Chile National Parks Tour

This tour was excellent in delivering all of the different types of landscape and natural beauty of such a large and diverse beautiful country. Obviously to cover all of this there needs to be long days and early starts but this is clear when booking and absolutely worth it. The tour leader Andre was outstanding. Would highly recommend this tour, we had a fantastic time.

Lots of flights to get to north & south Chile. The itinerary was good. For me Torres del Paine was the highlight. The hotel & location was excellent. I would have liked one more day. Our guide Andres was attentive and went out of his way to make our trip enjoyable. Local guides were also very good with a good level of spoken English. Overall a very good trip. Highly recommended.

As advertised, this trip is hectic. Little time to stop and reflect Not all the locations are equally appealing, or necessary it seems to me eg Puerto Montt. Even so my trip was an extremely well organised whizz through a spectacular country. The landscapes in Atacama and the Paine national park are astounding. For those who like birds and wildlife it is wonderful. The Andes are a sight to behold. So it you are content to take the travel pain for the sake of a glimpse of a spectacular country, then go for it. I was. Despite drawbacks I don't regret it.

The Explore leader was amazing and always went the extra mile in giving us information as well as extra cultural experiences. She is a natural leader who is well respected amongst her colleagues. We were in capable hands.

Many aspects of this trip were most enjoyable, and Luciano, our guide, went out of his way to ensure we had a positive experience. Most of the accommodation was good, but Explore should find another option in Santiago. The Fundador in Santiago is a bit 'tired'. Also, there should be alternative activities in case the weather in Patagonia makes it impossible to follow the itinerary. But in general it was a most enjoyable trip!

Fabulous group leadeŕ. Lu did an incredible job despite some fellow passengers having ridiculous demands. She coped professionally and very well with it all. Friendly, knowledgeable guide. Chile is such a beautiful country with such contrasting landscapes. I will never forget this trip. Loved being back in Torres del Paine again one of my favourite places
