Trip to the geysers El Tatio - It was a beautiful experience, which had been achieved all around. Already the pickup at the hotel went great. Our guide Niklas has been able to give us a lot of information about the geysers, landscape, animals etc. through his perfectly understandable English. He was always worried about his group and you could tell he was having fun at his work. A trip to the geysers we can only recommend to anyone, it was great. We also tolerated the height very well. Niklas and the driver prepared us a delicious breakfast. We can recommend the trip 100%.

Unmissable - While the chauffeur-guide duo was reportedly new, they quickly coordinated. The above, together with the stunning scenery and anecdotes told by the guide, made for a pleasant tour. They were punctual and the advice very assertive to enjoy.

Geysers del Tatio - The tour guide George was very friendly to answer all the questions. He spoke in English and Spanish so that the whole group could understand the information. Breakfast was very nice. I recommend going with shoes and jacket suitable for the cold of the place.

Great tour with a super professional agency - I travelled in some other planet! The agency was just amazing in the organization the day before, to make sure we had all the information on time and we were coming prepared. Giulia our guide was so professional and happy, sharing with joy her knowledge about the place. We arrived first there, so it was just crazy to see it empty. We also made other stops on the way to see other landscapes. And the breakfast was really nice, we stopped on a beautiful spot and there was enough food and drink. I have tried different agencies, and I really can recommend this one!

Unforgettable morning at El Tatio Geysers! - We had an amazing experience on the El Tatio Geysers tour with Francisco. He was a fantastic guide — funny, knowledgeable, and great with kids. We left early to catch the geysers at sunrise, and it was absolutely worth it. The views were stunning, with incredible steam rising against the cold morning air. Francisco explained everything clearly, took beautiful photos for us, and even prepared a delicious breakfast on the rocks with coffee, eggs, and pastries. Later, we stopped to try llama skewers and saw flamingos dancing during mating season, as well as a duck with a bright blue beak — a real treat for the kids! The tour was well-paced and very comfortable, with time to rest and enjoy each stop. Francisco also shared great recommendations for cafes back in San Pedro. Overall, it was a phenomenal and family-friendly experience — engaging, scenic, and perfectly organized. We’d give it a full 5/5 and highly recommend it!
