It was an awesome experience. Route and story telling were good. Our guide Emilie was very professional.

We had a good experience with the tour. There was a slight mixup with the pickup but nothing major. Emilia was very knowledgeable and did a great job.

A really good day trip around Rapa Nui, which became an excellent trip because of Frank, our guide. We visited most of the important places in the island and Anakena, the best beach at the island

Fab tour and guide Enrique was great. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the big sights on Easter Island.

Not enough time at the sites, felt very rushed. I had to choose between taking photos or listening to the explanations. Get a private guide if you can.

Great way to explore and visit the best sightseeing on the east side of the island, which is the furthest from Hanga Roa. We are very pleased on having chosen this tour.

We really enjoyed this tour. The guide was super nice and knowledgeable, the moais were of course amazing, and we got some great pics as well.

This Tour has great potential. Unfortunately, the weather conditions messed it up completely and we came into heavy rainfalls when visiting the most interesting and memorable sights. I can imagine that in good weather, it is a breathtaking experience as you can take your time and enjoy the scenery and mystic atmosphere of Rapa Nui.
The guide seemed a bit shy and didn‘t speak much. Instead he would ask us if we had questions.
All in all, I give this tour a 4-star rating as I am quite sure it can be truly magical if the weather is on your side.

The places we visited in that tour are absolutely great and signature for the Easter Island. I believe this route is quite standard for different agencies. Volcano Ranu Raraku and platform Ahu Tongariki are jewels of the tour.
However, our guide, Tavita, didn't have a lot of knowledge, and if we wouldn't read a book about the island before, it would be really hard to dive into the context. Storytelling was really weak, and he often couldn't find a right word in English. Next day wea had a tour with another agency and guide and could perfectly evaluate the difference in the knowledge and engagement level. It was a bonus though - no need to stay near by the guide and afraid to miss info:))
Also, be prepared that at the very beginning the bus picks up all participants which takes around an hour and at the end of tour - same process to deliver everyone to their accommodations. So realistically, tour starts around 10.30 - 11 am and ends at 4.15pm (after that time - just a ride to home). Just accept it as a reality to save your nerves:)

Gabriel is a great guide. His English is very good and he is very knowledgeable about the island. The tour is very smooth.

No snack no water. But at least this one was a full day 10am-4/5pm. All the sights great. Not rushed. Food at beach was good.

It was a group tour with about 12 people total. I was the only non-Spanish speaker but nonetheless the tour guide spoke fluent English and it was never a problem.

Great tour with all the essential sights. We especially liked the last stop at Anakena Beach, be sure to pack bathing suits.

Conhecer o vale dos Moais foi uma experiência fantástica. Tem que estar no roteiro de quem vier pata a Ilha de Páscoa. Recomendo!

Hola. El haber colocado las 3 estrellas no hace alusión a la belleza y el contenido de la Isla de Pascua en tanto que uno de los sitios arqueológicos más bellos del planeta. Me refiero a la organización. Cita 9h30. Un auto vino a las 10h45. Estuve un rato en un punto de interés hermoso. Luego me llevaron a un lugar donde esperaban a pasajeros de un crucero que estaba bloqueada la llegada de sus pasajeros debido a fuertes olas en el mar. Luego de tanta espera se decidió con un nuevo auto y nuevo guía comenzar la excursion a la 1 pm. Nos compensaron con otros 2 sitios que no estaba en programa y tuvimos un guía estupendo que se llama John. En fin que groso modo se pasó bien pero lo criticable es que no se tomó una decisión rápida para evitar la espera. Todo el personal de la agencia que nos atendió muy amable y resolutiva. Mauricio y la chica Fernanda muy profesional. Gracias por todo. Fidel Hernández
