Picked up at the port with driver and guide Hans. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We seemed to see the main highlights of the city including the cemetery which was a must do. However the tour only lasted two hours and we didn't feel that this represented best value for money.

Our tour guide Marcella was great, very accommodating and really knows about Punta Arenas history. In the tour description we were supposed to see the Punta Arenas National Monument Cemetery, its architecture and mausoleum and walking thru the perfect lined tall cypress trees but we did not see these. We wished we did! And we are sorry we missed it!

We had a young student for this tour. He barely spoke English. Im sure he was practicing on us. He was very enthusiastic and very sweet. We didnt stop for pictures anywhere except downtown on the square. VERY expensive for what we got. Half of what we paid would have been generous
