An experience that made our trip to Rapa Nui special.

5.00We took several tours with NCP during our trip to Rapa Nui, including the Full Day tour, and the experience with Nicol and Nicolás was excellent. I want to especially highlight their willingness and human quality that allowed all of us to enjoy each tour. I traveled with my 81-year-old mother, and thanks to their constant support and help, she was able to experience and enjoy places that would have likely been much more difficult to navigate. That level of concern made a significant difference for us. In addition to their kindness, their extensive knowledge of Rapa Nui's history and culture is evident. More than just providing information, they convey the passion for the island and make the experience participatory and close, something we did not see in other tours. More than a tour, it was a completely recommendable human and cultural experience.

5.00Unmatched and unforgettable experience, family-oriented and personalized service, Nico (guide) is an expert in the knowledge of his ancestors and the history of Rapa Nui, patient in explaining, helping, and ensuring the necessary comfort for the entire group, in addition to providing information relevant to the tour, he makes recommendations for other places such as churches, bars, and restaurants with live shows about the history of the moai, dances, and typical foods.

5.00Excellent guide, it was evident that he cared for everyone to learn about his culture and for everyone to experience the activities as best as possible, especially for an older person in the group with mobility issues, for whom he brought an extra guide just so she (the elderly woman) could go at her own pace, this shows that they are an agency that cares much more about the human aspect than receiving payment, I rate them a 10.
Totally recommendable.

5.00When we decided to travel to Easter Island, we were very concerned about choosing a good agency, and fortunately, we got to know Turismo NCP. We took the complete experience and are happy to have been able to explore the island with Nico, who is an unparalleled guide, very kind, approachable, provides a wealth of information, and answers absolutely everything. Additionally, he is kind enough to give recommendations and practical information that you can consult. We went with our 8-year-old son, who really asks a lot of questions, and Nico was very dedicated in answering each of his inquiries. The vehicles we traveled in were comfortable, we always felt safe, and they were flexible in picking us up at our cabin or in the center when we requested it. The day before each tour, they sent us complete information about the pickup time, destination, and recommendations. In summary, it was a great experience, and I recommend it 100%. Thank you very much!!
