We love to get feedback - it helps us find out what our clients really want. Here's a random selection of comments from our past customers!
Brazil
“We had the time of our lives and I had no idea Brazil was so special! Iguaçu particularly blew us away and the Pantanal was fabulous too. We saw lots of jaguars, yes - on every drive in fact. We didn’t see an anteater or tapir but lots of other mammals and birds of course and it was the jaguar we wanted most. Rio was huge fun and the carnival seats were fantastic - right in the middle by the judges so we enjoyed all the special antics for them. We loved Brazil so much that we’re thinking of Montevideo and Argentina next year as our niece is going to study in Uruguay! We will no doubt be in touch. Many thanks again, you did us proud.” - D&NC travelled in February 2025
Ecuador/Galapagos/Colombia
“We would like to thank you for all your assistance over a few months, and we would have no hesitation in recommending Last Frontiers to others, particularly if planning a trip to countries where English is not routinely easily found. It really was a memorable trip and left us with many happy memories.” - J&VH travelled in November 2024
Costa Rica
“Thank you so so much for all of your help, it was a really special trip and I’m already missing Costa Rica. All our hotels and transfers were perfect and your itinerary suited us so well. Having the transfers all sorted made it so easy for us and I’m so grateful that our trip was planned so well and allowed us to see everything we wanted to.
Our highlights were definitely Mawamba Lodge (Tortuguero), as their staff were just brilliant and the boat trip, the town and the Caribbean Coast was beautiful. For us Arenal and La Fortuna was incredible. The waterfall was amazing (very refreshing!) and the location of the hotel, and being able to wake up and see the Volcano from the balcony was unbelievable. Of course all of our locations were outstanding and we enjoyed every single place we visited.
Everything was so easy and my only downside was that it went so quickly and I wish we had been able to spend longer there. Thank you again for all of your help, we had the best time and I have fallen in love with Costa Rica!” - BS travelled in March 2024
Cuba
“We had a fabulous holiday and feel as if we immersed ourselves in Cuba. There were all sorts of highlights, from snorkelling in the Bay of Pigs, to hiking to Fidel's hideaway in the Sierra Maestra, to spending a morning visiting Hemingway's haunts by 1950s open-topped American car. We would like to make special mention of your Cuban partners who organised our accommodation, transport and social agenda and most notably, their driver/guide, who was exceptional. He looked after us for 13 nights with immaculate driving - no mean feat on the roads and with the fuel shortage - humour, warmth and consideration. He introduced us to local customs, food and experiences beyond our expectations, and gave us confidence in an unfamiliar environment. All the other guides we met along the way were also well-informed, friendly and helped to make our Cuban adventure very special.” - JF&PW travelled in February 2024
Colombia
“Thanks to you and all at Last Frontiers for putting together a well balanced schedule with memorable hotels and locations. Our guides - particularly in Bogotá and San Agustín - were excellent and the team were very much on the ball when we needed them.” - SF travelled in December 2023
Mexico
“I had a wonderful time in Mexico, it was a hugely enjoyable trip: all flights and arrangements worked really well and I thank you for all your efforts. The schedule that you created worked very well, producing some wonderful memories and my guide was exceptional and very knowledgeable - I could not be more delighted. The Espirito Santo, swimming with sea lions excursion, was excellent - it was of course a delight to swim with the sea lions, to observe them at close quarters, but also to see the islands, landscapes, and fauna and flora. The day was calm, with little wind and ample sunshine and was perfect for the activities undertaken.
We saw one youngish whale shark close to the boat and were unlucky not to see any grey whales, but the tour was turned into one of the most enjoyable excursions by the extensive knowledge of the guide who pointed out so many different birds (including pelicans, cormorants, heron, ibis, caracara, a barn owl, a green-breasted mango etc.) and explained about the mangroves ecology. He encouraged the boat captain to search further waters (in the hope of seeing whales) and we were rewarded by a fine sighting of a dozen or so dolphins with some young.
The blue whales tour – Isla Carmen, Loreto, was a delight for the sea life we saw but also for the landscapes and sheer joy of being in an open boat on the largely calm sea. The boat captain was commendably attentive to his responsibilities to the whales and took pains to ensure good sightings were possible, and the knowledge of my guide made the tour very much more rewarding than it would otherwise have been. With great luck we encountered a humpback whale soon after leaving Loreto and were afforded good views, including its tail fin making a silhouette against the sun. Dolphins, mantarays and many different birds were seen and right at the end of the tour (causing its duration to be extended) we had a clear, fairly close sighting of a blue whale. The whole tour was a delight.
In Bahia Magdalena the boat captain was superbly good at his job, tracking down the grey whales with some skill in the swell and manoeuvring the boat at close quarters to the whales for some considerable time to afford the closest contact. We encountered two grey whales who, perhaps having become used to human contact, were willing to display themselves even to the point of being touched. I understand that the sighting and contact we enjoyed was of a quality that could hardly be exceeded. The guide provided much information and encouraged us to interact with the whales. He also arranged a delicious lunch at one of the restaurants in the port.
