Testimonials

Diane and Jim Anderson in Lima Hello Gavin,

Five weeks in South America and we joke that we received "more for less." Our questions were always promptly and thoroughly answered. This service was SO much better than buying a packaged tour!!!. We always appreciated the flexibility and personal touch, AND all at a reasonable price. We highly recommend Brazil For Less and plaudits to Gavin who easily earned his beer when we met up with him in Lima.
Diane and Jim Anderson,
Victoria, BC Canada.
