Excellent experience in Valle Elqui - The tour was very entertaining. The driver Felipe knew the areas very well and was constantly talking to us and telling us things about where we went with tips among others. Very friendly and fantastic tastings. It is appreciated that there is a person who enjoys his work doing the tour.

Great Guide Wonderful Tour - Guide/Driver picked me up from my location even though there was a stated meeting point. This was wonderful. Guide was down to earth and had lots of experience. Guide was able to conduct tour in both English and Spanish. He spoke both well. He was able to keep everyone engaged and had a deep understanding of the area and the locations we visited. I wasn't expecting much out of this tour and it far exceeded my expectations as I normally use a different tour provider. We went to several sites including a reservoir, a wine production facility, a pisco mueseum and retailer, a historical site, a wonderful place for lunch and the city of Vicuna. He helped me understand the museum and the details of the Pisco business as the museum tour was in Spanish. I also wanted to point out the Guide did an excellent job driving. You are in the mountains and dealing with cross traffic, lane passing, sun, one lane bridges, etc. He was doing the job of two people. I highly recommend this guide and tour if you want to learn about the Elqui Valley.

Excellent tour and agency. - I made the tour to the valley of elqui, which for things of nature can not do another. Overall an excellent tour, meets expectations to the letter. The guide Felipe, delivered a lot of information in a very didactic and entertaining way. The tastings in the pisquera and in the vineyard were SENSATIONAL, lunch... It might be better, but it's tasty. I also want to highlight virtual business attention, always a quick response. Also highlight the attention in your agency (it has physical office) , Dennise attended me. His attention was very professional and very friendly, he gave me enough data to walk in the serene and helped me to accommodate the precise day to enjoy the activity. Overall a very good experience with Ecoturismo La serena. I will definitely be back for whale season.🐳

We all felt very happy. Lunch included was plenty and reasonable tasty. Can highly recommend this tour. We could not continue with the star watching because it was cloudy. Got our refund back same day. We felt we got more than expected and talked with the other people on the tour.

I would like to thank our... - I would like to thank our guide Felipe and our driver Maurizio for the lovely tour. Felipe was quite informative and translated accurately from spanish to english. Maurizio drove us safely back and forth. The tour was well organized. The lunch was delicious. Two small negative points: I was picked up later than the agreed time and also after the tour at the pisco museum, we were given just a drop of pisco. That was not generous. I would suggest going to another pisco factory in the future.

Elqui Valley Tour with the best, Ecoturismo La Serena. - Excellent day tour with Ecoturismo La Serena. We were joined by the guide Javier Barrios, who made the trip very entertaining with the driver. Exquisite lunch and a guided tour at all times. I recommend it 100%. The super comfortable bus and the best thing that happens to you to find and leave where you stay, would happily return to take another tour with Ecoturismo la Serena.
