    Went on this trip over Christmas/New Year and cannot praise it highly enough - we were constantly pleased and surprised by the quality and quantity of the included events, sensational tango show at the hotel Faena in Santiago, glorious vineyard lunch in Maipo valley, super luxurious New Year's dinner at Llao Llao, and the wonderful boat/bus/boat/bus/boat crossing of the Andes. The only downside was we had a tour director with an unfortunate manner which upset several guests, who couldn't count bus seats and seemed interested only in the shopping opportunities rather than the history and culture of the destinations. Fortunately the local guides were mostly first rate with excellent English. The Christmas 'group' was very sociable, perhaps because it wasn't composed entirely of elderly couples, there were some fun 3- and 5- person families aboard and some outoing singles.

    actually those are hotel and city names and the word 'tango', not employees! Doh!

    This is hilarious. t-a-n-g-o, it's an Argentinian dance show, not an employee. Stupid software!

    Hi Johnny!

    Sorry about that; we put software in place to edit out swearwords and, as you saw, some employee names, but it can sometimes be a little overzealous. You should be able to type the words "tango" and "Santiago" now.

    Best,
    Tim
