You must visit Elqui Valley - We had an absolutely lovely time. Our guide Valeska was very knowledgeable and friendly, with amazing English translation for the few English speakers on the tour. All the stops were worth it and would highly recommend. Big props to our driver Gustavo as well, for the good and smooth driving.

An excellent day in the Elqui Valley - We found this tour really interesting and varied. Beautiful scenery, winery’s, lovely mountain villages, history and pisco! Our tour guide Matteus ( not sure of spelling) was excellent. He was very well informed about every aspect of the tour and was also fun and attentive to the the groups’ needs. We highly recommend this tour with Ecotours La Serena.

Beautiful trip through mighty valley - It is a beautiful trip with beautiful views over very beautiful landscapes. The tastings were meagre. The guide, Xavier, was a disaster: he talked continuously about aliens, UFOs, chakra, magnetic fields, vibes and meditation and gave little practical information.

Entertaining Elqui Valley Tour - They gave me an hour of pickup for the Elqui Valley Tour and the day of the Tour they called me about 40 minutes before they were about to pick me up, in the end they agreed that another vehicle would pick me up, unpleasant setback, I went with another group, and it was for the better, entertaining tour thanks to the Guide Mauricio Inda, made us laugh all the time together with the very well explained reviews of each place visited, and good thing, I had a nice memory, with photos and recordings. My congratulations to the tourist company for their excellent guide Mauricio Inda.

Full day valley of elqui - The tour with guide Valeska and driver Alejandra was excellent, she manages perfect English and delivers key data in every place we pass, very well managed times and the whole itinerary was fulfilled. Also, we were touched by a traveler who was in a wheelchair and were super attentive and considerate with this. It was not a 5 as from the agency we were told a pickup time from the hostel an hour after they actually went, which made us leave just in time.
