Book guided tours in South America

Discover more with a guide who knows the place. We help you choose excursions based on your interests, preferred language and how you want to spend the day.

SambaTravel arranges guided city visits, nature excursions and other experiences with local operators. You can book a single tour or several activities as part of a longer trip.

A guided activity can provide valuable context at the start of a stay or time to explore a particular interest in depth. We help you decide which experiences would benefit from a guide and how to combine them with days spent exploring independently.

Guiding that matches your interests

History, architecture, food or wildlife? Tell us what you would like to explore and we will look for a suitable programme.

We check the guiding language and tour content. A city visit in Buenos Aires and a nature excursion in the Pantanal call for different expertise and arrangements.

A useful enquiry describes not just the sights you want to see, but what you would like to understand. That might be a city's history, everyday life in a neighbourhood or the workings of a natural environment. The clearer the interest, the better we can assess whether a broad introduction or more specialised guiding would suit you. We discuss the approach with the local operator.

Private guide or group excursion

A private tour often offers more scope to adjust the pace and stops. A group excursion can suit you if you enjoy sharing the experience and following a fixed programme.

We help compare price, group size, duration and pick-up arrangements. How much the programme can change depends on the tour and is checked before booking.

Consider how much of the tour is spent at the destination itself. Pick-ups from several hotels and shared stops can affect the day. A private tour may allow more time for questions and breaks, but access, transport and opening hours still set limits. We help you understand these differences before choosing.

A day that suits you

Tell us how much walking you would like to do and any practical requirements we should consider. We check the programme, transport and timings against the rest of your trip.

For nature excursions, we consider your travel period when suggesting activities. Specific wildlife sightings and weather conditions cannot be promised.

When travelling with children, older travellers or people with different levels of stamina, the whole day needs to work for the group. Walking distances, terrain, opportunities for breaks and time spent in a vehicle or boat all matter. Tell us what you usually enjoy on an excursion, giving us a practical starting point when discussing options with the operator.
