Fred and Martin lined us up with amazing English-speaking guides who all were professional, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. In each locations we felt like we arrived as strangers and left as friends!

The tours were all awesome - a wide variety of activities with just enough 'on our own' time.

Fred and Martin are exceptional! The communications and information prior to the trips allowed us to be prepared so we could just enjoy the journey!

Fred & his team were superior! Without his help we would not have been able to get our Visas to travel to Brazil."
"The guides were experts and the personal service made this trip a dream. Everything went smoothly and our trip was worry free. Every time we needed help Fred was immediately there for us.

The booklet we received was invaluable and had everything you would need to know for the trip.

We had an amazing time in Brazil. This was our second vacation with Exploration Journeys - the first was Argentina. Fred and Martin are exceptional!

They lined us up with amazing English-speaking guides who all were professional, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. In each location we felt like we arrived as strangers and left as friends!

The tours were all awesome - a wide variety of activities with just enough 'on our own' time.

We are extremely happy with our experiences with Exploration Journeys and highly recommend them to anyone thinking about taking an epic journey to either country!
