All very nice. - The tour was amazing, our driver / guide Juan very friendly and attentive. Everything went as planned. The places visited were amazing. With a visit to a chocolate factory and a picnic with toast at the end of the tour. The only inconvenience was that the air conditioning of the van blew and ended up getting warm at the end of the ride inside the car. But the package itself is very good, I recommend.

An amazing experience! - We loved this tour! Along the way you can see the imposing mountains. Interesting stops are made, both for coffee, going to the bathroom, points of interest of the area, lunch, and obviously the beautiful reservoir. Wonderful! It's really awesome. Finally, we close the afternoon with a toast. The timing of each stop seemed right. Our guide driver, Claudio, a genius! He communicated with us the night before, punctual, super attentive to the group and with very good vibe and energy. Without a doubt super recommend this walk.

Cajón del Maipo - The trip has been very interesting. Claudio is a good driver and very on time. The views are fantastic. It is not very clear in the offer that the meal is not included. All in all, this is an interesting round trip. T Jaime

Not recommended - There are very few explanations in the route and route; it does not seem that the guide is professional and well informed of the history and relevant data of the Maipo Cajon. On the other hand he was speeding in the city.

Beautiful destination but chose a different company to go there - I would give the destination 5 stars. And the driver/guide also 5 stars for really putting in a lot of effort to be friendly and keep an eye on all of us. My review has nothing to do with him, just the company. First, the start time is listed as 7am but we were told the night before we’d be picked up at 6am. We were the first of 8 hotel stops and spent over an hour in the van just picking up people. The listing says max 13 people but it was 17 plus the guide. Everyone was squeezed into the van like sardines. The itinerary does not match the online description AT ALL. Too much time was spent at a roadside cantina getting “breakfast” (that part was in the listing actually) and over an hour at the worst restaurant I’ve eaten at in a long time. And super expensive. We also spent an hour on the shore of one part of the reservoir. It was beautiful but most people were unhappy we were there for an hour. Be advised there is no bathroom for 4+ hours so that’s part of the reason we were all eager to leave. The photo of the “picnic” by the beautiful blue water is FAKE. That does not happen. The picnic was Doritos and Lays potato chips in the parking lot back at the roadside cantina where we first stopped. But we had to sit in the van for 15 minutes waiting for the previous group, also from the same company, to finish their picnic first. That was extremely disappointing and I was pretty annoyed by the false advertising. I would definitely recommend this excursion, just with a different company
