This was such a great excursion! The weather had canceled the trips the day before so we were so lucky to be able to go. They spent time on the boat ride over giving us lots of information about the penguins and their nests. What a cool lifetime experience!

Pablo was a great guide, he was knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information. He was trying to guide using 3 different languages so he was very busy going from group to group to repeat details. He did a great job at this except on the bus as he was at the front and we were at the back. The late breakfast was fantastic. Nicely set out on a table with a mountain view. Fresh scrambled eggs and coffee were prepared as well as breads, jams, fruit, meat and cheese. It was really great. The biggest downfall of this trip was the driver. He was driving way too fast for the (washboard) road conditions and we did not feel like he was always in control. We have him clocked at doing 87MPH. I said to another in the group that on the way out I felt like there were a few times that all 4 tires were off the ground, and their response was "I think you are right". On the return trip at one point the big travel van actually slid around a corner towards the huge cliff. Everyone gasped. I don't stress easy in a vehicle but I definitely felt unsafe with this driver.

The boat was comfortable with a good guide. We had beautiful weather but the boat is ready for days that aren’t as nice if you run into them. The island is literally packed with penguins and birds making for endless amazing photo opportunities. Once back onboard they offer coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cookies. No, it isn’t gourmet by any means but still is nice. After this, a quick trip over to see a large colony of sea lions to take photos before the trip home. I wanted to specifically shout out captain Fernando. He gave my daughter a penguin stuffed animal and let her and me take photos driving the boat which was amazing. He was incredibly kind and went above and beyond for us. We are very grateful.

It was worth it , the ship was in good conditions, I expected to be able to reach and walk in the glaciar but since it has reatreated we couldn´t get that cloese but the experience was good and the food in lunch was good

It was a wonderful hike to a beautiful place. María Jesús, our guide, was very knowledgeable, engaging and kind and made 39,000 steps fly by! Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting TdP.

We enjoyed our tour through the old city in Valparaíso, and felt our guide did a good job of setting pace while still showing us striking views, interesting historical buildings, and telling us about the town's history. When it came to the Viňa del Mar portion of the day, however, we felt very short-changed. We had lunch at a nice restaurant, and then made one stop near the beach and one more to see one of the Easter Island statues in town. Nothing else. We had expectations, based on the tour description, of seeing lots of gardens, parks, etc. We did not, which was disappointing. In general, we learned a few things, enjoyed our newly-met travel companions, but the tour, especially after lunch, felt rushed and without plan.

Ricardo & Hugo were the best guides we could have asked for! They were knowledgeable, kind, adaptive for everyone in the group and really helped us see a glimpse into Chilean culture. They set a great pace that was manageable for all parties and checked in on everyone physically many times throughout the hike. Would HIGHLY recommend people to use this company & even request Ricardo and Hugo. The excursion was appropriately priced, there was good communication before pickup, and our guides had great energy. Such a fun day!

It was a pleasant experience all around with my family. There was enough time on the island with the penguins, and you got to see them up close. They even crossed the path in front of you!

Nice trip. Beautiful glaciers and we got to see Andean Condors. The guide was difficult to hear over the intercoms and on the walk to the glacier base. Overall, it was worthwhile

Departing Santiago Chile SCL airport was highly disagreeable. Aside from having our passport and boarding pass checked five separate times, we underwent a confiscation never experienced in years of worldwide travel. After passing through security, we stopped by the large store Britt Chile to spend our remaining Chilean pesos. We purchased 2 Pisco Capel Sour 14% 700 cc bottles and went to the gate for our Latam/Delta flight to LAX. After our boarding passes were scanned, we proceeded down the jet bridge where Latam employees made each passenger open their carry-ons. At that point, they confiscated the two bottles I had purchased just a half hour earlier, claiming US regulations required all bottles to be in a sealed bag with a receipt. I showed the receipt from the just purchased items, to no avail. Other passengers had their water and soft drinks confiscated. The confiscated items were filling up a shelf on the walkway. Latam and SCL airport management are delinquent in (a) allowing vendors to sell liquids after security clearance, (b) failing to provide sealed bags for all liquids (c) using poor judgment in penalizing passengers for not posting a sign after security "If traveling internationally, DO NOT BUY ANY LIQUIDS." Until resolved, this experience should put Latam and the SCL Airport on all travelers’ Do Not Fly list.

This was an absolutely wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it. The weather was cold and windy but we were warm on the boat and the sun warmed us on our walk to the lighthouse. The penguins were so over the top cute. We only saw the males because of the season but they were precious. The tour company was great - it was an easy meet-up and the guide spoke Spanish and English. Everyone was friendly and wanted you to have the best time. Oh! And the sea lion colony was a sight to see too! Definitely book this experience.

The tour guide, Rene, was affable and knowledgeable about the history of Chile and the native people. Between visits to wineries, we especially enjoyed the trip to the museum, which is a treasure the larger population may miss because of its location 3 hours south of the largest city, Santiago. The wineries were magnificent in their ambience and character, while the tastings were enough to justify Chile’s position as a tour de force in winemaking!

This was a very special experience. The moai were powerful and the opportunities to see and experience the culture were exceptional. The Kari Kari dance troupe was NOT a gentle hula. It was an athletic, artistic performance that was presented with a genuine warmth. In every way we felt welcomed to this island and left feeling enriched. The museum has a well presented collection that was a great place to start as we began our time on Rapa Nui. It provided valuable information and context for the people and culture on the island.

I went with a group for the tour. The second stop was the tastings. The wines were good but the ones I like require to store for 11 to 15 years. We also did not try the best wines that included the diablo portion. I did like the origins of the diablo. This should have occurred before doing wine tasting.

Collected at the hotel by nelson our guide. Great English speaker and a native of the island. Very knowledgeable and very passionate about the beautiful island of rapa nui and it's culture. Had an amazing dinner which is included in the price and ended the day on the beautiful anakena beach
