I just
wanted
to write
to tell
you that
we had
wonderful
tours of
Uruguay
with
Raquel.
The ten
of us
were
very
happy
with her
tours
and
expertise.
Please
relay to
her that
we were
very
pleased
with her
tours
and will
highly
recommended
your
company
to
others
touring
South
America.
Thank
you for
all you
work in
arranging
these
tours.
-Annette
and John
In a
nutshell: Thank
you SO much!
Brian and I had
the times of our
lives. Brian
liked it SO
much, in fact,
that he wants to
move there in
about a year, or
maybe live there
six months out
of the
year. (You'd
said Brian would
want to go back,
and you were
right, but I
don't think this
is what you
meant. ha ha
ha) Thank you so
much for all the
recommendations given,
and for anwering
all of our
questions
promptly and
completely; it
helped ease our
anxieties, and
helped us relax
and enjoy our
trip. It was a
pleasure to meet
you: You are a
very sweet guy,
just like the
rest of your
family. Please
send regards to
your parents.
-Sandy
Just
wanted you to know our
vacation was perfect!!!
All the connections and
tours were great. The
drivers were all waiting
at the airports and
again were very prompt
to take us back to the
airports. Thanks so
much for all your
organization skills. We
all had a great time.

After a few years of
reading about Uruguay,
and after five or more
phone conversations with
Diego, I still was not
quite sure yours was the
company to go with. I'd
never been to South
America. With my
tendency toward
skepticism, I felt
worried that Diego was
too enthusiastic, too
full of hype and not
enough substance. I
didn't quite believe his
constant insistence that
I would have a great
time, despite my
inability to speak
Spanish.
Wow, was I ever wrong!
As a 50th birthday gift
to myself, I booked two
weeks in Uruguay. As
fate would have it, I
was able to schedule my
southbound flight on the
same plane Diego and
Louise were on. In
fact, we ended up seated
in adjacent rows!
I'm sometimes a
cautious, picky person,
yet I could find nothing
not to like about either
of them. They both have
a deep love and respect
for Uruguay, and tons of
knowledge of many native
Uruguayan people and the
culture. Diego is a
native himself.
Once I arrived in
Montevideo, they treated
me with the same
kindness, courtesy and
warmth they would extend
to their own family. I
truly felt like part of
their extended family as
they introduced me to so
many warm, wonderful
folks. They were so
generous as to include
me in a family day
trip. They helped me to
connect with other
people from the states
who happened to be in
Uruguay at the same
time. There was no
question too small, no
favor too large to ask.
They were very flexible
in accommodating me and
other first-time guests.
If you want to have a
sweet experience in a
beautiful, loving
country, I highly
recommend you take
advantage of Diego and
Louise's amazing
expertise. Go. Just go,
and have a fantastic
experience you'll always
remember. I know I
always will...
-Steve P.
Wow, can't
believe it
all went by
so quickly,
it was
GREAT, to
put it
simply.
Thank you so
much for
everything,
for making
us feel so
welcomed,
like family.
You're all
great
people,
great
meeting you
all, can't
wait to see
you later in
the year for
sure.
-Robbie W.
We
are back in
the states
and
spreading
the word
about the
wonderful
time we had
in
Uruguay.
The New York
Times had an
article this
past Sunday
extolling
the virtues
of Punta Del
Este so you
will
probably see
more
business
than ever.
Thank you so
much for all
of your
efforts. It
was truly a
memorable
vacation.
All our best
to you and
your
family.
-Suzan
Thank you so much,
traveling with your
company and
you...makes this
truely a great
stress free
experience for us
first timers in
Uruguay. Cheers.
- Ben
Solo unas lineas
para decirte que
vinimos encantado de
tu pais, Uruguay.
Bello pais, la gente
muy amable. Colonia
y Punta del Este son
bellisimos, lastima
que fuimos por tan
corto tiempo. Fueron
unas vacaciones
excelentes apesar de
que no recibimos el
equipaje hasta el
cuarto dia de estar
alla. Los hotels/apartahoteless
donde nos enviates
fueron muy buenos y
el personal muy
gentil y amable.
Bob. Mi esposo is
still raving about
the meals.
Gracias, por tus
servicios, y el
paquete que nos
preparastes lo
recomendariamos sin
reservaciones. Que tengas
una felices
navidades y un
prospero Año Nuevo.
