Fantastic experience: I want to commend Anna on her honesty & integrity. I did not book my trip through Anna because she genuinely believed she couldn't assist me with my choice of journey. Not dollar driven. She pointed me in the right direction where i would be better suited. If that is not a sign of not only of an outstanding person, but also her ethics regarding business. Anna i am forever grateful to have met such a real person. Thank you. Credit to you. You deserve all the happiness & success. I would recommend you to anyone wanting to seek your services.

Fantastic experience: Well paced and thoughtful itinerary. Had a wealth of knowledge about our destination (Chile/Peru). Even suggest a last minute change of hotel as they had received some negative feedback Everything ran smoothly and as expected, can't ask for much more than that, A wonderful trip.

Fantastic experience: Everything was as it was supposed to be and we never had to lift a finger. We were picked up at Buenos Aires airport and taken to a well located and appointed hotel by our local guide Monica. Given a great personal half day tour of Buenos Aires. Given any information we needed for a pleasant stay. Taken to an enjoyable tango show and dinner and back to the hotel afterwards. Next day, taken to the domestic airport for a flight to Iguazu. There, collected by a great guide for a personal tour to and of Iguazu falls. The guide, Elvis, stayed with us throughout the tour even through one of the heaviest rainstorms I've ever experienced, a storm that caught us in the open on the long open walk to the viewing platform at the Devil's Throat water fall that soaked us more than the excellent boat ride under the falls did. Then taken to a well chosen great and quirky jungle hotel for a well earned sleep. Next day taken to the airport for the flight back to Buenos Aires where again we were collected by our guide, Monica and taken back to our hotel for another day in BA and next morning taken to the cruise terminal. All in all, a great tailor made experience arranged by the South American Travel Centre whom I will certainly use again in the future and whom I very highly recommend to anyone contemplating a trip to South America.

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I had a lovely time visiting Antartica last December. It was a fascinating and educational journey for both of us. The scenery was just breathtaking and exceptional! Our time in the cruise ship was comfortable and satisfying. Also, a big thank you to Alana Lewthwaite of SATC, she was very helpful and professional of how she handled our travel arrangement. - Roshan and Shamara Mendis

Positive experience: This was our second trip with SATravel, the first a few years ago to Cuba and this time to Patagonia and Antarctica. On both occasions we were very happy with the organisation and especially in the way we could tailor the trip to our needs. Excellent service, knowledge and follow up. Recommended (I never give more than 4 starts ;-) )

Fantastic experience: From the first contact, Hayley and the team at SATC we’re responsive, well organised and knowledgeable. Hayley and team gave us ideas based on getting to know our preferred travel style and they came up with an itinerary that was magicaland was just right for us.

Fantastic experience: We decided to book our recent "trip-of-a-lifetime" to South America and Antarctica through South America Travel Centre. And we are really glad that we did! Only a month or two before our departure, the ship that we were booked on to Antarctica ran aground up in the Arctic. Before we even knew about it, SATC had already found us an alternative ship and held cabins on board for us in case our ship was not able to make it down. This was a life-saver, as indeed the original voyage was cancelled. SATC made all necessary itinerary changes to make it all work smoothly. Then again, during our South America travels, when Aerolineas Argentinas airline strikes threatened to derail our plans, SATC's loco agents in Argentina were on the ball, changing plans on the fly and the local guide even waited for hours at the airport with us to make sure we got a flight. It was fantastic knowing that if things went wrong, there was someone who would fix it for us. Hayley and the rest of the team at South America Travel Centre were amazing throughout, always friendly and helpful, and all the accommodations, excursions, local tours and transfers arranged were fantastic. I would highly recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to South America and/or Antarctica.

Fantastic experience: We cannot recommend SATC more highly. After having to cancel our original bookings at the end of last year due to health issues, we rebooked and enjoyed the most unique experiences - cruising in the Antarctic, a unique and incredibly satisfying time. We then travelled through Ushuaia, Buenos Aires, Santiago and the Atacama desert. The transfers and tours recommended by SATC were on time, with friendly and very professional guides, the vehicles spotless and comfortable. We also booked FoodyChile tours (a market and cooking tour, and a wine country tour) in Santiago and this was without doubt a real highlight. We finished our trip in the Atacama desert, another amazingly diverse environment. Thanks so much to Hayley at SATC, your expertise and professional advice are priceless.

Fantastic experience: We are not people who generally book our travels through an agency. But when we planned to travel to South America we decided to invite experts to help us put together something that would hit the right spots, be safe and trouble-free. Hayley at South America Travel Centre put it together for us, and we had the trip of our lives. The care and support we received throughout was exceptional. The Centre's agents through Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil and Argentina were high standard and personable; the itinerary was balanced and imaginative. When unforeseen circumstances forced a sudden change in some of our plans, the team didn't miss a beat, and we enjoyed every aspect—fascinating places and cultures, surprising cities, vast and beautiful wildernesses, and some excellent hiking too.
