Great Fun and Lots to see! - It was a greatly personal (of 3 pax) day trip hosted by Andres, our guide. He was very knowledgeable and has plenty of stories to tell us. The pace was perfect, slow and absolutely not in a hurry (like some of the other tour groups we saw). We were provided with a delicious sandwich for lunch and later a nice picnic spread of cheese, cured meat, crackers and fruits to go with our wine. Andres is who you'll want to take you on this. The sights were amazing! We enjoyed ourselves very much.

Don't miss this - worth 10 stars 🌟 - Would like to put 10 stars if possible, this was an absolutely amazing experience, so well organized and our guide André Riquelme is outstanding! He possesses impressive knowledge of the mountains, their flora and fauna. In addition, André talked about Chile, its history and the present. We learned so much! André is like a living Wilipedia and you can talk to him about everything, film, music 🎶 mm. All in fantastic English! The lunch was generous and delicious and in the end we were surprised by a small luxury picnic with vid and local treats. We can really recommend this excursion and especially year wonderful guide André!

CAJON DEL MAIPO. LAGOON DAY - Unbeatable. The excursion and the scenery are already unique and it is exciting to be able to feel surrounded by such a majestic place; this, together with our guide, Andrés, turned our experience into something unforgettable. Very grateful to Andrés for his magnificent attitude, his helpfulness, willingness and passion when it comes to accompanying us and explaining in such a professional and close way the fauna, flora and history of each place we traveled. Highly recommended

Thanksgiving to Guide Andres - I would like to leave my gratitude to the Guide Andres who is a super friendly person, humble, has a knowledge of the region of cajon del maipo very large. It was giving us information about the region of Santiago from the beginning of the tour and at the time of the snack in cajon del maipo took us to a place with a beautiful landscape so that me and my girlfriend could enjoy a super special picnic! It was amazing the tour, even more amazing because we had him as our Guide to guide us

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.
