Argentina
Gauchos, Malbec & Mountains
The Passion Of The Tango
Stretching nearly 3,500-kilometres to the very southern tip of South America, Argentina is the land of the tango, gauchos, polo, malbec, glacier-topped mountains and perfectly grilled steaks. Our hand-crafted, bespoke Argentina and Patagonia tours, are tailored specifically to your personal interests, whether you’re a hardened outdoor adventurer or an avid culture vulture.
Many begin their journeys by enjoying the cosmopolitan splendour of Buenos Aires and strolling through pretty green parks, browsing art galleries, shopping for designer clothes and lingering over coffee at streetside cafés. Then drink in the night-owl energy of the passionate locals as the sun sets and stylish bistros, bars and sultry tango ballrooms come alive.
Argentina’s cultural heritage is the perfect partner to its natural beauty. With our tailor-made and totally customised Argentina tours, you can experience the life of a gaucho staying at an estancia in the pampas, swim in gin-clear lakes and fly fish trout-filled rivers in Patagonia, then head to Mendoza to feast on the gastronomy and award-winning wines of Argentina’s gourmet capital. But that’s just the beginning. You might also work with the Classic Safari Company’s highly experienced team to track jaguars in the Ibera wetlands, traverse the mythical valleys, salt flats and ancient Inca settlements of Salta and marvel at the power of Iguazú Falls.
Wilderness lovers like to combine a tailormade Patagonia adventure with an expeditionary cruise into Antarctica. The opportunity to feel dwarfed by immense glaciers and see penguins and whales at play in a part of the world rarely touched by humans is something that you’ll never forget.

Mr & Mrs Buttenshaw
An absolutely fantastic travel company - every one of the many trips they have organised for us over 22 years have been faultless and fabulous.
Judith & Roger Williams
You can't improve on perfection. I had my best birthday and holiday with my family celebrating my 80th birthday in Africa. Everything that Julia organised was perfect and the whole trip was a highlight!
Buckingham Family
Would do it all again and not change a moment. Best holiday ever!
The McGowan Tribe
We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!
Mark Taylor
Absolutely everything was first class & so well organised.

The trip of a lifetime, couldn't have dreamt of a better adventure if I tried.
