Hi Sergio
We felt very welcomed and very well taken care of by all the staff people at BA Internationala as well as all the tour companies that we dealt with.
Marta was just wonderful and Romina was an excellent tour guide.
We felt everything was extremely well organized and we were always picked up on time if not early and everyone was great.
We were happy that marta recommended the shopping tour.We liked it and thought it was well worth it.
AS you know we were not too happy with the Howard Johnson.It is definitely NOT a 4-star hotel.
As a tourist and having spoken to some friends who were in BsAs in the last year I think it would be much nicer to stay in Palermo or Recoletta.
I know they are more expensive and it would have been very costly for all of us but I think the overall experience would have been much more enjoyable there.Downtown is quite busy and loud.
We were happy with all the hotels in Patagonia and we especially liked thre Senderos in El Cheltan.The food was excellent there for dinner.
The perito Moreno Glacier was great.I think 2 nights in El Calafate would have been enough.
The tour that we did in lieu of Torres Del Peines was really not good.
We went to a mountain near Calafate to do “Trekking”.It was a walk through a cow pasture.Not a hike of any kind!!
Overall we had a great trip.
We learned a few words of Spanish and saw some beautiful sights.
Thank you for everything
Carolyn
