Marc-André and Gisèle ThéorêtArgentina CAT TRAVEL is a Fantastic Tour Organizer!
My wife and I decided last March to spend three weeks in Argentina. We had our return airline tickets, but no itinerary scheduled once in BA. I found CAT Travel advertising on the South American Explorers Society Web Page and got in touch. We had never planned a trip this way and we have been around (check WorldTraveler2540 on Trip Advisor...). The CAT staff was prompt to reply to our inquiry. Pablo asked us what places we wanted to see (BA, Iguazu, Bariloche, Calafate and Ushuaia) and if we were anticipating any activities. We asked him to plan a private tour, with personal driver and French speaking guide (not easy to find in Argentina); we asked him to add some adventure in it. After a few emails, we decided to go with CAT; Pablo was so efficient and available that we decided to trust them. This was the first time we were booking such a long trip on the net so we were a bit anxious but decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. As soon as we landed in BA, we were taken care of by Gilda, their French speaking guide. We were then to visit Buenos Aires and its surroundings, an Estancia, an evening in a tango hall etc. We went boating at Iguazu falls, trekking and kayaking in Bariloche, fly fishing in Calafate, etc. In few words, we had a WONDERFUL TRIP and would not hesitate to recommend Pablo and CAT Travel for anybody wishing to travel to South America. Thanks again!

Jackie Urbani and Rafael Antonio DanoBrazil Dear Adam and CAT Team,
I wanted to say thank you so much for all your efforts in assisting me with planning my Brazilian Honeymoon. Adam, you were great with getting me all the info I needed! We took the Salvador, Lencois, and Praia do Forte trip and we had the most AMAZING time! The trip was so well organized; someone was always there from the tour company to pick us on time to take us to the tour we were taking or to the next city. It was my first time to Brazil (my husband is Brazilian) and I can't wait to go back! I am ready to start planning the next trip with CAT. All three cities were great in their own way, but I have to say Lencois was so much fun. The trails we hiked (never hiked a day in my life) and the caves we swam in and walked through were the most incredible sites we have ever seen. In 9 days we took over 700 photos! The best honeymoon ever!!! Thank you so much CAT! I can't wait to plan with you again!

Bob FlynnPeru Hello Marc,
I would like to thank you for arranging an excellent 3 week holiday for Sharon, Al, Debbie and myself in Southern Peru. After much e-mailing back and forth, with changes in dates and itineraries due to our schedules and requirements, the vacation was all that we could have hoped for and more. The guides were all very professional and seemed to be genuinely keen to share their knowledge and love of their history and culture. The accommodation was first class, and the recommended restaurants very good and a bargain by our standards! All of the transfers, flights and side tours went without a hitch, the weather was very kind to us, and I came home with 663 photographs! Thanks again for a great holiday, and I would recommend your services without hesitation.

Thijs HeslenfeldArgentina Dear CAT,
Just back in Holland after the BEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL TRIP I EVER DID! Argentina and Buenos Aires made such a BIG impression on me, I loved the country and the people and felt myself opening up to the whole world....and with that great feeling I boarded the Bark Europa and sailed for three weeks to Antarctica, the coldest place on earth but I never experienced more warmth and love then I did there.......
That's why I'd like to thank all of you at Class Adventure Travel for your help, time and warmth while I was in BA. Your support helped me in feeling at home in Argentina straight away and I'm sure it was this great start that catalyzed the rest of the trip and made it something so unforgettable....... Wish all of you lots of luck and happiness and as far as I'm concerned I wanna be back ASAP......have travelled all over the world but never ever found a place like Argentina with so much positive energy, love and kindness.
Big hug from cold Holland,
Thijs Heslenfeld,

Jim and Julie LewisChile / Argentina Dear Veronica,
Just a quick note to thank you for the personal contact and service that we received from Class Adventure Travel during our travels in South America. Finding a friendly face and someone so helpful in getting our personalized itinerary organised for our time in Argentina and Chile was fantastic. We basically had no problems and the choice of hotels and tours was even better than what we had anticipated. Our visit to the Patagonian region was just sensational, how can one ever forget the sight of Perito Moreno Glacier, the hikes that we did while in El Chalten, the views of Cerro Torres and Cerro Fitz Roy peaks breaking out of the clouds as well as the beautiful autumn colours that surrounded us. Your help in rescheduling our itinerary after my short illness in Punta Arenas was greatly appreciated and the last weeks of our trip went really well. We feel that we needed to let you know that we were extremely happy with all your support and help and would have no hesitation in recommending you and Class Adventure Travel to other people. Hopefully we will have some friends heading your way in 2006. We are now waiting for you to visit us so that we can return some hospitality.
Cheers and all the best,
Jim and Julie Lewis

Lois DixonPeru Dear Clara,
We just got home from our trip a few days ago.
We had a great trip and want to thank you for all the work you did putting it together for us. Your attention to detail paid off as everything went very smoothly. Our guides were all very good – very knowledgeable and friendly (Freddie in Arequipa was exceptional - excellent), our transfers were all right on time (even waiting for us at 2:30am when we arrived in Cusco two hours late due to bus problems) and thanks to your excellent web site our hotels all met or exceeded our expectations. We also enjoyed the upgrade to the Libertador Hotel in Cusco. We really appreciated the way CAT got us on to a bus and out of Puno ahead of the strike. We talked to other travelers who had not been able to do that and had lost one or two days of their trip because there was no transportation. We felt everyone went out of their way to make sure we had a great trip and we will certainly recommend CAT and you in particular, to any of our friends planning a trip to Peru.

Manfred FrankArgentina / Bolivia Hello friends at CAT,
As I promised I will give to you my feedback from our trip to South America, here it is…
We felt all the time very well treated by your organization and would like to say thanks for your support during our stay in your country (thanks Daniela!). Although we are not able to speak the Spanish language (my son speaks a little bit) you supported us to make it easier to talk to the right and responsible persons. Also many thanks for the phone calls checking up on us; they gave us the feeling that we as your customer were in the right hands.
