The Guide could consider the Brazilians who were on the tour. - Good tour, but the Guide did not speak Portuguese, as informed in the purchase. A pity, pq my daughter lost a lot of information about the places visited.

Improved points of support offered to tourists - The Van was very dirty Pic nic wasn't in the pic nic style. It's a table, everybody standing around. The bathrooms of the site breakfast look bad and the place of the stop where the bathroom is paid seems an improvisation. It is worth noting that the driver and the Guide are very friendly and has knowledge of the ride and its route.

Awful experience - This was probably the worst tour we’ve ever taken. I have to say ahead of time that the reservoir js absolutely a wonderful place to visit. We enjoyed our hike there. It’s worthy of mention that we never went to half of the stops on the tour! Cajon Del Maipo dam and lagoon was nice but the only other place we made it to (besides the place to buy breakfast and rent gear) was the Casa de Chocolat. The other stops were never made. Our tour guide brought her child to work this day (and by the child’s relationship with a driver this was something that happened quite often) and, in fact, the tour guide left early and the driver took us all back to our hotels without explanation other than she had things she needed to go do. The tour equated to a few hours in the van that were more dedicated to the needs of the child. The cabin was filled with her music and her video games and there was no valuable interaction with the passengers aside from a few facts here and there. The experience in the van was also terrible. The driver was the worst we ever encountered. Red lights and stop signs were run and unsafe speed was maintained most of the time and we weaved in and out of traffic. There were several maintenance items needing attention in the van as well; it was filthy inside and out with litter strewn across the dashboard and dirt everywhere. We were grateful that the van actually made the trip as the climb to Cajon Del Maipo is treacherous. If this is the best that this particular tour company can offer, I would make recommendation that Viator stops dealing with them entirely. As an afternote, we went back to see what we had paid for this tour as we didn’t initially pay attention to that. It was less expensive than the other tours. We got about what we paid for if we would have taken an Uber.
