We were impressed with the efficiency and warmth of the team in both Chile and Argentina. It was a blessing to have the Chile-Argentina border crossing handled by cazenove+loyd: we made it across much faster than other travellers. All the places we stayed were great, and the guides, too.

Quote

We had a month-long trip in Chile and Argentina. We wanted to do some things together and some separately due to different interests and physical capabilities. Karen and her colleagues listened carefully and planned a holiday, which fully met a tricky brief. All of the accommodation was wonderful and we had amazing guides. The detail which went into the planning and delivery was outstanding. Every pick-up, every transfer, the timing of the internal flights, the range and diversity of the trip – everything was excellent. We will definitely travel with cazenove+loyd again.
