"Just wanted to thank you for the very magnificent tour to Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls. All the arrangements worked perfectly... All the couriers were excellent and so helpful. And it was even World Cup Party Time in Buenos Aires - what great timing. Thank you very much for all your excellent help. It was so much appreciated."
