; we had a great day with her (and only one other couple from Puerto Rico).
We also loved Machu Picchu – such a unique place and we enjoyed the experience.
The trip exceeded my expectations!

Would like to say ‘thank you’ for making our trip so pleasurable

We had a fantastic trip, thank you!

We chose to travel with Say Hueque because you provided a bespoke itinerary in line with where we wanted to go, we were looking with a company with local knowledge. We saw your website and you offered what we were looking for.

2The booking process was very good. All changes were to itinerary were made / advice given speedily. The only issue was not paying by pay pal - although we did this by credit card in the end the process was more complicated.

Our favourite hotel was the Kaulem Hosteria in El Chalten - an intimate and cosy place with only 4 rooms, delicious breakfast, cakes and coffee - brilliantly located and the staff were really friendly. Out least favourite hotel was Hosteria Koi Aiken in El Calafate. This is mainly due to the location due to a 40 minute power walk to the outskirts of town and tthe rooms were a bit tired looking, although the breakfast was very good.

It's difficult to say which was our favourite excursion as they were all fantastic. The trip to Perito Merino glacier was amazing, simply because the scenery was so breathtaking and the glacier hike really interesting with informative and friendly guides. The paddle trip into the national park at Ushuaia was also great fun - again the guide spoke excellent English and made the trip enjoyable with his knowledge of the park and flora and fauna. And the excursion to the Iguazu falls was also great as the guide knew all the tricks to make sure we spent the least time queueing as possible - and again he was very informative and knowledgeable. Its really difficult to pick out a favourite memory as we loved all of the places we stayed. We hiked to the see Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre - this was also amazing. My memory will be the the diverse and stunning scenery - glaciers, mountains, waterfalls and wildlife (beagle channel cruise) the friendliness of all the people we met and the knowledge of the guides. oh and the great steak and huge portions of food!

Rene - the Iguazu falls guide - he saved us so much time queueing and was really knowledgeable about the birds and plants. But all our guides made the experience memorable.

I was a bit disappointed with the location of the Koi Aiken hosteria as we spent a lot of time walking to and from town - and I did expect that arrangements would have been made for our bags to be transferred between the Rebelde hotel. We asked and the lady at the Rebelled sorted this out for us, but an agent from Say Hueque did email to say this was our responsibility.

I would definitely recommend your company to any friends who are travelling to Argentina and would like to say ‘thank you’ for making our trip so pleasurable.

Everyone was super helpful!

Everyone was super helpful!

We chose to travel with Say Hueque because you had all of the tours we wanted and helped us customize an option that worked with our budget. The booking process was easy and helpful.

The Mercure in Iguazu was our favorite hotel... and we visited the Loi for dinner and thought it was better. Worst hotel was the Dazzler Palermo... room was small and dirty.

Our favourite excursion was Punto Tumbo penguins... soooo many of them. Would have been better if somehow you could take a boat down from Valdez peninsula, but I know that isn’t an option. Regarding the guides, everyone was super helpful!

We had to change our flight from Puerto Madryn last minute. I thought Lucia and I had talked about leaving earlier and she said the tour wouldn’t be over in time.. though she was right about the end time of the tour, we didn’t need to see the paleontology museum so we skipped that. Similarly, we wasted 5 hours in the Foz de Iguazu airport waiting to fly to Rio (a flight we had booked) but we would have preferred a tour that used up more of our day if the flight time was known.

We hope to be back in Argentina in the future and will definitely book throughout Say Hueque

We wanted the help of a reputable agency to plan our trip. It was a rather large trip and since we were unfamiliar with the country, needed help coordinating everything. We also were overwhelmed with all of the possible places to go and Say Hueque made it easy with their trips. Working with Daiana was fantastic. She even took care of booking flights which was SO important for us.

Favorite hotel was Dazzler Polo and least favorite was Aeroparque Inn and Suites. The best excursions were in Ushuaia, followed by Iguazú. I really loved the hiking and paddling trip especially.

The team from Antartur were amazing and René from Ecoturismo Iguazú was phenomenal. He used all of his connections to get us around which were key because the amount of tourists in Iguazú was substantial.

