One tour you must try - The entire tour was a great experience, lots of activities and sites to see and the food was amazing! Although the majority of the tour was in Spanish, the tour guides still tried their best to translate in English so that we would understand.

It was a great day - We were very sorry to hear that we could not go to Ballestas because of our flight time, but our tour leader, Jean Paul, suggested that we had a great time with Pucu Te too. It was amazing to see penguins so close up. Afterward, sandboarding in the desert and bugging around the desert were great. Plus, Jean Paul and our driver were quite positive and we couldn’t see how time went through the day. Thank you!

Great trip! - We had a great experience working with Jean Paul to plan our tour and with Manuel on the tour. Manuel was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and was so nice and fun to talk with. Our tour got adjusted at the last minute due to the rough seas, but Jean Paul and Manuel were great at communicating the changes and ensured that we were still going to get a great experience with lifelong memories. The experience overall was great!
