What our clients are saying about their journeys through South America
What an amazing trip! Too many highlights to single one out. All of the tour guides were not just very lovely people, but also exceptionally good at their jobs. One glitch was a 24 hour travelling day; up at 4am and to bed at 4am the next day - Arequipa to Lima to Brazil (3 flights). And a recommendataion or two - we extended our stay in Buenos Aires read more to spend some time in the Palermo districts of Soho and Hollywood, then took the ferry to Uruguay - the town of Colonia del Sacramento (Unesco World Heritage site) is stunning and worth a couple of nights stay.

We absolutely loved our South American trip with Bunnik. We travelled with them before and will again. Travelling with small groups enables everyone to get to know their fellow travellers and to make new friends.
Prior to travelling we were a little concerned about how we would cope with the altitude, the amount of steps at Machu Picchu, and the read more heat in the Amazon, as we have some leg and knee issues. We are in our mid 60s and had no trouble managing as did most of our group, many who were older.
The tour director and the local guides had a wealth of knowledge, were very friendly and cheerful, and always willing to assist with any issues. All of the hotels were of a very high standard. We have booked with Global Journeys multiple times and will be using them again for our next trip. They are helpful, friendly and very efficient.

Fantastic Trip
Best of South America with Amazon Cruise
Karen and Bradley , NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
Global Journeys were great to deal with and I saved money booking my trip through them. The APT tour of South America and Amazon cruise was fantastic. We saw some amazing sights like Machu Picchu, a pod of pink dolphins chasing fish in the Amazon river and the jaw dropping Iguazu Falls. The hotels we stayed at were 5 stars and were located in terrific read more areas. The restaurant meals included were magnificent. It truly was a trip of a lifetime.
Highlights of South America with 4 Day Extension to the Amazon
Highlights of South America
Peter and Christine, WA, Australia, Apr 2026
We had perfect weather with a fabulous group of people. Our tour guide, Felipe, was outstanding and the quality of accommodation was very good. The high lights were, Iguazu Falls, The Tango Evening in Buenos Aires (superb), Lake Titicaca, Machu Picchu, and Copacabana Beach. There were a lot of flights and it was quite tiring as we were on the go the read more whole time. A very busy schedule but necessary to see all that we did. Georgie did a great job with all our pre trip planning. Many thanks!
Wonderful Trip to Patagonia
Adventures in Patagonia with Iguazu Extension
Pauline and Michael, NSW, Australia, Mar 2026
The trip matched the itinerary and we saw and were given experiences exactly as outlined. Each of the local guides gave great value and our overall tour guide Luciano was the best guide we have ever travelled with. He dealt with all issues and made sure everything ran as faultlessly as possible. The spectacular scenery, the trip across the Patagonian read more steppe and then through the mountains were all truly wonderful. We would definitely recommend travelling with your company to Patagonia, and we believe that doing this trip was very good value for our money.
As we were warned in the Itinerary, the schedule often involved changes to the itinerary, some requiring very early starts resulting from changes to flight schedules. Several times we would arrive somewhere very late (eg. 10.30pm) and be required to be up very early to be collected - such as at 3.00, 4.00 or 5.00am.
This particularly occurred during the 3 day Iguazu Extension. For example we arrived late into Buenos Aires the night before and had a very early start the next morning to get the plane to Iguazu. We arrived there at 9am but there were no activities planned for the rest of the day and then we couldn’t check in to our excellent hotel room for about 4 hours.
By the end of our trip after several nights of late arrivals followed by very early departures we were pretty exhausted.

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. The guide is very professional, he customize programs according to your fitness level and requirement. This is a place for relaxation and also adventure.
