I’ve always wanted to visit Buenos Aires because I found it a very attractive
city, but visiting it has exceeded all my expectations. Buenos Ares’ cultural life
is fascinating, the amount of bookshops I found allowed me to get rare books and almost
imposible to find on teaching and pedagogy. There are also a great quantity of bars and restaurant
Brazilian style that made my stay there honestly insuperable. I especially recommend the hot-air
balloon trip and the theatre shows I had the chance to see, which are identical or even better than
the ones we’ve seen in the mythical “canecao” carioca.

Hi Armando!
first of all, thanks for organizing everthing so perfectly. Markus and I did enjoy our short holidays very very much. For myself it was the first vacation since a long time and I feel really relaxed now.
The hotel was perfect and we did like the tours guided by Eduardo. He took care that much about us and he was perfect with his lot of knowledge.
I phoned with my boyfriend right before (I am already back from home for work) and we both agree that everthing was a highlight and we will come again this year. We just have to plan with work when. If in September, then we will see the northern parts of your country. If in your summer (next november/dcember) then for a longer time with a trip to the north and the south.
Once again thanks for your perfect job, what did make our stay unforgettable. You can send me offers for a longer stay but do not hurry, fist we must plan our vacation time.
Greetings,
--Christian and Markus
Dear Armando,
Thank you for meeting us in Buenos Aires. We made it back to Anchorage without problems.
We had a great time in Mendoza. We were nicely surprised that we had a private tour with a driver and a guide. The selection of wineries and restaurants were outstanding. We liked staying at the lodge but thought we may have seen and enjoyed Mendoza if we had stayed near the town square. Also, if we were staying in the city, we could possibly get a snack before dinner since Argentine dinner tradition is much later than what we are used to.
We equally enjoyed Buenos Aires. We liked the hotel although it was definitely very different and modern. We were not able to get a late check out because the hotel was completely booked. We vacated our room by noon.
We had a very good time and had already recommended Mendoza and Buenos Aires as destinations for several of our friends. Thank you so much for arranging a wonderful trip.
--Brian and Tim
Hello Armando
Herewith my comments that may be of help to others following my path:
Hostel Morada is great for people more under 30. It has a great atmosphere but the people are up
until 4 in the morning and unless you plan to sleep until 10, it is hard to actually get much
quiet sleep. The people were wonderful and helpful, but for oldsters like myself it may not be
the most appropriate place.
Nativo travel can also do a two day trip that may be a better introductio to the region around
Cordoba. It would follow the cirdcuit of the stancias, go through Cerro Colorado, but also
include Gigantes, and the falda. This would be a way to see more diversity of the countryside and
have amore variety. However, they don´t offer the tour regularly so it would take a group that
was interested should that be available. The guide, Xavier, was very knowledgeable, but
particularly about the aboriginal culture because he is an anthropologist so this is his field and
he gave great insight on this tour.
Che Pampa was more reserved and both Juliana (with whom you spoke) and Federico were amazingly
helpful and engaging. They went out of their way to be helpful and make certain I was able to
achieve all that I wanted. Of course, it is a hostel so if people have problems sharing, it will
not be appropriate. I also doubt that there are beds that allow two people to sleep side by side.
They are bunkbeds instead. I would definately stay there again both for its proximity to the
city center and because of the staff.
The Rosario City tour was amazingly wonderful. The person who gave it was clear and engaged with
me on many different levels. Thank you for that.
Aguas Blanca was superb. It is not for everyone. No loud music blaring in the night, no all
night drinking parties, only peace and quiet. Rafael (the owner) is amazingly handsome, engaging,
and willing to share his knowledge of the island and his business. Toto who is an islero taught
me much about the traditional way of living and the cusine. There was also a guarani... I am not
certain if he is there full time or only to help in the building of the space, but it was
interesting to speak with him about aboriginal cosmology in contradistinction to that of the West.
The evening horseback riding was amazing and Rafael can arrange for early morning trips if someone
wants to see the arrival of the sun. In truth, the sunrise is magnificent and is worth staying
overnight though there is no air conditioning which is not much of a problem since the islands are
cooler. The bathroom was beautiful with jacuzzi and shower, and all the conveniences that could be
wanted. It is a unique experience should a person be interested in this sort of experience.
The buses worked out well and were always on time and went where they were supposed to go.
For gay travelers, one idea is to print out www.cordobag.com and www.rosariog.com (I don´t know
whether they are .ar as well or not) as an added service should anyone want to know ¨the places¨.
In fact, I had no time or energy to sleuth around for that, but expect people would be interested
to at least have that at their disposal. Also, during my time in Cordoba the festival of Jesus
Maria was happening. This is a very argentinian kind of thing. If someone wanted to see eomthing
like this, it might make sense to suggest it. It is a bit overwhelming as the city grows from
20,000 to 80,000 with people camped out on the streets, and the stadium filled with everyone, but
it is a wonderful experience should one be adventerous enough to explore a little off the path.
If anything further comes to me, I will certainly transfer the information to you. I hope this is
of some help, and, again, thank you for all your support and help in getting this to work
smoothly.

