Pricing Guidelines for Private Holidays in South America

Prices can vary considerably for tailor-made travel as the quality of hotels, places visited and time of travel is entirely up to you. In addition, you may choose to have a private guide to escort your right through your holiday in South America, or simply have the services of local Indian guides at each port of call. Prices also vary by the number of people in your travelling party, as fixed costs like transportation and guiding are shared across each group.  For an indication of costs, please look at our South American group tours. These are cheaper than tailor-made holidays as they are based on group travel. For a tailor-made holiday to South America, you maybe expect to pay at least 50% more, though this does depend on the quality of hotels you have selected.

Getting around South America whilst on holiday

• Road Travel: Airport transfers and road travel at each port of call will be in our own chauffeur driven, private air-conditioned vehicles of modern European standard.
• Air Travel: We recommend covering large distances by internal flights which are normally on scheduled services with local airlines.
