Tour was very interesting and informative. Our guide Nelly was personable and did a nice job informing us of some of the history and culture of Chiloe. The local crafts market at Dalcahue was fabulous. I didn’t eat the family restaurant meal because my stomach was not great but I would recommend partaking. It is not included in tour cost but a very good value and looked fantastic.

We enjoyed the tour and the guide Javier is excellent. Main issues for us were the fact that we had to pay each individual attraction separately so it added a substantial cost to the tour; and the lunch stop was at the cheapest and probably worst restaurant around (not to mention too long). The driving was also a bit odd.

Great excursion, the park was beautiful, the boat on Lake Esmeralda was wonderful, and the climb up the volcano was breathtaking!! All with a good pace that often allowed us to get ahead of the other tourist buses and thus find ourselves almost alone in these magnificent places!

It was a unique experience. A bit exhausting and unfortunately the weather wasn't quite what we would have liked :-) The organization was great!!!
