5.00The Chilean Lake District is very special - we saw sun, clouds, and rain in the same hour. We also saw the mountains, volcanoes and lakes. We stopped for lunch too. A great day. Thank you Alejandro!

Unforgettable tour

5.00The tour is very complete, the volcano is beautiful and the waterfalls are quite different in relation to the color of the water and the combination with the volcano gives an amazing landscape. What I didn't like was the lunch, restaurant very bad, by the way to eat well in Chile has to look a lot. I bought the package on TripAdvisor via the internet and it was much more expensive than buying in Puerto Varas. Let me buy there.
Beautiful nature spots

4.00This is an excellent tour, three beautiful places and walks. We had a fantastic guide called Jenny. The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is because the tour ended with going to a restaurant for lunch which was not mentioned in the itinerary and not included. I had taken my own lunch but felt obliged to eat in the restaurant
A great experience

5.00A great experience in Puerto Varas. Our guide Nelly was knowledgeable and made this tour fun. She gave us lots of information and answered our questions. It was snowing when we got to the Orsorno Volcano. It was an amazing site. I highly recommend this tour.
Very nice walk, over...

4.00Very nice walk, especially the jumps of the Petrohue River and the boat on Lake All Saints. We could not enjoy the Osorno volcano for the time, much wind and fog that did not allow us to appreciate the view. Super friendly guides.
Loved it!

5.00Loved the experience! Mauricio was super nice and always with a smile. The restaurant was OK, but everything else was very good and very flexible and friendly.
The wonders of the South

5.00The south is wonderful, its landscapes invite us to contemplate the great beauty of our country and makes us feel that we are in paradise. We have a long way to go, beautiful sands cove, I took a look at the beginning of the southern road, which will be our next adventure.
A good day out and a great lunch

4.00Our guide for the day, Nelly, was great. Very friendly and helpful and gave us all the information needed, and was very entertaining. 5/5 for her. The minibus was clean and well maintained. The driver was also a very nice guy and funny. The waterfalls were nice to see. Lunch was excellent and very enjoyable and a good price. The group was friendly and helpful especially the Brazilian couple who helped me a lot as a non Spanish speaker. And the trip up the volcano was also interesting although cold near the top- warm jacket and a hat advisable. I would have added another hour or so to the trip- the ski lift up the volcano (29000 CLP) was possibly the slowest in the world and the distance between points is quite a long way- this led to things being a little rushed and as a result, one guest was sick on the bus (not her fault) because the road up the volcano is very winding and immediately after lunch, also on the return journey the driver was going pretty fast and made some potentially dangerous overtaking manoeuvres- I’m a professional driver myself so I note these things. Safety and comfort should always be paramount so adding more time into the tour would have resolved this
Amazing Views!

5.00Nelly was our guide and she was great! Very informative and we knew what to except. She communicated in English and Spanish. The views of the volcano were amazing and so was the waterfall. She was prompt with keeping everyone on track with time. Great experience!