-Bob H.
We just wanted to thank you
for making this trip truly
memorable. We have only been
home for a short time, yet I
seem to be constantly telling
everyone about how amazing
Uruguay is and how special the
experience was because of
You! You have such a wonderful
family - we loved spending time
with all of them. You can be
sure we will be spreading the
word about you and your company!
-Ruth,
Julian, Jessica Stephanie &
Daniel
Diego: I wanted to tell you thank you
for everything that you have done for
Jay and I while we were in Punta. You
really went out of your way for us to
make me feel special for my first time
there. It was very nice to meet you. I
feel blessed to have met such a
wonderful person as yourself to help
with my vacation.
-Michael
Just wanted to thank you once again for making
our trip to Uruguay so special. Although
Uruguay is a spectacular country, your presence
and insight made it all the more special. Keep
in touch with us when you get back to the
states.
-Gayle and Scott
We are
pleased to tell you about our travel experience with
Diego Kraidelman and Louise Ayer's Discover Uruguay. We
have traveled extensively and consider our experience
with Discover Uruguay to be one of the most pleasant
and positive trips ever. There is no question that we
would utilize their services again, only how soon we
would do so. Since our trip, we have continually
advised friends and acquaintances of our Uruguayan
experience with Discover Uruguay. Although we are not
fluent in Spanish, our trip was quite comfortable due to
the planning, scheduling and assistance from Discover
Uruguay. While in Uruguay, we meet several other
clients of Discover Uruguay who shared our high regard
for Diego & Co. At all times Diego could be easily
contacted to personally assist in taking care of even
the smallest details.
-Kathleen and William
John and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in
Uruguay - beautiful, delightful country and
gracious , hospitable people. Enjoyed and
appreciated your recommendations for
lodging and sightseeing. Thank you for a
wonderful trip and we hope to return for a
longer stay.
-Barbara and John
Hi Diego... I couldn't
find ANYTHING on the internet for Uruguay until I found
your web pages. (And since the trip) I told (my
friends) to definitely go with your company.
-Kerry
Mentally we are
still with you in Montevideo. Suzanne and I enjoyed
your infectious upbeat attitude and love for both the US
and Uruguay. Our tour of Montevideo was enjoyable!
-Ray and Suzanne
We traveled to
Argentina and Uruguay using Diego as our planner. He did
an exceptional job for us, everything of the highest
standards. He met us in Uruguay and we spent a week with
us, our only problem was keeping up with his boundless
energy. Everything he promised was done. The condo is
beautiful and very well located; it overlooked both the
ocean and the river and was only a short walk from the
downtown area.
Punta del Este is
indeed one of the most beautiful places in the world, we
had been told this by many of our South American friends
and it was all that they described and more.
We were a bit concerned with making arrangements on
the internet, however meeting Diego and using his
services made this one of the best trips we have taken
and we have been to many parts of the world.
-Phyllis

Hello. We loved
Punta del Este. The condo was
lovely - convenient, comfortable and a great value during
the high season when we visited. Diego was able to show
us around when we arrived, but even without him, we
could easily have found the nearby restaurants,
groceries, BEACHES, etc. We had a rented car, but
walking to all these places was also no problem. The
housekeeping and other condo staff were very helpful and
friendly. Diego's itinerary ideas were all excellent:
varied and manageable.
-Kathy
We LOVED Uruguay.
Thank you for all the information you were able to give
us. It really helped us have a wonderful trip. Kevin
really wants to move there... I have been telling
EVERYONE about Uruguay!
-Carol
We would like to
thank you for showing us such a wonderful time and for
arranging our tours. We are happy to be home, but will
never forget our fantastic vacation....it was WOW! I
can now see why you love Uruguay so very much.
-Marshall and Phyllis
Fantastic service
above and beyond the call of duty. Diego made sure we
were well taken care of. Superior service - airport
pick up. Great travel suggestions and follow up. The
experience in Uruguay itself was beautiful and
relaxing. Would highly recommend.
-Ed
Great setting up
of hotel accommodations and car rental. They fixed it
so that I could leave a day earlier without additional
cost. I even got a ride to the airport. Expectations
were exceeded.
