This tour was very well organised and run. The coach, the hotel accomodation and the meals were all of a very high standard. Sue, the tour leader, did a great job under sometimes very trying circumstances. Some of the more elderly members of the group could be very demanding at times, but Sue managed to keep them all (mostly) happy. The itinerary was read more very well thought out and we saw most of the really amazing sights of the South Island. Younger people (and men) may well prefer a demographic profile that suits them better.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on Azamara Quest through the Chilean Fjords and coastline. We do not routinely take cruises however seeing the Chilean coastline and some of its maritime glaciers was on our bucket list; we were not disappointed. Azamara vessels are relatively small by modern cruise standards and this enables them to spend most of their read more time in the inland channels, which provides for smooth sailing and lots of sightseeing between ports.

Service and food on Azamara were great. We especially enjoyed the complimentary White Night with plentiful seafood including lobster. Whilst their standard dining menus contained Gluten free options they were happy to specially adapt most menu items to gluten-free provided we pre-ordered.

Special thanks to Tracey our Global Journey's Advisor who came to our rescue when our flights from BA to Ushuaia were cancelled because of a general strike. Tracey managed to find us flights the next day despite them not being generally available.

We had a wonderful time exploring the picturesque country of Belize, and enjoyed seeing amazing Mayan sites, beautiful beaches and a wide variety of birds and wildlife. In our experience, a tour is only as good as the guide. Tarique was amazing with his knowledge, good humor, organization and people skills. He and our fellow travelers made this tour read more a real pleasure and an unforgettable experience! Our only suggestion would be to allow travelers to pre-book and pre-pay for excursions to reduce the need to bring or access currency for these bookings during the trip.

This was an amazing trip. Yarina Lodge is a wonderful place to go. Room facility is good and clean. A special praise to the staffs - the management, the restaurant, the kitchen, they are very attentive care.
