"We started working with this travel company with LESS than 4 weeks to go to help us plan our trip to Brazil and Argentina."

They patiently worked with us during the Brazilian visa application process, changes to departure and return dates, and itinerary changes. 

Never once did they say “sorry, we can’t help you with that”.  Whether it was making us dinner reservations, recommending tours, or coordinating all the ‘behind the scenes” activities they were always very accommodating. 

Their South American partners that were assigned to us were terrific – airport transfers, tours, guides were all top notched.  I would recommend them to others and would use them again in a minute!
