South America Travel Centre 7 Jeffcott Street, West Melbourne, Victoria 3003

"My daughter and I had a lovely time visiting Antartica last December. It was a fascinating and educational journey for both of us. The scenery was just breathtaking and exceptional! Our time in the cruise ship was comfortable and satisfying. Also, a big thank you to Alana Lewthwaite of SATC, she was very helpful and professional of how she handled our travel arrangement. - Roshan and Shamara Mendis"

"This was our second trip with SATravel, the first a few years ago to Cuba and this time to Patagonia and Antarctica. On both occasions we were very happy with the organisation and especially in the way we could tailor the trip to our needs. Excellent service, knowledge and follow up. Recommended (I never give more than 4 starts ;-) )"

"We decided to book our recent "trip-of-a-lifetime" to South America and Antarctica through South America Travel Centre. And we are really glad that we did! Only a month or two before our departure, the ship that we were booked on to Antarctica ran aground up in the Arctic. Before we even knew about it, SATC had already found us an alternative ship and held cabins on board for us in case our ship was not able to make it down. This was a life-saver, as indeed the original voyage was cancelled. SATC made all necessary itinerary changes to make it all work smoothly. Then again, during our South America travels, when Aerolineas Argentinas airline strikes threatened to derail our plans, SATC's loco agents in Argentina were on the ball, changing plans on the fly and the local guide even waited for hours at the airport with us to make sure we got a flight. It was fantastic knowing that if things went wrong, there was someone who would fix it for us. Hayley and the rest of the team at South America Travel Centre were amazing throughout, always friendly and helpful, and all the accommodations, excursions, local tours and transfers arranged were fantastic. I would highly recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to South America and/or Antarctica."

"We cannot recommend SATC more highly. After having to cancel our original bookings at the end of last year due to health issues, we rebooked and enjoyed the most unique experiences - cruising in the Antarctic, a unique and incredibly satisfying time. We then travelled through Ushuaia, Buenos Aires, Santiago and the Atacama desert. The transfers and tours recommended by SATC were on time, with friendly and very professional guides, the vehicles spotless and comfortable. We also booked FoodyChile tours (a market and cooking tour, and a wine country tour) in Santiago and this was without doubt a real highlight. We finished our trip in the Atacama desert, another amazingly diverse environment. Thanks so much to Hayley at SATC, your expertise and professional advice are priceless."

"We are not people who generally book our travels through an agency. But when we planned to travel to South America we decided to invite experts to help us put together something that would hit the right spots, be safe and trouble-free. Hayley at South America Travel Centre put it together for us, and we had the trip of our lives. The care and support we received throughout was exceptional. The Centre's agents through Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil and Argentina were high standard and personable; the itinerary was balanced and imaginative. When unforeseen circumstances forced a sudden change in some of our plans, the team didn't miss a beat, and we enjoyed every aspect—fascinating places and cultures, surprising cities, vast and beautiful wildernesses, and some excellent hiking too."