Once again, the whole experience of my visit to Mexico was a succession of delights, typically exceeding expectations, and I remain very favourably impressed with how you managed to assemble such a wonderful programme for me and with such little effort being required of me. I record my lasting appreciation.” - BF travelled in February 2024
Costa Rica
“We had a fantastic week in Costa Rica - the organisation, trips, hotels all perfect. Despite la niña (such a naughty girl) meaning the rainy season extended to end of year at least, it didn't take away our enjoyment.” - R&SK travelled in November 2024
Chile/Argentina
“Thanks for all your help organising the trip to Chile and Argentina - it was fantastic. We had a wonderful time and now to try to get the 1000 photos down to something more manageable. We had great weather and saw everything - including Fitzroy, Torres del Paine and the Torres. So much great stuff to chat through and thanks again for all your great planning.” - MH travelled in November 2024
Colombia
“At the outset we wanted a trip which would include the best of Colombia and also to see some of the famous birdlife. Overall the trip was excellent and the guides and your local agents were very good. Our one day in Bogotá was perfect, Hacienda Venecia in the coffee region was an excellent choice and the highlight of the birding side of the trip was Rio Blanco Cloud Forest and the wonderful hummingbirds. Jardin was a smashing little town and the visit to see the Cock of the Rock was something else - we saw around 20! We very much enjoyed Medellin but were disappointed by Tayrona. Cartegena was very hot but I think we covered every single street in the old town, ate in some excellent restaurants and enjoyed the plunge pool at our hotel, Alfiz.” - PC travelled in November 2023
Costa Rica/Ecuador/Galapagos
“We had a wonderful time and it was a 'once in a lifetime' event. Thank you so much for making all the arrangements which worked flawlessly.” - PB travelled in April 2025
Brazil
“Brazil has been a mind-blowing experience. A huge thank you for everything, the guides, hotels and drivers have all been fantastic, and the organisation superb.
Highlights for me and the family were:
The Brazilian people, so lovely, helpful and charming.
Rio, touring around with our guide and walking along Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. He was incredible and we had so much fun with him.
Paraty, the amazing hotel, rock sliding, swimming and snorkelling. Lovely guides here too.
Manaus, great tour with our local guide, a very interesting person.
The Amazon, just everything (caiman, sloths, amazing birds, monkeys, spiders, frogs, piranhas, trees, flowers, etc. etc. etc). The guides and all staff at the lodge were extremely interesting, helpful, kind and fun to be with.
Caipirinhas!
So once again, a huge thanks from us all, we have memories for a lifetime.” - LVF travelled in July 2023
Ecuador
“What a holiday!! I had a marvellous time in Ecuador. The itinerary you put together met all my expectations and more.
The Napo valley was very special, I wish I had had more time there. The three guides Pedro, Abel and Roger who were with me the whole time were brilliant. They went out of their way to ensure I was able to observe and experience the magnificence of the national park. Their knowledge and expertise is second to none.
It’s not just the things you do and the places you visit that make a holiday but the people you meet along the way. Marco Toscano, my guide for most of the holiday, was exemplary. One of the best guides (if not the best) I have ever had and a great companion.” - RH travelled in September 2023
Cuba
“We had a wonderful holiday, thank you! Huge thanks to you and the team in the UK and also the team in Cuba. All the accommodation was great and most of the restaurants and bars suggested were also spot on. Our driver was absolutely brilliant - he was a careful and safe driver with excellent English and very knowledgable about his country. We also enjoyed all of the walking tours and the boat trip in Trinidad was one of the highlights of our whole holiday. All in all then a fabulous holiday, although very sobering to experience the changes for Cubans since we were last there in 2016.” - DC travelled in March 2023
Mexico
“Thank you for arranging the trip which worked really well and it’s another one ticked off the bucket list. All the guides were really great, very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and proud of their heritage. With a trip like this it is always difficult to pick out the highlights - so many places and sights! Mexico City was vibrant and interesting but we weren’t sorry to leave the smog behind. Oaxaca and Campeche were our favourite cities - both colonial-style hotels and buildings make you feel you have arrived in the real Mexico. They were relaxed and friendly, good places to visit. If we have to choose a favourite archaeological site it would be the small Kabah site which we arrived at quite early in the morning. It was so quiet we had it almost to ourselves.It was quite right to include the day of relaxation at the Hacienda Santa Rosa. After lots of travelling and visits it was good to have a rest. Likewise, the final days on the beachside Ana y José in Tulum were just right.” - S&JH travelled in February 2025
Argentina
“We had an amazing holiday - our third trip to the country but this time it has really felt like we have been “in” Argentina. The journey from the Andes to the Atlantic was spectacular and jaw-dropping and Gwion was wonderful as a guide and friend. Sunset to ourselves with the colony of 600,000 Magellanic penguins at Estancia San Lorenzo was very special.” - I&LW travelled in January 2025
