I would like to provide comments in relation to this tour which was purchased on 19 November 2023.
Booking this tour, Viator charged me USD $313.76 or USD$156.88 per person.
As per the itinerary of the tour we expected that we would be picked up from the hotel but your message was saying that we need to be at the Mahinatur office at 9am.
When we came to the company office we found out that there are 2 prices for the tour:
60,000 peso without a lunch or 60,000/913=USD$66 per person
80,000 peso with a lunch or USD$88 person.
We expected that our payment of US$156.88 pp will definitely cover the expenses for the lunch. Unfortunately, the tour operator said to us that our booking does not include the lunch.
The above mentioned means that you have significantly overpriced the tour fee by almost 2.5 times. Booking numerous tours in the world, I have never seen so high overpricing.
Could you please explain why the overpricing is so extremely high?
Obviously the related information will be posted in the Trip Advisor site.
We were on a very long trip in South America with too many tours but this had been the biggest disappointment for how we were treated by your company.
Yes, we perfectly understand that the tour price should be higher than buying the same tour directly. But definitely, it should not be so high.
I will never ever buy any tour via your company.
I would appreciate if the points made above are addressed please.

The visit to the volcano was great. I was disappointed that my all-day tour was cancelled. They did not want to return my money. Instead, they offer me half day tours without lunch. I was told I was going to receive reimbursement that day, but nobody knew about it, I had to go to my hotel to get money for my lunch. Because my tour was split, they did not pick me up from my hotel. I had to walk to a place to join the group.

Dear RAUL_C,
We sincerely regret the inconveniences you experienced during your visit to Rapa Nui. We would like to address your concerns and clarify some important points.
We understand your frustration regarding the cancellation of your tour and the refund process. However, it is important to note that your booking was made through Viator, not directly with Tangol. Therefore, it is Viator who is responsible for processing any refund, as you made the payment through them. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. You have posted this review very fast (just 1 day after the tour), you have given Viator no time to make your refund.
In addition, when hiring a regular service tour, the transfer is made from a designated meeting point. In case you had hired a private tour, the transfer from your hotel would have been included for your convenience. However, it is important to note that meals and beverages not specified, entrance fees to Rapa Nui Park and the Box Lunch service are not included. The time and meeting point will be confirmed 24 hours prior to the tour for your convenience and planning. This can be seen in detail in the description of the service.
We regret any confusion or miscommunication that may have arisen during your experience with us. We greatly value our customers and always strive to provide excellent service.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas for improvement.
We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again in the future and provide you with a more satisfying experience.
Best regards, Tangol Tours

Luis was an incredible and knowledgeable guide, to say the least. He took us to all the major sites and explained in incredible detail the history of everything. My only feedback is that lunch could’ve been earlier (I was STARVING) but I’ve heard people eat later lunches in Chile, so I should’ve probably planned better. I would’ve also liked to spend more time at the beach. But overall a great experience!
