10-Dec-2024

One of the best travel companies to work with. I booked a trip to San Pedro de Atacama, Easter Island, and Puerto Natales with them. Marilda was extremely easy to work with and was constantly checking in with me to make sure everything was going okay. The hotels we stayed at were amazing and conveniently located. Would highly recommend this tour company for trips to Chile.

I must say I think I had the most amazing time in years. I’ve been to Argentina before, but I never enjoyed my time this much. I get anxious when traveling sometimes, but all went as planned. Kudos.

10-Apr-2025

Iguazu falls is truly amazing. Our tour was with Nieves our tour guide. She was very patient and accommodating to our needs. Very knowledgeable with the reserve and animals.👍🏻👍🏻 The transport service was excellent. They came on time to pick us up from our hotel to the airport and vice versa with Fabian 👍🏻👍🏻our driver who was very nice & helpful. Our resort in iguazu La Reserva was pretty much ok. But the rooms needed a little updating and upkeep. Cleanliness of the bathroom was a bit of an issue. But overall I would give it a satisfactory rating. The boat ride to the falls is a must do. So much fun !!!

Chanced upon Signature DMC and put in a request for a day trip to Iguazu Falls from Buenos Aires. The staff who attended to me was Victoria and she was excellent! Our private tour was very well organised, from the start to the very end, even though we had flight delay on the return leg due to weather. In addition, our guide in Iguazu, Manuel, was also great! He was informative and planned the route perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! (We’re a group of 3)

Very Reliable touristic office: they are professionals. They organised my trip very well. In addition, i would like to highlight that when everything is fixed and the trip starts, they are still “here” via WhatsApp to advise and solve any unpredictable problem that may occur. They “follow” you during the whole trip and thus, you feel safe and this is the best part of all. Many thanks to Agustin who organized my trip with professionalism and was “with me” when I needed him. Highly recommended

17-Apr-2025

I rarely leave reviews but would feel guilty not doing so: Our trips with Signature DMC were one of the top highlights of our trip to BA. Our guide Leandro was fantastic and showed us around Recoleta and the cemetery on day 1. The next day, Leandro showed us La Boca, Casa Rosada, San Telmo, and more. Leandro was extremely knowledgeable about BA's history and was super outgoing/friendly/hilarious. He also shared a number of his favorite restaurant recs, some of which we hit on the tour! Lastly, our driver Alberto was amazing– always early and super friendly. His van was extremely comfortable and spacious for our group of 5.

I had an incredible experience in Argentina. Most of it thanks to the excellent service provided by this company. Everything went as planned and the service was amazing. I would definitely recommend it. Thanks again for everything.

We traveled through Argentina for...

31-Jan-2025

We traveled through Argentina for a month in late December 2024 and January 2025. I have used tour operators/travel agents in the past for longer customized trips with just fair results. Where they usually fall apart is with support during the trip. This trip was the polar opposite. We worked closely with Carolina in the Buenos Aires office to develop this trip and where she really shined was with the support during the trip. She met us at our hotel when we arrived in Buenos Aires. She was available during the trip for questions and issues, even during her days off. She did her best to modify things when we wanted to make a change. She met us at the airport when we were departing. She obtained a refund for us for several activities we did not participate in. She was truly a customer advocate and I honestly cannot say enough about her support during the trip. I think she is very unusual in this industry and she is now my go to person for South America, where we love to travel.
