Buenos Aires to Rio 1
Michael , VIC, Australia, Sep 2018
A nine day trip including the Brazilian and Argentinian sides of Iguassu Falls which was the highlight of the tour. Neil, the tour leader, was well organised, knowledgeable and energetic, including everyone in activities. Nacho was shadowing him and will be great in the role.
