Pride Travel is a gay owned and managed travel agency, based in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. We specialize into all destinations in Argentina, Uruguay, Brasil and Chile.
WIth 05 years of experience in the market and a long and well recognized career in the travel business, I, Carlos Melia - owner / manager - run
Pride Travel as a small Taylor Made business, offering my customers a
personalized and professional service, with the guarantee that most of the services/venues being promoted or offered have been previously tested
and chosen due to their commitment with service, excelence and
friendlyness.
Along, with our sister company Best Friendly Info.com we provide our
customer with detailed and up to date information about Destinations,
Hotels, Restaurants, Tours and much more that is going on in Buenos Aires and rest of the destinations. l .www.bestfriendlyinfo.com
Our offices located in the heart of the neighbourhood of Retiro, close to the main commercial area, hotels and touristic attractions, offer you a place where
you will find biligual and professional staff that will assist you on general
information (directions, magazines, maps), bookings (hotels, flights, tours, restaurants, events, shows... ), or just a place where you will feel like home, be assisted and taken care off.
Although we are a gay company we strongly believe that one of the main highlights of Buenos Aires is its mixed scene and open mind attitude, which we also adopt at Pride Travel, identifying ourselves as a Hetero Friendly company.
So if you are planning to come down our way, please do not hesitate to
contact us. You wont find packages or promotions into our website, since
we prefer to treat each customer as an independent person, learn and listen
to what type of experience they are looking for, and make it happend for them.
Contact Us. !!!! You wont be dissapointed.
Thank You, Carlos Melia.
