5 star experience - Sebastian our tour guide was amazing. He's very knowledgeable about both the areas we visited and the geology and ecology. His experience served us well as we had to make alterations to our plan on the day due to snow and ended up having probably a better experience as a result as we went to places that weren't planned although very beautiful. Thank you so much for a 5 star experience!

Outstanding tour of Yeso and Maipo - Rai was an outstanding guide. Because he has been a guide elsewhere in Chile he gave us many tips on the others cities we were scheduled to visit. Probably the most outstanding part of the tour was the gourmet lunch he prepared for us. He was by far the best guide on our complete tour of Chile.

Thrilling hike, beautiful lake, fun time! - Our awesome, rock climbing, perfect English speaking, native Chilean guide picked us up at our hotel in his 4 wheel drive truck. He drove us to the outskirts of Santiago where we stopped at a roadside restaurant/ bar for coffee and breakfast. Next we drove to the base of the Andes. We went on a 3 hour hike up the mountains. It was just the 3 of us, blue sky and gorgeous mountains! We stopped for a picnic packed by the roadside restaurant. Delicious! After our climb down, we were driven to the man made lake Embalse de Yeso. The scene is exquisite! It was Monday and hardly any other people were there. Afterwards we returned to the same roadside restaurant for yummy empanadas and Chilean wine. Then back to our hotel. This day trip lasted about 12 hours. Our guide, Hernan, was precious! He taught us much about the culture of Santiago and Patagonia (his playground as a professional rock climber.) We would highly recommend this excursion. Bring hiking boots.

Great tour - Great value for money, wonderful site, and knowledgable guide. Hernan not only was able to explain the history and geology of the area but was patient and helpful throughout the entire tour. Highly recommend.

Nice Views - It was a wonderful trip. I liked the tour and the views were definitely were amazing. The only thing I did not like was the food. The sandwiches were not that great. Mai was an amazing tour guide and I really liked her. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and was very passionate about her job.
