“We weren’t really sure what to expect however we were so impressed with our holiday to South America and we are not travellers that typically book tours , preferring to find our own way around, however the Chimu tours we did were perfect. We certainly would book via Chimu again.”

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought worked really well. The train trip to Machu Pichu was great. All of Antarctica was the best. The guides were wonderful.
Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought needs improving The group tour in the Hidden Valley was the worst ever. Bus was over crowed and aircon did not work, could not hear the guide. Individual guides were great.

“Difficult to do as all places different. Thought Machu Pichu was super good and the train ride to get there brilliant. Lima was ordinary as was Cusco. Did enjoy Ushiaua. The altitude was a little difficult but certainly manageable with the help of wonderful guides.”

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought worked really well. Organisation of pickups and drop offs to and from the various airports. Communication with the guides through WhatsApp was also very good.
Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought needs improving Due to time restraints, at Iguazu Falls, we were rushed and didn't enjoy the Brazilian side. This was because of an unscheduled helicopter flight. This could have been avoided by splitting the group into two groups, those that were flying out from the Argentine side v the Brazil side. Also, one less day in the Amazon basin would have worked better. A direct flight to Quito (even if it was via Lima), would have been more convenient.

“We booked a recent trip to South America and Antarctica with Flight Centre. They suggested Chimu as a tour operator. Who suggested Polar Expeditions. All involved put together a great itinerary that included stopovers/activities in Buenos Aires, Ushuaia and Iguazu. FC allowed sufficient travel times and layovers. The tours and locations were great and interesting. Polar Expeditions and the Ocean Albatross crew over delivered on their promises at every juncture. We were blessed with good weather so every excursion off the boat happened. The on board scientists/expedition team added value to the trip. I recommend booking an excursion not a cruise. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city and the few days we spent there and excursions were good. In Ushuaia we visited Tierra del Fuego National Park, it’s well worthwhile. In Iguazu the excursions are incredible and a must do. We learnt to trust our itinerary, it flowed well and was fit for purpose. From Aus, South America and Antarctica is not a chap trip, but it is so worth it.”
