Review of San Pedro de Atacama’s guided stargazing tour, with telescopes, hotel pickup, astronomy lessons, drinks, snacks, and photos.
“Overall, it was a nice experience. Easy pickup/drop off at my hotel. The guide, Patricio felt so knowledgeable about the subject of astronomy. Explained things is a way that anyone could understand whether they had experience or not. Served nice wine and/or warm drinks if you wanted. It was only available in Spanish, which was a little tough for a non-native speaker but I managed. The only reason I have 4 stars, is that it was a little bit inefficient- a lot of time was spent trying to take a picture of people with the sky as a background. Pics were great but everyone seemed to crowd around the camera…”

Review of HecTourService’s private Santiago day trip to Valparaiso and Viña del Mar, with wine country views, street art, Moai, and local guides.
“This was a private tour from Santiago. We spent 90% of our time in Valparaiso and very little in Vina del Mar, which is a good thing because Valparaiso is, by far, the most interesting area. We also spent most of our time on foot, which is also a good thing. This is a city that must be walked. We also had an interesting dining experience with our guide, which was extra, but also added to the experience.”
Review of the Osorno Volcano and Petrohué Falls tour from Puerto Montt, with costs, itinerary, guide tips, extra fees, and advice on who should book.
“Our guide Jenny was very nice and knowledgeable. she made sure we left in time for each activity. incredibly nice places and the boat ride with the Osorno volcano as a backdrop was very nice. however, due to the several stops we had only 1 hour at the volcano. so there was no time to hike around but it was amazing when we reached the highest accessibile point of the volcano. we did get to touch some ice eventhough it was summer.”
Review of San Pedro de Atacama’s 3-hour guided buggy tour, with desert dunes, salt mountains, remote stops, safety tips, and value advice.
“Juan was amazing, super friendly, funny and professional, and very knowledgeable. We had an incredible time and it was a fantastic way to wrap up our visit in the Atacama desert. we got to go to and see some places that other bigger tours don't and maybe can't go to. we learned a lot and had so much fun, riding the buggy is just awesome! 100% recommend 👌”

“David was a great guide number one on my list was to visit San Cristobal hill and we went up by trolley and down by cable car.