Hi Armando,
The trip to Salta was excellent. I really enjoyed both excursions, though the Train to the Clouds was delayed for a few hours so we didn't get back until 2.30am! The hotel was conveniently located and the staff were really friendly, and all the transfers arrived when they were supposed to. So all in all it went perfectly, so thanks for all your help arranging everything.
Best wishes,
--Jon
I live in Recife and I liked the idea of visiting your city as well as the South lake region.
It was an unforgettable experience to do it through Buenos Aires gay travel this summer. We found
delicious places in the lonely south, that allowed us to have a second honey-noon with my partner
after so many years together, another thing I recommend with enthusiasm. We couls visit the MALBA
museum, that gave us an amazing glimse at Latinamerican art. I hope to go back this summer to visit
it again, and I will even take advantage to take some live models drawing course at the Circulo de
Bellas Artes. I will never forget the nights at Amerika, where the festive environment reminded us
of the best nights at Rio’s discos.

I am a baseball player and I’ve always wanted to take my holidays
in South America, as I like swarthy young gay guys as well as beer. My
friend Michel, who had travelled with you to Buenos Aires, recommended
your travel agency. I was in Buenos Aires for 7 days. I really liked it. I learnt to
dance tango and I stayed 10 more days visiting diferent gay spots. Nowadays I’m preparing
my second trip to visit a friend who lives there. I will travel through Buenos Aires Gay Travel,
of course.
--Etienne Berry
Hi pals! Mi name is Robert Morgan, I live in California, and I travel on business to
Buenos Aires. When I first travelled with Buenos Aires Gay Travel, I really liked your
treatment. On my fifth visit to your country, on holidays, I met Nicolás in Ushuaia, a young
Argentinian who is nowadays my partner, and who I will spend my honey-moon in El Calafate with,
because we like spending our holidays in skiing places with snow.
--Robert Morgan
I heard about Buenos Aires Gay travel through an Argentinian
friend that lives in Madrid. When I arrived in Buenos Aires, I was impressed by the
gay life, the tango and the trips to Mendoza and Salta allowed me to meet my Argentinian
uncles, which made my holidays the unforgettable. I swear, as my name is Sancho, that I will
be back this summer, yes sir!
--Sancho Ximenez Rebollar
Hi Armando,
Thanks for the note. I had a very nice first trip to Buenos Aires and plan to return. Thanks for your assistance in making the arrangements for tours in Buenos Aires and Montevideo.
Here are my comments:
The pickup at the EZE airport was great. Excellent car and driver.
The Hotel Balmoral is very worn for a 4 star but the price was right. I wouldn't stay there again. The location at the Plaza Cagancha is central. The staff is only ok, not bad and not all that good. I'll probably go to Punta del Este and Colonia on the next trip. The tour of Montevideo was very good.
Again, thanks for your services and delivery of the documents.
Sincerely,
--Kenneth LeBlanc
Hi Armando;
I came back from my 23 days South America trip for the first time last week. In this trip i visited Rio,
Brazil...Montevideo, Uruguay...Buenos Aires, Argentine...and Santiago, Chile.... it was a fantastic trip and i enjoyed a lot.
My trip to Montevideo, Buenos Aires, and Igazu, as you know, was arranged by you and your Agency. The Montevideo,
Punta del Este, and Iguazu falls was excellent arrangement. Everything was on time, the people who pick me up, and
the city tours were all very good, friendly, and professional.....The Buenos Aires which i had more expectations was
not as good as other places. You were nice to come and greeting me at the Port. The city Tour in Buenos Aires was not
as good as other places. The Tango-Dinner show by itself was excellent, and the place was very elegant..
Anyway, the whole trip was EXCELLENT, and the HIGHLITE of that was Iguazo falls and the Rio, Carnaval. Both
were MAGIC and Spectacular.
Thank you Armando for your job, and i hope to come back again to your Beautiful Buenos Aires again.
--Hassan
Hi Armando,
Everything worked out fantastic!!
I had a wonderful visit to Rio and the tours were great!!! Thank you for organizing things so well,
and answering so many questions. If I have another Sunday with no work before going home, I may be back in touch!!!
--Thanks again, John
Just back from Cataratas de Iguazu. Wow!!! It is hard to find words to describe the falls. They are just spectacular. It rained quite a lot on Tuesday, the day we arrived, but we didn't care. The tour guide was fantastic and we walked all of the trails (ALL of them) from about 12:00 to 18:30. Thank you so much for organizing the trip. Everything was flawless and we felt very well taken care of by everyone we encountered.
--Best, Chris
Hi Armando,
Thanks for the follow up. I had a wonderful time in Argentina. Your service and your suggestions were the best. It was a great touch when I was told by Eduardo (driver/guide) that you would be meeting me at the hotel on my first day and to have time with you for a copa de vino. This is truly the best service. I have recommended your company to others while I was in Argentina and will continue to do so back here in the states to those who have a longing to visit Argentina. It was a special pleasure to have the same driver/guide for various activities. Eduardo was a true professional and full of history and wonderful stories. It was also nice to meet others, like David, from the city tour.
Thank you again for the wonderful experiences from the steak dinner recommendation, to the Iguacu falls experience, and the Tango dinner and show, and the leisurely day trip to Uruguay.
Muchas gracias!
--Joe
