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.

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

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.

All of our plans went off very smoothly from Fabian picking us up at the airport to dropping us off at the cruise port 5 days later. Any changes we requested were made very seamlessly.
Agustin communicated with us very well. Our time in South America was enhanced by working with Signature DMC.

23-Feb-2025
Had a week off and took to BA and contacted the agency. Had the pleasure of contacting Carolina Miguens and she gave me a pair of options; first one was a trip to the Iguazú falls in northern Argentina, we where escorted to the airport back and forth. In Iguazú there was a private guide waiting for us and spent the whole day there! Such a wonderful day trip! When we came back Carolina had for us a 3 days 2 nights stay in Bariloche 5star hotel with a couple of tour which where excellent! Carolina always had contact with us asking if everything was ok! And everything ok. Went back to BA and a driver was waiting for us to take us back to our hotel!! Yes I recommend Carolina Miguens & DMC tours if you go to Ba! Next time I plan to book a trip to Usuahia! Addendum came back Feb 15 2025 and as usual Carolina Miguens & DmC took care of tour to Calafate and Perito Moreno 5 star service
