'Shall We Go Home?' - South America Trip Planning Reviews 

I requested an itinerary for a 10 day trip to Salta and Jujuy provinces in Northwestern Argentina. Having discussed it with me via video call Joe came back with a detailed proposal outlining itinerary options as well as rental car and accommodation booking options . He tailored the proposal to my specifications and fine tuned it via subsequent video calls. While in the end I didn’t stick slavishly to his proposal it did provide a very helpful and cost effective framework for my trip and reassurance that I was covering all the essential elements of a once in a lifetime vacation in that corner of the world.

Joe has a great service. He has a lot of knowledge on all South America routes and was able to recommended us a lot of places. We had a route semi-defined and made loads of adjustments based on Joe’s tips. During the trip we also faced a couple of unforeseen events (typical in South America) and Joe as prompt in trying to help remotely. Great experience!! If we go back to that part of the world we will definitely go back to Joe.

Before I contacted Joe, I was trying to plan a multi week trip to Peru and Galapagos and was pretty overwhelmed. Joe responded to my enquiry swiftly and provided really useful tailored information at a very reasonable cost. I'd thoroughly recommend his service.

We had always dreamed of exploring South America, so we committed to a two-month highlights trip across the continent. The only problem? We had no idea where to start. We didn’t know anyone who had done a trip like this, and our initial searches online were overwhelming. The few options we found involved expensive travel agencies or cruise itineraries that rushed through major cities and offered little cultural immersion. We quickly realized that wasn’t the experience we wanted.

I decided to plan the trip myself, but the logistics were intimidating—countless connections, visa requirements, border crossings, neighborhoods to research, and a general lack of detailed itineraries for independent travel. There were just too many unknowns.

That’s when I found Joe at Shall We Go Home. His approach was completely different—personal, informed, and incredibly helpful. I sent over my rough outline, and he quickly turned it into a well-organized, day-by-day itinerary. One of the most valuable parts of working with Joe was his help with accommodations. With so many large cities divided into very different neighborhoods, choosing the right area to stay in is critical—and Joe nailed it every time.

He also gave us practical, real-world advice on crossing borders, using public transportation, and staying safe. It was obvious that he had been to these places himself—he knew which restaurants were worth it, which activities were must-dos, and which tourist traps to avoid. All the little details that usually take weeks of research? Joe had them covered.

The transformation was immediate. Instead of stressing over planning, we were able to focus on getting excited about the journey. We felt comfortable going to each new location, knowing we had a solid plan that was both flexible and grounded in real experience.

Looking back, I can’t imagine having done this trip without Joe’s guidance. His expertise turned a daunting idea into a very memorable adventure.

The service is 100% worth it!

As we started detailed planning for our trip to Argentina just a few weeks before departure, Joe’s ideas, practical advice, and excellent time management helped us save time and made our three-week holiday in Argentina unforgettable, filled with wonderful experiences and memories.

Having a comprehensive itinerary expertly crafted and personalised to our specific travel preferences was an absolute game-changer. It saved us an immense amount of time and effort, as we didn't have to worry about researching what equipment to get, what clothes to bring, which vaccines were needed, how to travel between destinations, or any of the other essential details for a trip to South America. We were able to do so much during our five weeks there, and it was incredibly reassuring to know that we were making the most of each day, experiencing the best sights and activities in every location we visited. Couldn’t recommend enough!
