Travelsphere Arvostelua 1 216

We have just returned from a truly wonderful trip to Chilli, Argentina and Brazil which was made all the more special by Simona, who was an exceptional guide. She consistently went above and beyond in every aspect—thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely personable throughout.
All excursions and transfers ran seamlessly, and all local guides were superb with expert knowledge on all areas. All of which made the experience even more enjoyable and stress-free.
My only criticism would be that the time spent in Santiago and Buenos Aires felt a little short; an additional day in each would have made the itinerary perfect.
For anyone considering this trip, I would highly recommend opting for the two extra days in Rio—they are absolutely worth it.

Excellent guide(s), good hotel, yummy food.

Travelsphere went above and beyond during our tour of India. Our tour director was very good and the itinerary excellent. Most of all we were very grateful to Travelsphere for making all the arrangements to get 21 of us home after war broke out in Iran and lovely hotel accommodation while we waited.

We really enjoyed our recent Travelsphere holiday. The holiday rep was excellent and the tours were outstanding

What a fantastic holiday and unforgettable adventure in South Africa! on 13 February to 5 march 2026. From arriving at Cape Town airport and meeting the rest of our group and Diggie, our wonderful tour guide, everything was perfectly organised from the start.
Throughout our journey, we were amazed by the incredible variety of sights and the sheer beauty of every destination on the tour. Each place offered something unique, and the experiences were truly memorable. The hotels we stayed in were all excellent, with great meals and seamless travel arrangements that made the whole trip enjoyable.
What made our tour especially outstanding was our guide, Diggie. His care, knowledge, and exceptional efficiency ensured everything ran smoothly. He went above and beyond to make the experience special, and his passion truly enhanced our adventure.
Thank you, Diggie, for making this such a joyful and unforgettable trip!

Just back from an unforgettable 18-day South America trip—truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This was our second time traveling with Travelsphere, and once again they were excellent from booking to return, with great support, smooth organisation, and attentive, friendly staff throughout.

The itinerary was spot-on, with everything we wanted included, and the whole journey was seamless—from being greeted at the airport to having a Tour Director with us every step of the way. The hotels were clean and varied, ranging from simple and authentic to more luxurious, all with good food and helpful staff.

A special mention has to go to our Tour Director, Joseph Pimental, who was outstanding from start to finish and truly made the trip. He was incredibly organised and structured, always keeping us informed about each day’s plans and ensuring nothing was missed. He also had a great personality—he understood the British sense of humour and happily joined in the banter, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

What really set him apart was his dedication. When our flight was delayed, he stayed with us right until the very end to make sure everyone had a way home—something he didn’t have to do, but it showed just how much he cared.

A fantastic, well-organised trip with an exceptional guide—I would highly recommend Travelsphere for a memorable and stress-free travel experience.

We’ve just spent 18 days visiting 4 (and for some of us 5) South American countries. The company's attention to detail in planning the itinerary so we could experience the very best that these countries had to offer was flawless. The most important ingredient in making it the trip of a lifetime was, without question, our experienced and caring tour director. He handled every situation with a professional expertise and conscientiousness that ensured that we could all relax and simply enjoy our time.

have just done tour of vietnam and Cambodia. Lu our tour director was exceptional. he was brilliant at looking after all of us and ensuring we all had a good time. he is an asset to travelsphere.

Our “Latin Wonders of the World” holiday was truly unforgettable, featuring an incredible itinerary packed with iconic highlights such as Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, Iguazú Falls, Christ the Redeemer, and Sugarloaf Mountain. Each destination was breathtaking and made the journey feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The tour itself was very full, with a busy schedule that left limited free time—but this also meant we were able to see and experience an impressive amount in a relatively short period. While a few of the hotels felt slightly below the usual Travelsphere standard, this did not detract significantly from the overall experience.

The group size was larger than we would have preferred; however, it was handled exceptionally well by our outstanding Tour Director, Joseph. His organisation, professionalism, and calm approach ensured everything ran smoothly despite the challenges of managing such a large group.

Joseph truly went above and beyond throughout the trip. Each day, he kept us thoroughly informed about upcoming plans, travel requirements, safety considerations, and even suggestions for making the most of our limited free time. His dedication was especially evident when we missed our connecting flight to Heathrow. Although he was officially off duty, he took it upon himself to ensure every member of the group was taken care of—organising hotel accommodation, transport, and rebooked boarding passes. His commitment and care were nothing short of exceptional.

Despite the size of the group, we were fortunate to travel with a wonderful group of people. There was a real sense of camaraderie, with everyone supporting one another—particularly during the unexpected challenges at the end of the trip.

Ultimately, what made this holiday truly special was Joseph. His passion, dedication, and tireless efforts elevated the entire experience. Quite simply, he is the best Tour Director we could have hoped for.

Thank you, Joe—you are amazing!

The South American tour with Travelsphere through Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and ending in Brazil was a truly marvellous tour. The journey was filled with incredible sights, wonderful people, and unforgettable experiences. The warmth of the local communities and the richness of the culture made every destination special. From breathtaking landscapes to vibrant cities, it was an outstanding trip and a memorable experience from beginning to end.
Our tour guide Joe played a major role in making this South American tour such a memorable and rewarding experience. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to his guests set a very high standard for tour guiding.

