About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- N4310KDjodied0 contributionsA great day to see history with Rose and AntonioRose was a very knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly guide. We went to many places that we wouldn't have known about otherwise, with very important history which was well translated to us by Rose. Antonio was a great driver and was very friendly as well. Thank you Rose and Antonio for a great day and tour 😊Written 7 December 2024
- h60233930 contributionsDisappointing and deceptive tour!!!It was always rushing ever since pickup. When we arrived there, the tour guide told us to follow him in a hurry way. He didn’t allow much time for us to take pictures, nor explained much when we were walking. Always rushing to the next stop. Afterwards, when we reached the beach area, all of we were brought to an expansive restaurant to eat, without other options to choice, which wasn’t mention in the itinerary. After lunch, only given 15 mins to take pictures at the beach, then we had to go back. The pickup was 7am, we came back to Santiago at 3 pm. It was just half day, not a full day tour.Written 5 December 2024
- GrandTour265624948440 contributionsVery goodThe guide and driver were very nice and informative. I got injured the night before the tour and they rescheduled me without any fuss. The tour was amazing. The mini zoo at the food stop was also entertaining.Written 2 December 2024
- oldies201620160 contributionsSpectacular views but expensive and a big issue with toiletsGuide Rose was professional and informative, and driver Raphael drove safely. Spectacular view of Aconcagua and Inca Bridge and spectacular drive up the 27 switchbacks. We were glad we did it but expensive. Major problem is lack of toilet at Aconcagua Park; this is not acceptable and although not the fault of the tour company needs to be managed with advice and stops before and after.Written 1 December 2024
- OnAir388439159490 contributionsWorst day… they didn’t bother to pick me up and didn’t call to say they’ve cancelled. They wouldn’t pick pick up my callThis must be the worst company I have ever come across. I booked through TripAdvisor I waited from 5.50 - 7.30 for 6 am pick up, they never came, no message . I tried calling , the apartment management tried calling but they didn’t answer. Later in the morning I got a message from Tripadvisor that they’ve requested a refund . Well I still haven’t got it and I didn’t ask for a refund I wanted the tour.Written 24 November 2024

Rocio, our tour guide, was fantastic and knowledgable of the area. She spoke in Spanish, Portuguese and English.

- Compass287642748950 contributionsWay foo much time spent on bus for a short one day tip to MonserratWe booked our day trip with allegrit for72 euros each. After 2 hours we are still picking up travellers at various locations along the coastline. I guess it will be the same on the return trip. I would say this will not be too far short of half the trip spent on the bus. I hope monserat will be worth it when we get there eventually. Time spent on bus is ridiclous on a day trip which isnt that far from our set off pointWritten 27 September 2024
- Compass361214617700 contributionsAwf6 experienceit was a terrible experience with this company , they don't allow questions, because if you do, they answer you in a disricpeful way , they will give you , just orders, no even close to a nice attention, I doubt of years of experience said they have... after i pay the bill for my tour , i asked normal snd regulars question about zhe time of pint to pick the customers , and after i ask forbthe policies of the company, they told me to vsncel my tour snd give me the money back, if they make the service like thry threat thr customers, must be a nightmare, shame on themWritten 4 September 2024
- Aleksandr S0 contributionsGreat trip to Valparaiso and Pacific coastHad a great trip to Valparaiso, well organized. Our guide Rocio spoke three languages, very positive and did her best to make everyone comfortable, gave interesting information about the places we visited and about the country!Written 27 August 2024
- teresaaJ1752GQ0 contributionsSamoan in ChileHighly recommended - in safe capable hands of Claudio our skilled driver with the super organised, full of energy, trilingual (Espanol, Portugese, English) star Rocio! AAA+++ Variety on this tour, nature, animals, history and options for food. Hire the boots/ski pants if going in winter, value for money. If i had time and both Claudio and Rocio were the driver/guide i would book again.Written 14 July 2024
- alexhB8201BR0 contributionsUnprofessional, rude, unreliablePick up was supposed to be at 6 am and it ended up being at 10 am. No response from the company’s contact. If you have the option to book from somewhere else do so because you may end up not going like I did. TERRIBLE COMPANY!!!Written 30 June 2024
- Relax7352110 contributionsTERRIBLE - tour does not even existYou sold a tour that is not currently running. Booking confirmed the night before, we waited for an hour at 6am, to then call to say your is not even running at this time of year. Still waiting for my refund - terrible experience. DO NOT BOOK THIS TOURWritten 21 June 2024

DO NOT USE THIS TOUR COMPANY. Our tour was filled with problems
The tour was scheduled for 9am. The guide emailed new time to 8am. Then driver without guide shows up at 7:30 and asked we leave then to get the guide who didn’t show up prior to picking us up so we left our breakfasts to go with driver to get the guide.
Guide didn’t speak good English so we did not have good communication
Conversations between driver and guide in Spanish were about problems with other tour clients.
Guide was reading facts from a notebook as he didn’t know.
Guide didn’t know the area of Valparaiso that we wanted to see and got lost when we walked and could tell us nothing about the the areas that are the most interesting sights in Valparaiso and was asking people where things were. Used google a lot.
Our Driver who was very good and knew the city had to step in and told the driver not to speak, and lead the tour in Spanish and I translated for my daughter without her the tour would have been a total waste of time our driver did try to make it better
But we had no conversation the entire 2.5 hour ride back to our hotel.
All in all not worth the $$ I paid and a very poor experience
I contacted the tour operator with the above message and his response meant to be an apology made no sense.
He said “ as a TAC agency, we apologize because you are absolutely right., the manager was told something wrong and someone
From our staff gave the response on behalf of management and the agency in general.. I apologize most sincerely “
He offered us another tour in Santiago which we had already left and would not be returning.
The response addressed none of the problems we brought up. Specifically the language issues and the tour guide did not know the city the tour was supposed to be about and that he got lost .
Worst tour of all my traveling days. I really feel the tour price should be refunded as it was not as described.

Bueno ya conocemos su caso, no quiso disfrutar el tour en ningún momento, no quiso parar en ningún lado y las partes que quería parar no correspondía o eran en partes prohibidas, trato mal e insulto al guía en todo momento siempre fue una persona muy mal educada con el equipo que la llevo personas así no deberían tomar tour ya hizo una opinión anterior con otra explicación osea tratar de justificar una cosa que es INACEPTABLE de tratar mal a una persona que está haciendo su trabajo NO TIENE aceptación el guía y la conductora hicieron todo el tour como correspondía y la aguantaron todo el día, para la otra no tome más Tours porque realmente es una persona muy MAL EDUCADA y GROSERA.
Nota: Tenemos audios en el cual sale gritando y tratando mal al guía.
La gira se hizo completa si no quiso disfrutar el tour ya no es culpa de nosotros por lo cual devolución no podemos hacer, que tenga un muy lindo y buen día Sra.

Hello, we had to cancel the tour due to the storm that occurred and some canals were flooded, which is why the tour could not be carried out properly.

A good tour with lots of information and attention from the guide Felipe Risso and Driver Vitor "Toreto". It's a shame that there's little time to visit the beach, but it's a good trip.