The El Calafate trip could have been improved. We were scheduled to have a day of excursions, a day off, and a half day there before flying back. Because of the Christmas holiday, however, it meant that we couldn’t book the excursion we wanted for the free day (Estancia Cristina) but we did a glacier boat ride. And the following day we were in El Calafate until almost 5PM. In the future, it will help for the team to ensure travelers have something to do during the Christmas holiday and to have that booked far in advance (and an earlier flight out would’ve been great). It affected scheduling for Iguazú and we were on a flight every day for three days which wasn’t so fun!

We hope to be back in Argentina in the future and will definitely book throughout Say Hueque :).

We chose to travel with Say Hueque due to a recommendation by a friend, and initial discussion with the company was positive.
The booking process was smooth.

The hotel in Puerto Iguazu was our favorite but all hotels were really nice.

Our favourite excursion was probably the mini trekking and the penguins were the favorites. So unique. The guide in Ushuaia was great.

Your supplier in Puerto Iguazu was not in par with the others - we had two guides (one for each day) and they were not as professional as the others. In addition of not showing up to pick us up from the airport.

It was a fabulous trip! We might even write a little blog for those traveling and not camping. We have friends with Patagonia on their list and we will definitely highly recommend you.

Overall I very much enjoyed my trip!

The "Best of Patagonia" trip included all of the major sites within Patagonia that I wanted to see. Also, the price was much lower than similar tour packages from other companies, even after adding on the solo traveler supplement fee. Also, my travel advisor Agustin was very responsive and followed up with me multiple times during the booking process. Agustin was very responsive, and answered all of my questions in less than 24 hours after I sent them.

There was only one hotel that I did not like very much, and that was the Chalet Chapital in Punta Arenas. The room was missing a lot of small conveniences, such as a glass for water, a drain plug for the bathtub, and a hair dryer. I could have tried to ask the staff for these things, and they may have been able to provide them, but they did not speak any English and I was only there for one night, so I didn't bother to ask. Also, the WiFi quality was very poor, and I could not do even simple things like load any web pages or send any text messages.

The Cyan Calafate was good but only complaint was that it was extremely hot in the hotel the entire time! I am not sure if it was something they could control, since the heater in my room was off, but even leaving my window open all night did not help and it was a bit difficult to sleep. They had the best breakfast selection though! Hosteria Foike was great, hotel and room were very cozy and staff very friendly and helpful. Hosteria El Paraiso in Chalten was also very nice, room was very simple but had everything I needed and beautiful views. The Hotel Patagonia IF in Puerto Natales was probably my favorite, beautiful views and a very cool, unique modern design to the place, which I really enjoyed. Very comfortable bed too!

It is hard to choose a favorite excursion, they were all very good! The one in Ushuaia was lots of fun, and our guides were the best on that trip too. They seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing and answered lots of questions, prepared a very nice lunch for us, and just seemed to have all of our activities very well-organized.

The two guides mentioned above in Ushuaia for Tierra del Fuego were very good, the main guide was Pedro and I didn't catch the name of the driver/other guide, but he was very friendly as well. Pedro was very knowledgable about the nature of the area and enthusiastically pointed out lots of things on the trail to tell us about. I appreciated this because it added a lot of value to the hike as we stopped at certain points while he told us about different plants, animals, etc. The guide for Torres del Paine was also good (I believe his name was Ian?), he was energetic and funny.

I was surprised that there were no organized events available in Punta Arenas. I inquired about doing a half-day (4-hour) city walking tour (optional tour for extra cost) while I was there, but was told that there wouldn't be enough time in my schedule for that. However, I arrived at the hotel pretty early that first day, around 12:30-1:00pm, and had the rest of the afternoon free, so I think that would have been enough time.

Overall I very much enjoyed my trip!

Patricio could not have put together a better trip plan for us!

I had the absolute pleasure of sharing our recent Patagonia trip that you helped him plan. Patricio could not have put together a better trip plan for us!! The trip was amazing from the moment we arrived in Buenos Aires to the sad departure we made 3 weeks later. I loved every part of the trip and each day I couldn’t believe that it could get better. And then it did!! Thank you for all the work you put into scheduling all our activities and for all the many questions you answered for us in our planning. I want to come back and explore more of your amazing and absolutely beautiful country!!

Thank you again so much.
