We really enjoyed this virtual live experience all together. And even-though we decided to "only" watch, due to the time difference (after dinner for us), we had a great time learning more about how to properly cook Empanadas. Thanks again to Camila for making it very interesting, "tasteful"and fun and giving us the chance to discover the world of Empanadas and also sharing insights about Argentina with us.

We did a 12 day customized trip in 2018. Found this company through Zicasso, Kieran was great arranging it all and communication was easy. Our trip started in Buenos Aires where we did a cooking class at the Argentine Experience and took a tango lesson. Our dance instructors took us out to a milongo afterwards and we ended up staying out until 2am. It was great! We felt completely immersed in the culture. We then flew to Iguazu and toured the jungle, got blasted by the falls in a boat ride and saw all the incredible creatures that live there. Our last 5 days were spent hiking in Patagonia where we trekked the Perito Moreno Glacier, visited a ranch, and then drove to El Chalten for the final days. All of our transportation was provided, all internal flights booked by Kieran, and everything was just wonderful. To this day, it’s one of my favorite vacations!

My husband and I booked the Best Private and Personalized City Tour in Montevideo for cruise passengers as we had never been to that city. I was able to stay in contact with the tour operator through WhatsApp which gave me an extra layer of comfort. Our tour guide Alvaro picked us up on time right outside of the cruise terminal. His English was great and he was very knowledgeable about the city. Everywhere we went, someone knew him! He spoke about the history of his city, showed us the old town, the historical rich area, government buildings, beautiful architecture, and of course all of the main attractions. We also escaped the downtown area for a bit and explored the beautiful beaches and the area where many of the embassies are located. Overall we were very happy with this tour and because of the personalized aspect of it, we were able to venture and see areas that appealed to us more. I believe that we got to see double the amount of attractions and probably learnt more about the history and day-to-day life of Uruguay than any tour we would have booked on the ship. Alvaro dropped us off at the Meat Market where we tried some of the local BBQ before we headed back onto the ship. We arrived with plenty of time to spare and enjoyed the entire day. Thank you Andres and Alvaro for everything.

Ryan is a wonderful host! He is super knowledgeable about wine as well as the locations he took me. He's a great conversationalist and did an excellent job with providing an amazing wine tasting experience! So far, I have had two wine tasting experiences with Ryan and am hoping I can do one more before I leave Uruguay. If you like adventure and going a little off the beaten path, Ryan is your guy.

I had booked the city tour and BBQ with Hebert through another site. We were 14 passengers from the celebrity eclipse. What a wonderful day. Hebert was outside the pier to meet us. He took us on a city tour. His van was comfortable and clean. His English is good. We would stop at different sites and get out and then Hebert would give us information on what we were looking at. About 4 hours later Hebert took us to his lovely home for a BBQ. And what a BBQ it was. He led us through the house to this lovely secluded and shaded patio . They had tables set up and he explained the BBQ to us. His lovely wife and 3 beautiful daughters, who have excellent English had prepared the food. There was so much food , beef, ribs, sausage, chicken, sweet potato, onions and salad. I am not a sausage lover but I have to say the Uruguay chorizo sausage was the best and wish I could find a place to buy back home. I ate several helpings of it. The wine flowed and we had such a wonderful time. The girls were delightful to talk to and we even got one to play guitar and sing for us. This was a high light tour for us on our Antarctic cruise. Everybody left on a high , back to the ship. Thank you Hebert, we wish you and your family all the best and hope one day to visit you again.
