Have a great day! - The scenery was beautiful, the hotel pickup super efficient. The Gabriel guide was bilingual in Portuguese and Spanish and made sure everyone understood. There was enough free time to take pictures. Yeah, good!

Highly recommended experience - Sebas is a very friendly and cultured guy, he answered all the questions I asked him about his country. The trip was enjoyable and interesting, and also respected the moment post-trip rest hehe. Very good picnic and beautiful views. We were very comfortable at all times

Wonderful walk. - Wonderful tour with a lively group. We had the privilege of finding lots of snow and our Guide Alex was the big difference. Attentive, cheerful and tireless, he gave us deep knowledge.

Experience Portillo - The landscapes are beautiful, very worth it! An introduction to the snow, for those who had never seen it! The Guide Alex Ruedlinger was amazing, bringing not only historical information, but also attentive overnight. Super sign!

2 Fast 2 Furious - Chilean edition - Went on the Incan Lagoon tour as our booked Cajon del Maipo tour was cancelled due to unfortunate forest fires there. Our host was a very nice man but this is just a drive out to an old fashioned skiing lodge with nothing to do, no chance to hike anywhere or do anything other than take a picture of the lagoon - which is beautiful, but nothing more than a photo op. Other stops on the tour include a truck stop at the Argentine border and a view of a big road. The picnic offered is meager; doritos & oreos etc served in a roadside cafe. Driver drove like a maniac the entire way. Not much of a tour unless you love motorways and Doritos.

Lack of professionalism - Felt Unsafe - A couple of weeks ago I booked a tour to Laguna del Inca alone and everything during the tour went ok until I arrived back to my hotel and I had a message in my phone number from someone related to the company asking for my telegram and saying that he was "an admirer". I understand the logistical purposes of leveraging our phone numbers when organizing the tour but it is very unprofessional to take advantage of it and write to girls/women. I found it really creepy and made me felt unsafe. Important to point out that I also wrote to the company directly to escalate this and they didn't do anything rather than answering to me that "they'll verify it". If you are travelling alone and, specially if you are women, think twice before booking with them!! :)

It's not worth it - I made two trips with this agency. One for vinicula Undurraga and another for Portilho. We two don't have any agency representatives together. On the vinicula tours the van driver was one hour late from the combined, I tried to call 17 times Pro driver and he did not answer me because according to the agency he was driving and could not. After requesting refund and canceling the order after staying 1 hour at the hotel reception the van arrived. We were afraid not to be refunded. The ride was cool with its own guides and the driver went 130km per hour talking on the phone quietly. I asked to stay at a point around, he spoke without problems. We left 2km from the place we asked on an express road, we had to walk on the grass to a sidewalk. At the gate was nice, but such breakfast is very expensive for a bread with cheese and shimmer coffee. The picnic is not even talked about, only biscuit in an extremely dirty place with aroma of lhama coconut.
