Great experience and decent value for money. Note - Howlanders don't actually operate the tour but they place you witha tour operator. This is not a bad thing - they choose their tour operators carefully and ensure high levels of service - in my opinion it is worth paying slightly more to go through Howlanders for this peace of mind rather than taking a gamble booking with a operator directly.
The tour itself was great - our guide, Rene, was friendly and funny. As with most guides, he only spoke Spanish - worked fine for non-Spanish speakers as others in the group translated as required. The 4x4 we were in was much better than I expected - comfortable and fairly spacious with bluetooth for playing music. The accomodation and food does the job - the first night is a very basic place, but given how rural it is, this is to be expected. The food does the job at keeping you fuelled, but I advise bringing your own snacks to supplement. The locations you visit are consistently amazing and breathtaking.
Overall - an excellent experience, well run tour, amazing locations and good value.
