Awesome tour! Book it! - Martin was an excellent guide who shared a lot of interesting information about the Elqui Valley. He even added a stop at a winery upon our request. Highly recommend this scenic day!

Great all round tour through stunning scenery - Our guide was very professional and went out of her way to ensure that as the only English speakers in the group that we didn't miss out on any of the information. The stop off points were interesting and the lunch was also great. Our only criticism would be that we travelled through a lot of incredible scenery, and as a nature lover it would have been a much better tour if we were able to stop and take some of it in. It seemed a shame to drive by so much beauty and not be able to fully appreciate it.
