[cruisetravel]

We will be on Crystal in S America this December. Would greatly appreciate input on the following:

1.Any recommendation for car service in Sao Paulo?

2.Any recommendation for car service or private tour guide in Buenos Aires?

3.Any specific restaurants or recommendations for the above 2 cities?

4.Any suggestion where to store suitcases for the day in Buenos Aires?

Thanks!!!

I have heard that the traffic is so bad in Sao Paolo that many get around the city by helicopter, and that most of the buildings have helipads.

If you have a Starwood Preferred Guest status, or other affinity membership, you might contact the Sheraton to ask about this. If you have a Platinum card, you might see if their concierge can arrange something at one of their preferred hotels.

We too have a wonderful private guide. He is well educated, friendly, and knowledgeable. I am not sure if I can post his contact info here, so email me if you want it.

We had great success with Claudio Velez in Buenos Aires in 2006 when there on a Crystal Cruise. He was very knowledgeable, personable and helpful and having lived in Boston speaks standard American English. I see he now has a web site: http://www.private-toursba.com.ar/Home%20ingles.html
