Praise - Excellent experience in Atacama! The agency was very organized, punctual and careful in every detail, which made all the difference during the tour. A special thanks to our guide **Isa**, extremely friendly, attentive and very competent. In addition to explaining everything clearly, made the ride light, interesting and very pleasant. And to David, our driver, always careful, kind and responsible throughout the journey. It was a special day, with amazing landscapes and a team that really contributed to making the experience even better. I recommend the agency and especially Isa and David. Professionals who make a difference! Thank you for the affection and excellent experience at Atacama!

Excellent service - Super recommend. Careful, polite, helpful and fun guides. Very good food. All perfect. I did other tours besides the Salar Route, and it was always great. Guides Francisco, Felipe, and Victoria are very cool. Everyone creates a group to coordinate the exits for the events, they are always punctual.

Great agency in Atacama. - Excellent agency in Atacama. I booked several tours and in all was super organized, creating group before to notice schedule and organize pickup. The guides are excellent and lively and the cafes, snacks and lunches are excellent as well.

high altitudes, wonderful views - We were picked up from our Hostel at around 7am. From there, we were taken on an amazing journey into the mountains and the salt flats! Our guide was engaging, always pointing out interesting features and wildlife, and providing advice for dealing with altitude sickness. Our driver was also a true professional! Breakfast and lunch were both delicious. I would say that you definitely should save this tour for later in your trip, to allow for some time to acclimatize to the altitude. My girlfriend and I were able to deal with it, driving from Antofagasta and only arriving in San Pedro the previous evening, though your mileage may vary. Overall, an engaging and breathtaking tour!

100% Recommended - I took this tour with my boyfriend and it was absolutely wonderful. The guide, Anita, was very nice and kind and they took us to see magnificent landscapes. The tour included breakfast and lunch, both absolutely delicious. The driver also cooked some scrambled eggs for breakfast and meatballs for dinner. An incredible experience because of the landscapes, the food, and the good company

Amazing experience! - Amazing experience!! The landscapes formed by mountains, volcanoes and snow are wonderful. The only problem is not having bathrooms on the way. Our guide Christoffer and the driver Ronald were very careful and enriched the tour with various information.

Beautiful tour with energetic guide and breakfast in the desert - A pleasant trip, thanks in part to the guide who knew a lot to tell in both English and Spanish and played nice music. It was very cold, so having breakfast outside was a challenge, but the view was beautiful!
