5.00I was fortunate to enjoy one of the most wonderful walks of my life. Good luck that Nelson matched as a driver, as I had already had to drive on my ride to Viña - Valparaíso. For his part, Germán demonstrated a culture and mastery of the outstanding area, providing knowledge and curiosities about each point of our tour. Both very respectful and helpful. I would definitely repeat my experiences with Turistik.

5.00A wonderful walk, where you learn history and see unique and incredible landscapes, thank you to guide Alejandro and driver Nelson for making this experience so enjoyable.
Excellent tour guides (Luciano Janis and Luis), stunning views, though lunch quality and Spa could use upgrades

4.00Excellent locations and views. Perfect way to see more of Andes and life outside the city. The tour guides (Luciano, Janis) and driver (Luis) were fantastic and really made the trip so special. Luciano was very entertaining and informative and made you feel close to Chile culture. The stops along the way were all very special. However, the food at the lunch spa was not good. Salmon was dry and flavorless and pasta was not much better. The spa had huge potential, beautiful location. Though the outdoor pool was frigid & dirty and the sauna wasn’t up to temperature even though we reserved a time. Quite disorganized there. Would recommend this tour highly if they fixed the lunch option and ensured spa was properly functioning and clean.
Great relaxing day tour