-Kathy
Great! Very
connected and highly organized! Recommended.
-Michael
We are back but
still wishing we were in Punta. We had the most
wonderful experience in Uruguay. Besides the wonderful
accommodations, the people were so very friendly....
Thanks so much for all you did to put this together for
us and hopefully we shall do this again in the near
future.
-Steve S.
Hello Diego, I am
just now back at work and back at the computer after our
trip to Argentina and Uruguay. I wanted to tell you how
much we enjoyed the Triangulo Towers. The location was
ideal. So easy to get to both the Playa Mansa and Playa
Brava sides of the beach. There were lots of
restaurants very close that were fabulous. There is
even a great weekend produce market. The condo was very
nice, although the balcony made us a bit nervous with
our very young children. We didn't make it to most of
the places you listed as we didn't have a car. We did
however go to the Museo del Mar which was a huge hit
with both us and our children. Mostly we enjoyed a
relaxing time hanging out at the beach. We loved
it and will recommend to all we know. Thanks very
everything.
-Jennifer
Hi Diego: I just
wanted to send you a brief "hello" now having returned
to Canada. We loved your country. As you know, the
weather was just so-so. But still, we had the best
time. The apartment was lovely. The golf course we played
in Punta, just a few miles out along the ocean, was
super duper. Mention that in your next letter to
tourists. Also, the Montevideo course near the Sheraton
was wonderful. On Mondays it is Free, and wouldn't your
clientele love to know about that. The people at the
front desk in your condo were especially helpful, and
the man that works there, I forget his name, about 45
and with glasses, was so good to us. He deserves to be
thanked by you for the way he treats your guests.
Thank-you, thank-you Diego, everything you arranged
went so smoothly. I would recommend you to anyone.
-David L.
How can I ever
begin to say thank you for the wonderful trip you
arranged for Dawn and me to Uruguay. It was everything
we could have dreamed it would be and then some more.
It was truly a life-changing experience for Dawn in
particular and I am so glad I was able to share it with
her.
Everyone we met,
even shopkeepers and strangers, when we told them
that Dawn was born in Uruguay, every single person said
"Welcome back to YOUR country". We felt at home
everywhere.
Javier was so
nice to us, he treated us like princesses the whole
time. He could not have been kinder to Dawn if he was
her own brother. He was very understanding and patient
and he even took us to his home, and we met his wife,
and he let us change our clothes there before the flight
back. He arranged everything so perfectly, and we saw so
much of the countryside and the city, even more than we
expected. He took so much of his own time to arrange a
visit to Dawn's former home. She was able to meet some
of the neighbors that remember her as a baby and she was
able to go inside the house where she lived. We saw
the barrio where her parents worked and I think she will
never look at her mother and father the same way
again.
I should also
tell you that what you did for us made many American
women cry. Dawn and I started to cry when we got on the
airplane to leave, and we did not stop until we reached
Argentina. Then her mother cried on the phone when she
called this morning and my mother cried when I emailed
her about my trip. But they are tears of joy. And we
decided that the reason it rained on our last day in
Uruguay is that the country did not want Dawn to leave
yet. On the airplane she told me she is coming back.
Maybe to live for awhile. I don't know but whatever she
decides I know that what we experienced this last week
will stay with us forever. When we get some of our
photos on the web I will let you both know so you can
view them.
Muchas, muchas
gracias from the bottom of my heart!!!
-Susan
We are home and had such a wonderful trip. We
loved Buenos Aires, the hotel and all the
walking. The hotel was beautiful and breakfast
WAS included in our room. We had no problems
and visited all the places you suggested.
We very much enjoyed visiting with you and
having all your help which made our trip most
enjoyable. Lunch was a special treat in
Montivideo. Louise was a delight and a special
person we can see why you enjoy being with her.
Let us know about Costa Rica for 7 nights and
the cost. We are looking at around February
18th.
-Rollin and Jane
Thank you for booking La Hotel Bluette. Hugo was
the best. He was an intelligent, generous,
humorous host. My stay in Argentina and Uruguay
was fantastic.
-Greg
The trip over was great and our car was waiting for us
just outside the gate-.such nice people. We love
Colonia. On to Montivideo tomorrow. Our hotel is
charming and the food we found at a small restaurant has
been exceptional. All our best.
-Bonnie
