Fantastic value for money. - Carlos was an excellent guide. He took the time and effort to ensure we saw everything on the itinerary and more. Nothing was rushed and he explained the history and culture in very good English. I booked the trip directly via their "best trip chile" website and the communication I received via whatsapp ensured I knew who was doing the tour, the pickup time and gave me a direct communication channel should any issue arise. Would highly recommend.