This was an amazing Travelsphere trip covering 5 South American countries. We experienced different cultures, scenery, currency and climates. There were many highlight including visits to Macchu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, La Paz and Moon Valley, Argentinian Tango accompanied by a traditional meal (fab steak!), Christ the Redeemer, a stay on Copacabana beach in Rio and a day visit to the lovely Uruaguay. Our tour was led by the incredible tour director Joseph Pimentel. Ours was a big group (34) and his organisation was impeccable. Joseph ensured that we were fully briefed each day about the next day - times to meet, footwear and clothing (eg rain jacket) to wear, whether to take mosquito repellent / sun cream etc and any other particular details for the day eg : if passports were needed, how to obtain local currency etc. This was done in a clear, concise written way. There were several flights and he ensured we all had boarding passes and were confident about all details of flights. He always ensured the whole group were present when necessary and counted us frequently. He always went the extra mile and ensured that personal queries were fully dealt with providing unlimited support. Eg: he accompanied a member of the party to the doctors and ensured she purchased the correct medication. Joseph was always calm, cheerful, respectful, efficient, positive and efficient. It was evident that a positive experience for all members of the party was paramount to Joseph. He took pains to get to know everyone well. His commitment was clearly demonstrated after he had fulfilled all the requirements as leader of the tour. Our flight from Rio to San Paulo had to be diverted and delayed because of bad weather and as a consequence we missed the connection flight to Heathrow. Luckily Joseph was on the same flight on his way home. He went above and beyond in liaising with airport staff very late at night to ensure we all had accommodation with hotel, food and taxi vouchers as well as revised flight bookings. He has also enquired as to whether all the party eventually got home. This was my 20th holiday with Travelsphere or Just You and I can honestly say he has been the very best tour director especially with the leadership of such a large, diverse group. I hope he gets to manage many more groups for your company in the future. A wonderful holiday , group and travel director. Thank you.

Our journey around South America was fantastic - our visits to iconic sites were very well organised and seamless. The hotels and transport were always high quality. I have nothing but the highest praise for our Tour Director Joseph, who was kind, patient, always very helpful, very well organised and delivered over and above especially when our flights were diverted, ensuring that everyone on the trip was sorted even though he also had a flight to catch. He is an absolute asset to Travel sphere and deserves 5 stars.

Recent tour to Latin America with Travelsphere. Overall experience was excellent.
The itenary at the beginning of the tour was gruelling but got to see many places. Good experience in Lima, Cusco, Puno, La Paz, Iguaçú, Buenos Aires and finally Rio.
Overall accommodation was good and breakfast inclusive was excellent in some hotels that we stayed in.
Most importantly for the tour to be successful is dependent on the tour director. We were fortunate to have a top notch guide- Joseph Pimental. He provided us with good guidance and leadership. The group itself got on well with each other and very supportive to each other. Joseph was able to maintain cohesiveness within the group. Joseph was compassionate, an excellent communicator, inclusive of the tour group with decision making when ever he can, knowledgeable in the places he has guided us to, supportive to the less able in negotiating some difficult areas of the tour and he provided such excellent leadership when our flight left without the team due to delay from flight congestion. He dealt the situations in a calm approach manner. He went beyond his role, staying at the airport to sort out transport, accommodation and onwards flight home before boarding his own flight for home. We are truly thankful and grateful to Joseph. Travelsphere should be proud to have him on their team.

If the review was purely for Joseph, our amazing guide for the Travelsphere Latin Wonders of the World dep. 24/2/26, then my score would definitely be 5 star. I have not been on many organised tours but Joseph was considerably better than any other Tour Director I have experienced and I think will be extremely hard to beat on any future tours. Fantastic organisation, great communicator, genuinely interested in all passengers, all wrapped with a very friendly manner and great sense of humour. The icing on the cake was when Joseph went above the call of duty when we all missed our final flight connection to come home. The 4/5 for the tour itself is down to a few improvements which I think Travelsphere could implement to make this tour even better, which my wife and I will feedback to them separately. All in all an excellent introduction to South America with some amazing highlights never to be forgotten.

The tour visited some amazing places in South America. The standard of accommodation was excellent although some of the hotels were a little isolated. What made the holiday a success was our tour guide Joseph who was thorough in every thing he did. He was knowledgable, had a good sense of humour, articulate, very accommodating
The trip would not have been the same without him.

Excellent planning of itinerary.
If a little fullon for the older customers who are most likely to be able to book this sort of tour.

Comprehensive tour, good value for money. Sorted out the return journey home and covered the additional costs due to the Gulf war, can be relied upon in unexpected circumstances.

Christmas on Amalfi Coast with Travelsphere.
Need to get away for Christmas,this was an amazing experience.

A very well organised and very enjoyable tour

Just returned from a new Travelsphere holiday ‘Incredible India & Nepal’. Fabulous itinerary and stayed in very good hotels and lodges. The local Indian and Nepalese holiday directors were amazing as were our minibus drivers who skilfully got us through the sometimes very challenging road conditions 😯
