Unique experience - Mr. Mauricio, in charge of the route explained very well each step of the Maipo route, is a recommended tour. Did not place 5 as the restaurant is not the best choice, the prices are high and the quality of the food is not so good

In good hands - The tour had a last minute change, but the alternative was great! The guide (Pancho) was a good drive and a very nice guy. It could have been better if the agency gave a more detailed description of the stops, and optional expenses (meals and shops), mainly considering that the original plan had changed. But overall it was very good
