Santiago Explorer Tour Reviews
Guest reviews from travelers on Explorer tours in and around Santiago
Kimberly G | Traveled in July
A fantastic trip to a unique part of the world. It wasn't and "easy" trip - travelling vs. a vacation. It took me out of my comfort zone and made me see the worked in a different light. Travelling to such a unique part of the world was and honour and I look forward to my next G Adventure.
Anna M | Traveled in February
This journey felt significantly longer than its actual duration—in the best possible way! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment, appreciating both the wonderful group and the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia. What I valued most was the ability to fully embrace the experience without the need for planning or decision-making. Every detail was so well taken care of that I could completely relax and immerse myself in the beauty of Patagonia without any concerns.
Heather C | Traveled in February
I would highly recommend our recent trip to Peru and to Bolivia, along the Southern Divide in South America, going from Lima to Santiago. We enjoyed making our journey with our multi-aged and multi-national fellow travellers. Highlights of our trip included: riding the old-fashioned trains of Peru Rail to the start of the Inca Trail, viewing the beauty of Machu Pichu, climbing Rainbow Mountain, exploring colonial Sucre, taking photos on the Salt Flats near Uyuni, crossing the Bolivian desert in a 4X4, seeing live volcanos and geysers and lots of wildlife (e.g., llamas, alpacas, guanacos, vicuanas and vizcachas) in the wild.
Douglas A | Traveled in February
Lima and Santiago bookended this trip. The small cities and towns we visited were more to my taste. La Paz was special in part because of a very good city tour largely on the cable card.
Susan S | Traveled in February
This Patagonia experience exceeded all of my expectations and it had been on my bucket list for years. The combination of activities with the deluxe food and accommodation was over the top.
