5.00Very good experience with the NCP Tourist Agency, all very friendly, with great knowledge of its history, and the detail that they pass you to find and to leave to the accommodation in which you stay is of great help considering that there are only taxis to move.

5.00Our first trip to Rapa Nui, certainly the NCP tourism agency met all our expectations and more, we felt safe, comfortable in each tour as we made three days of tour with them with different demands, resolved all our doubts and made us know the island and its culture in an unrivalled way, gave us tips of restaurants and places to know and were always available to help us. We would definitely choose them again you can see the passion and sense of belonging towards their culture.
Amazing experience, recommended agency.

5.00I came to contact Nico thanks to these recommendations, and I have no regrets. The professionalism and love for the island they transmit is immense, we take all the time to tour and know the places at our own pace. In addition, they give you recommendations on places to visit and miscellaneous data. Eternally grateful for all the knowledge delivered.
Our first time on the island and with the best agency ❤️

5.00By far the best experience is the one that this agency gave us, not only made a tour, they taught us and told us their culture, the environment and the people make you feel comfortable, besides they have scheduled the days to also create other experiences like meeting different people who go to the tur, now we have acquaintances from different sides of Chile and other Countries! Also the safety I think is one of the things that I rescue and appreciate most since we were the only ones with safety helmets and lanterns in the cave tur, umbrella for rain and even seats to wait for dawn, the patience also of the person with whom we communicate to book and orient ourselves to make the most of the days of tour on the island, also provide safe data for other activities, grateful from this agency that is very complete and very nice people behind it, THANK YOU! They made me and my friend take 100% advantage of our first time in Rapa Nui and connect with the island and its people, Maururu!
Wonderful experience

5.00It was a wonderful experience to do the tours with Nico's Agency and his family. We learned a lot about the Island and its ancestors, thanks to the entertaining and enjoyable way of telling us the whole story. Worried about all the details, and all the necessary implements, such as folding chairs, to see the 15 Moais and lantern helmets for the caves. They had the best disposition and you can see the great affection they give for their work. They were the best choice. Thank you very much for giving us a nice holiday!
Excellent experience in Rapanui
