Santiago Tours in July 2027

Impossible to get through on the phone to Gadventures prior to departure in Australia. But I got into trouble in Chile and support from Gadventures was fantastic. 2 more things done from my bucket list?thank you.

This was my second tour with this operator and I had a great time. Vanessa is a terrific tour guide. She is always willing to help you with pictures, and she makes sure to point at and explain important things during the tour. I am into hiking, therefore I truly enjoyed walking around el Embalse for almost two hours. While we enjoyed the views of El Embalse, Vanessa set up a lovely lunch table. Our lunch included a delicious lunch, red wine, juices and snacks. Vanessa talks to everyone in the group, she can do this easily because she speaks Spanish, English, Portuguese (probably more, but these were the languages our group spoke). On our way back we stopped to take pictures and we got to see the majestic condors flying. The van ride is long, but the groups are small so you get to chat with other travelers. And the snow-covered mountains, the sky, the clouds, the afternoon, all make it a worthwhile tour. Vanessa, gracias for a lovely day.

The destination was beautiful, the tour got us there before the Sunday crowd and avoided getting stuck in the car mess. The english speaking guide was helpful and friendly. The wine was good, the brunch is more like finger food than a whole meal, but they gave us more food on the way back. The negative point is that they stopped to a boot hiring shop and advised us that our hiking shoes would not have been good enought, so we hired boots with an extra cost. However in this season, winter on a sunny day, our hiking boots would have done the job as there was very little mud and snow on the easy trail, and the hired boots where not that great. We trusted our guides and we felt mislead.
