Travel Review: Argentina Tours - Wine, Culture, and Iguazu Falls

We are so glad we booked through Inspira. It was so nice to have someone else make all the arrangements, someone there at each airport, nothing to worry about, someone to ask questions whenever we needed. It took the stress out of traveling abroad. Stephanie is incredibly responsive and put together a dream itinerary. Our guide in Buenos Aires Monica was Fabulous. Casa Coupage was the best dining experience of the trip. Everyone should go there. Nuss Hotel is really really wonderful, and a great location, Palermo Soho is simply the best place to stay (as a young adult--I suppose older travelers may prefer less busy parts of the city) in Buenos Aires and we also very much enjoyed visiting the Massage Spa at the Park Hyatt. Very Nice. I might recommend doing that as soon as you get in from the flight actually, since it is a long one. In Iguazu, we Loved the Boutique Hotel de la Fonte. Gorgeous setting, unique, tranquil, and the chef there is out of this world, creative, and authentic. We liked one night at Iguazu, and felt it was just the right amount of time. Our guide was good and helped us when we needed help (when I injured my foot, taking us to the pharmacy and helping me get footwear to wear over the bandage.) In Mendoza, the Park Hyatt was perfect. Great location. We ate at Azafran the first night, and really everyone should go there. It was the best quality steak of the trip, and I love their wine selection. 1884 was also quite good, unique, and absolutely worth going. We enjoyed staying at the Finca Adalgisa as well. It was great staying there two nights, but I would not recommend more than two nights because there is little around it. We ate a light dinner in their winery the first night that was perfect, and then ventured to a restaurant in town, but I think two nights is enough, because there is not much to do and it is small. But for two nights, it is paradise. The horseback riding tour was perfect for us, beginning riders who like to take it very slow. The views were great, the guide was great and the group with us was eclectic and fun. The rafting trip was also perfect, fun, a good workout, amazing views, and the group with us was again eclectic and fun. The private wine tour was the best day of our trip. We are sad we did not get to do it more than once. There was so much we did not get to see, I highly recommend anyone going for the wine to do private wine tours only and full days to see more. Our sommalier on the trip was young and energetic and very knowledgable. We really appreciated that we could discuss the wine as we tasted with him.
Finally, all our transfers went smoothly.
