The booking porocess was easy, and customer service was responsive. I contacted 4 companies about the tour I was interested in. Two of the companies I contacted didn't answer me at all. One of them was basically a chatbot that said "do it yourself." Only bookmundi had human agents to help.

We spent a lot of time -3 days in flying /driving-wonder if this could be reduced as we were already driving for sightseeing.
While most of the Hotel we stayed were good,the Best Western in Puerto Natales was very cramped and had no lift.There was nothing nearby for Food options or shopping and while the view was good and the place quiet,it was far removed from downtown for activities or even just browsing.The hotel's resturant was closed for Easter Sunday and we were forced to go downtown for food.I would certain recommend looking at other options.
