Argentina, Chile Tour Review: Perito Moreno, Los Glaciares, Atacama, Torres del Paine, Buenos Aires, Hiking, Cooking Class, 25 Days

My trip was an incredible adventure, which I feel fortunate to have experienced. The excursions were well chosen and hotels outstanding.

I had a support network that allowed me to totally enjoy the beautiful and diverse environments, cultures, and activities.

Argentina Tour Review: Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Bariloche, El Calafate, El Chalten, 2 Weeks

We take great pleasure in saying our Patagonian adventure through Zicasso and the tour operator was near perfect. Our sincere thanks to our travel specialist and everyone at the tour operator for the red-carpet treatment we received at every destination on our itinerary: namely Buenos Aires, Iguazú, Bariloche, El Calafate, and El Chalten. We commend everyone involved in the personalized communication, planning and execution of our two exciting weeks traveling throughout Argentina.

Beginning in December 2025, the travel specialist and his team worked out every detail of travel in Argentina's fall season: all our domestic flights, customized tours, airport transfers, and, most importantly, the most knowledgeable, engaging guides we could ever have imagined. We can't make enough positive comments about our first Patagonian adventure.

Every driver arrived promptly, putting us immediately at ease. Every evening, team members messaged us on WhatsApp to remind us of the next day's transfers and tours. They followed up immediately with answers to any questions we had.

All of our guides were exceptional. Their passion and depth of knowledge made our tours more fascinating and entertaining than any we've ever experienced. We could not have planned anything remotely close to the guides the tour operator included for each tour.

We will most assuredly utilize the services of the travel specialist at the best tour company we have ever found for adventures in South America.

Argentina, Chile, Uruguay Trip Review: Iguazu, Buenos Aires, El Chalten, Calafate, Puerto Natales, Santiago, Colonia de Sacramento, Valparaiso, Vina del Mar, Torres del Paine, Iguazu Falls, Boat Ride, Trekking, 3 Weeks

Our trip was fabulous. Based on my general input of where we wanted to go and our time frames, Zicasso’s travel specialist crafted an itinerary that we thoroughly enjoyed.

The boutique hotels he arranged for us in Iguazú, Buenos Aires, El Chalten, Calafate, Puerto Natales, and Santiago were very nice and in walkable areas, with many nearby restaurants and stores.

The transfers to and from airports to hotels made us feel like VIPs, especially the first-class van ride from Calafate to Puerto Natales. Guides all had good command of English and were very knowledgeable and helpful, particularly in helping us get through immigration as we travelled between countries. A special shout-out to our guide in Buenos Aires and our guide in Santiago for going above and beyond.

Before, during, and after our three weeks in South America, our travel specialist stayed in touch via WhatsApp. He even met with us twice in person during the time we were in Buenos Aires. I highly recommend the tour company.

Our trip to Argentina, which was expertly planned by Zicasso’s travel specialist, was outstanding. The attention to every detail was masterful. The itinerary was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. All of the planned activities were awesome and all the guides and drivers were first-class.

The travel specialist’s colleague was brilliant. She was in continuous contact with us every day of our 16-day trip, making sure everything was in order, sending us our boarding passes for our flights in advance, alerting us to any changes, and attending to our every need, while answering all our questions. I don’t have enough superlative adjectives to describe how amazing this trip was for us. I would highly recommend the travel company without reservation.

Our drivers and guides (especially our guide in Patagonia) were great. I loved our accommodations. The Zicasso staff were very attentive and easily accessible.
