Wonderful experience! - We decided to take all the tours offered by the agency and it was certainly the best decision of our trip. Each tour was full of learnings, unique landscapes and moments that really mark. Nico and Nicol stand out not only for their great knowledge of the place and its history, but also for the closeness, confidence and dedication with which they accompany each tour. They make one feel comfortable, safe and connected to the environment at all times. It is not only tourism, it is a human and enriching experience, where you can see the love and respect for culture and place. We recommend this agency in closed eyes and would definitely choose them again.

A beautiful experience! - I share my experience with the Nico2🫶🏻 From the moment I contacted the agency by wtsp the attention was 10000/10 It was a totally personalized attention and very concerned that we had the best experience on the Island. Once the first day of the tour has arrived, we confirm your human quality and service. It should be noted that this attention was maintained during the 3 days of tour... Therefore, I recommend them! Greetings and affections from Iquique!, we hope to return💖🤗

Amazing experience 🌺 - Very grateful for the experience with the NCP agency 🌺✨. From the beginning, they welcome you with necklaces and take you for a walk around the island 🌴🌊 and to eat pineapples 🍍. It was very warm the reception of Julito Lavadoras, who always had the willingness to come and find us with my family whenever we needed it 🚐🤍. They also gave us tips on places to go to eat 🍽️✨. Our guide Nico explained everything to us perfectly and took some amazing pictures 🙌🗿📸. Nicole also accompanied us at the end with a lot of patience, as my mom walked a little slower 🤍✨. I knew Rapa Nui was a beautiful place, but I left with something much bigger than that: understanding its culture 💛🌿. I recommend this agency 100%, as together with my family they made us live an unforgettable experience 💐✨. Also, we had the facility to stay together in very comfortable cabins, next to each other, in the same place 🏡🌈. And to close, we were fired at the airport with a nice necklace 🌸✈️🤍. We certainly want to repeat this family experience again.” Maururu 🌺

More than a tour, it is a living experience in Rapa Nui - Living Rapa Nui through the NCP tourism agency was a simply wonderful experience 🌊🌿. Each tour was full of sense, respect and love for the island, but without a doubt what makes the difference is the passion and enthusiasm with which your guide, Nico, shares the Rapanui culture. It not only explains, but conveys history, identity and pride, making each place come alive and meaningful. You can tell when someone deeply loves what they do, and here you can feel that in every word, in every story and every moment of the journey. Thank you for an authentic, enriching and unforgettable experience.

Excellent - We would like to deeply thank you for the wonderful experience we have. It was an unforgettable trip for all our family. The guides behaved incredibly well, always with a friendly, close and very professional attitude. They solved each of our doubts with great patience and willingness. We traveled with girls and they were always very attentive to them, answering all their questions and making them feel an important part of the experience. That is highly valued as a family. The places we visited were simply beautiful, but certainly what made the difference was the human quality of the team: their willingness, energy and commitment made everything very pleasant. Thank you so much to the guys for their dedication and doing their job so well. Hopefully they will always follow that same style of guide, because it really was an unforgettable experience.
