“We wanted to share our recent holiday travelling to South America with others that may be considering the trip and thank you for the most amazing lifetime experience.
Always wannabe travelers we never had the time to plan holidays and got to an age where we never thought traveling to somewhere like South America would be on our itinerary. How wrong we were! After hearing about Lew’s experiences of 20 years in South America we were eager to join the Amigos Travel Tour 2018 but most of all have Lew as our guide. And what a tour it was and what a guide you were Lew. Actually more than a guide, a guardian angel, in a continent where we did not know neither north from south nor the language. Right from the get go you all helped us plan what we needed for the trip from travel insurance for 70+ year olds to visa and vaccinations. Every inquiry, and there were plenty, was answered in a timely manner with none of our “stupid” questions too stupid for you to answer!
Highlights of our trip – ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING! The group of 17 people from all over Australia were great. Traveling with strangers for 28 days with no disagreements was a massive achievement which was only possible because Lew kept us engaged with a range of activities for all interests. The flights with LATAM were excellent considering we are both of an age where economy seats can be challenging for 17 hours. When not trekking in the jungle we were watching Brazilian dancing, eating empanadas, riding cable cars and sleeping in accommodation that Meghan and Harry would have appreciated. The Iguassu Falls in Argentina and Brazil took our breath away. Lew had surprises for us all throughout the tour and the one for this day was rafting under The Falls – indescribable.
Adios South America – more than just a holiday, more than just an experience, more than words can describe. We could talk about this trip for forever and probably will. Massive thank you to Lew, our guide, his wife Kristy for allowing him to share his expertise with us and Bridget a wonderful young lady. “
