5.00It was very cool! German was super attentive in speaking every possible language so everyone could understand. He was concerned about telling about history, reliefs and geography in general. And the return was so calm and sleepy after the hot waters kkkkk We slept like a child. All very nice and cool

5.00We did this tour as a couple and it exceeded all our expectations. ⭐️⭐️⭐️‐️‐️ From the first minute, the tour captivated us completely. What made the experience really special was our guide, Germán. His professionalism and charisma are of another level; he had an incredible information management and delivered a narrative that makes you feel immersed in the local culture at all times. He managed to capture our interest, always attentive, friendly and with a golden disposition.🙌🏻 The journey itself was extremely comfortable and safe thanks to the Hermenes driver, his professionalism allowed us to enjoy the wonderful views between mountains without worry. Without a doubt, the best part of the tour were, the hot vats, the heated pools and the sauna, are just wonderful.😌 It is very appreciated to find tours with this level of dedication and beautiful landscapes. Fully recommended!
If you want to know Mountain this ride is for you!

5.00We went along with my partner to the Cajon del maipo tour with great expectations as we know it is loaded with history, landscapes and even delicious food, and I must say that despite everything managed to far exceed our expectations as it was a simply spectacular walk, all this thanks to the undisputed best guide in all Turistik, Germán. Germán not only fully handles the information and history that give the cultural and heritage relevance to the commune making it an enriching and deeply educational experience, but is also the most attentive type that can be asked, since he knew how to identify the needs of all passengers, us included, without even asking him, making it much easier to feel confident and supported at all times of the Tour. Thank you again to Germán and obviously to Hermenes the driver who was very neat in his work, this ride is the perfect price/quality ratio and that is not to mention the stellar guidance from Germán which gives a high added value 🙌.
Great experience, to relax and distrute

5.00Everything Perfect, since we left our guide Germán was explaining and guiding us around the place, he was watching each other at all times, collaborating in what he could, were super attentive and together with Hermes our driver, a pleasant trip. The day we went was in autumn and the contrast of colours seen in the landscape is a distracting feeling. I want to come back but make that trip in winter to enjoy the warm pools much more.
Scenic, beautiful, relaxing
