The tour was very...
The tour was very well-organized. Our guide, Lola, was amazing and very helpful. We received all the necessary information on time and had a wonderful trip.
The only thing I didn't like was that the guide kept switching between three languages, even though the tour was supposed to be in English.

Amazing views and tour guide
I think the effective part of the entire 10 hour tour is just 1 hour at the reservoir, rest all stops are for breakfast and ice-creams to make the day longer. Nevertheless, the views at reservoir are amazing, picnic was fun and our tour guide Joana was very kind!

I loved it!
It was an amazing trip! Just an hour away from the big metropolis finding yourself surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Andes!
Our guide Diego was so informative and well acquainted with the area we visited. I loved his quick with and sense of humor.

Francisco was a great...
Francisco was a great guide having a lot of experiences in the area and deep knowledge of the geology and Chile history. The tour was a great experience to get out out of the city and into the mountains.

The best private tour of our entire holiday!
We just got back from an incredible and memorable trip with Francisco - he has so much passion for the Andes mountains and has a fountain knowledge of the area. The explanations he gave were fun and fact filled - this combined with his patience with us wanting to get out of the car and take in the scenery. By far the best private tour of our trips in Chile so far - the tour flew by! Highly recommend Francisco if he is available!

Our tour guides were amazing and so were the views! Tomy and Baltazar made the experience fun and took us multiple places to take pictures and explain the landscape.

A Wonderful Trip with Gonzalo
As both our guide and driver Gonzalo made extra efforts to make our trip very interesting and comfortable. He is very knowledgeable and responsible. The roads is difficult to drive but he did a wonderful job. We really had a wonderful time

Mauricio was an excellent guide! Had a lovely time in Cajon del Maipo. Beautiful views and lots of good information.

Gorgeous pictures and delicious picnic
Jaime was our driver and we had such an excellent time! The picnic would have been way cooler if we could have done it down in the mountains, but when we did do the picnic, it was delicious! The water and the mountains were GORGEOUS and worth the trip!

Great day going to Maipo Valley and El Yeso with Juan and Jean Pierre
Juan and Jean Pierre worked so well together and made it a memorable day. Was easy to feel comfortable with them from the moment we met them. Maipo Valley and El Yeso Reservoir were beautiful. Throughout the whole day Juan and Jean Pierre shared their knowledge of Chile, so we learned a good deal. They both went above and beyond to make it an awesome day. Interactions like today, with wonderful tour guides makes one want to come back and see more of Chile.
