I have to admit that the trip has been excellent

05-Apr-2016

We have made, my wife and I, a 20 day trip through Argentina, visiting Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Bariloche, El Calafate, Ushuaia and Puerto Madryn, organized by QWERTY. I have to admit that the organization of the trip, by QWERTY, has been excellent, spending one of the most pleasant trips, ever lived. We have found ourselves at home, safe, satisfied and delighted by the attention that Constance has had in dispensing us. Without a doubt, we will repeat with the same Agency, if we decide to return to this beautiful country, to see the region of Salta that was left pending. Thanks Constance

They prepared a package that turned out to be a success

09-Apr-2015

We are a Spanish couple traveling through Argentina. We decided to spend a few days in Mendoza but we did not have time to organize anything. At Qwerty they prepared a package that turned out to be a success. The boutique hotel we stayed in was magnificent, the visits to the most interesting wineries and even the recommendations for our excursions (we had a rental car and we went for free) were very useful. They can trust them, they are very professional and, of course, they know what they are doing. We want to return to Patagonia and I will trust them again.
