Chile Group Tours

The itinerary is excellent. Tough walks due to the steep and rocky terrain but well rewarded by the scenery and sense of achievement. The accommodation was some of the best I have had with Explore - great location, clean and comfortable, staff all friendly and helpful. Delicious food. Gluten free diet catered for very well. Above all,, our tour leader, Duane, really made this trip. Professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, approachable and fun … he worked so hard to make sure everyone enjoyed the week. Thanks Duane!

Accomodation on the ship and the two hotels one in Ushuaia and one in Buenos Aires were excellent. The Antarctica experience was magical from the landscape to the wildlife. The whole experience will live with us forever

Honestly, this trip to Chile was something else. I didn’t know what to expect going in, but wow — it blew me away. From city life to total wilderness to the most surreal desert I’ve ever seen… it had everything. Santiago totally surprised me. It’s got this cool energy. one minute you're walking past old colonial buildings next you’re sipping wine on a rooftop with views of the Andes. And the food? Next level. I was legit full the entire time. Then came Patagonia and I mean, come on. You see photos online, but being there? Completely different. Puerto Natales was the cutest little town, super chill with killer views, and it just felt so peaceful. And then you're surrounded by mountains that make you feel really, really small (in a good way). And just when I thought the trip had peaked, boom we’re in the Atacama Desert. I’ve never seen landscapes like that before. Moon Valley looked like Mars, no joke. The salt flats were insanely quiet and still, like the world paused for a second. And those mirror-like lagoons? Unreal. I took way too many pictures. The whole thing was smooth — flights, guides, hotels — didn’t have to think about a thing. If you want a trip that’s equal parts adventure, nature, and just pure “whoa,” this one’s it. I came back with full camera storage and even fuller memories.

All the highlights, beautiful - enjoyed every place we experienced. The dinners prepared by local families in their homes were incredible. Tango experience unforgettable. Saw lots of wildlife. Top notch guide (makes all the difference) local guides exceptional as well. Travelled many places but the entire trip we were surrounded by incredible beauty everywhere we went. Food was excellent as was our lodging. Lucky to see Patagonia and all her glory.

Awe inspiring landscapes, good activities. It covers a very large area and so unavoidably involves a lot of flights and early mornings. Where else do you get breathtaking mountains, glaciers, fjords and penguins! Hotels with one exception were excellent. Fabulous travel director and informative guides.

I felt it had adequate activities and free time. I was surprised the 80 years old kept up. I felt some of the hikes were a little rushed. Since, the guides were the experts there must of been a reason to keep us on pace.
