On their tour of South America:
“We got back last week from our wonderful trip to Buenos Aires, the Amazon River on the Aqua Amazon and our Finch Bay week in the Galapagos and wish to thank you for making all the arrangements for us. Everything went very well and it was nice to be greeted by such knowledgeable people in each of our destinations. Not only did they provide the transportation that we needed and appreciated, but they were able to give us useful information on the places we were visiting. We would not hesitate to use Gateway International for future travel plans.
Again many thanks.“
