Review: Luxury Argentina Family Vacation, Patagonia, Mendoza, Estancias Horseback Riding

I do not typically use travel agents, but given we were hoping to get a bit 'off the beaten path' in Argentinian Patagonia we decided to go with a local agent.  We were extremely happy with our experience.  Our agent was extremely knowledgeable about Argentina, and found several places we would never have found on our own that we really enjoyed, and also suggested interesting activities.  He also was sensitive to our unique needs (traveling with 2 kids under 6). He was extremely responsive, both well before the trip and during our trip when we had quick questions, including about aspects that he did not arrange (we did the flights through Expedia, but he answered questions about them, how to best arrange the internal travel in a logical order).  Everything went off without a hitch, and the trip was one of our best ever.
