Did this trip in February. To sum it up it consists of 11 hours in a minivan to visit three churches in Chiloe, none of them is interesting unless you are an academic interested in the technical details of wooden church building in the mid 19th century. However good the guides are (and our guide was excellent) this piece of Chile is not worth visiting. The drive to Castro in Chiloe island comprises a 70km motorway run to a ferry and then more than two hours driving along a scruffy, semi industrialised road with no redeeming features to Castro. On arrival the only logical question is "why bother". There are so many beautiful places in Chile I would suggest that people give this excursion a swerve and prevent the total waste of a day of their lives.

We took this tour last year. The guide doesn’t speak English at all, and keep repeating the same information over and over. They also don’t let you move and ask you to be next to them all the time. Amazing place but awful guide

Although trip started one hour later that schedule (no fault of the guide, I reckon), she was very knowledgeable and friendly. The information on the food items in the two markets we visited (fish and fruit), the very tasty lunch in a very homey environment/ the vistas of the city - all were provided in a very lovely spirit. I definitely enjoyed the few hours I spent with your guide.

We had a pleasure of Waldo being our tour guide driving and showing us around Valparaiso. We had 2 children that are still young, so flexibility of the schedule is a must and Waldo is very flexible and intuitive of our needs. He even prepared desserts, drinks, fruits, you name it, he brought them with him so we have a pleasant day through out the day, as most of the restaurants is still closed during Phase 2. He even brought our bags along and carried them securely,to prevent robbery. Thank you Waldo for being very patient with us and waited until we had great photo for our Instagrams. We really recommend him!

A country with a very special geography invites us to visit Valparaiso and viña del mar which will bring us closer to history 120 kilometers from the capital, passing through valleys which give us a vision of central Chile so your guide stop for your wine tasting , when we reach the coast we can see the real meaning of the port city of Valparaiso, the first foot of the history of Chile a whole landscape like a rainbow is a perception of something that calls the popular and traditional inmercion and then viña del mar that is a very different and very beautiful city, which reminds us of its first social group aristocracy that I inhabit the garden city as they call it now a great contrast between both cities exploring history and the miscelanio of the city of viña del mar as a citizen. we back to the city and we can drop off to you at the airport or to the hotel. REMEMBER THE GUIDE WILL BE WAITING AT THE PIER FOR YOU AND READY TO START THE ACTIVITY.

The Rapa Nui National Park is not cheap as we pay 54,000 Chilean Peso (80US $) per person. You have no choice, because you come to Easter Island to admire the impressive Moai statues. Easter Island is special and I am glad I saw it

Enjoyed the scenery, and culture within the community. It missed out on the 4 star review because the hygiene and service could be improved drastically. To further enhance improvements, I would recommend that this is fit for a family of 4, as it depends on your tour. The tour around the city is spetacular, but the wine tours need to be further enhanced. Anyways, I enjoyed most of the experience.
