Rio de Janeiro done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. No hesitation recommending them.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Rio de Janeiro done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Recommended.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Solid operator.
