The tour was fantastic. Very nice viewpoints and you took a lot of time. Our guide was very polite, courteous and funny. Can be recommended to everyone. The only small deduction point. Our guide still has to learn a bit of his English, but it worked fine. Thanks for the great tour…

The guide, as she told us she was called “the crazy one”, was an excellent partner, providing information about the history of Chile, as well as answering all the questions asked. Very fun and high spirits. Congratulations on the school of the professional who kept us company.

A beautiful experience. Starting from the good vibes of Yuri and Carlitos to the proposal itself. Maybe it would be good to clarify the issue of the schedule better, since it says 12 hours long but it was less extensive. But only for people's organization.

Well worth the distance, beautiful Lira and experience. You breathe peace. Nano was our Guide, very patient, informative and helpful.

The place is incredible with a wonderful view! The driver Mário was very friendly
