“The guide gave zero commentary when we set out on a 45 minute drive—did not even say our destination! It was Sunday morning and the town was completely shut down. Nothing open. No people on the street. Guide dropped us in town square said come back in 30. She went on a smoke break. Again no background info. Took us to an Overlook. Only offered info when asked—what is that? We believe we were possibly put on a different tour than we booked though our name was on the list. Our ticket had listed national park tickets. Guide knew nothing about it. Guide name was Natalia. Group members were in…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 18 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $339

Review of a private Elqui Valley tour from La Serena with pisco tasting, Gabriela Mistral museum, solar lunch, and port transfers.

“Buyer beware. Do not book this tour. The description is not at all accurate. Pickup at port was not on time nor in the right location, I had to go find them and wasted a bunch of time looking for them. Driver was great, but the driver and guide clearly had never met each other as well, and we couldn't find the driver at first which wasted even more time. The tour itself was only semi-private. The vehicle was private, but then we got to stops and had to "wait for the rest of the groups to come" before we were able to actually see anything. The whole point of…”

Explore Licancabur, Andean wetlands, salt flats, lagoons, wildlife, breakfast, and lunch on a 7-hour trip from San Pedro de Atacama.

“Tour itself was not bad although I felt it was rushed and stopped only few times just to take few pictures. You don’t really get close to animals either. We spent most of the time driving around. The worst part was discovering that I have paid way more than anyone else in the van because I booked here the rest of the group paid almost half of the price that seem more reasonable for the type of tour you gonna get. Definitely not value for money, save your money and book a serious tour with more stops. The only good part about were the guide and the people on the…”
