    I want to preface this by saying I have never travelled in Chile so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The guide didn’t seem to spread her attention around the group. Focussing on only a few. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The included meals were ‘ok’ and not very well organized in their set up.

    The colours and grandeur of the landscape were unparalleled but this you can see on any tour- what was unique was how the guides (Francesca and Lucas) went above and beyond to translate everything into English for us. They timed everything perfectly along the way and made sure to give us information before or after the main group on the side so it didn't interrupt the flow. Breakfast set up and take down was also accompanied by information so we were always interested and food was great (set up a table of pre-prepared items parked up with spectacular desert views/ the Tropic of Capricorn). It was much more informative than tours we have recently been on (in Peru) so I may have to rethink how I rank other tours :)
