5.00My guide Leonardo was fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese and answered all of my questions. The agency is very organized and coordinated all the logistics. The sights were amazing! Definitely worth seeing while in Atacama. The food given for lunch was tasty, healthy and generous.
Guided tours are much better!!!

5.00The walk is unavoidable!! Pretty beautiful! The guide Ivan and the driver Ramon were amazing. We took a tour on our own and took this tour with the Hotizonte agency. Having a guide teaching about everything we’re seeing and leading to the best places makes all the difference. Ivan knows a lot. And Ramon, in addition to being a driver, was a photographer and master chef!!! Very well worth it
Great trip but a long day

4.00Great tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the different areas visited. It’s a long day but is broken up nicely by various stops. Only thing could have been better is the majority of the group was English speaking but we always had the Spanish first and they then made quite a pose getting up once the English version started would have been better to have English first if majority of group was English.
I highly recommend!

5.00Tremendous tour!! Almost one mandatory to do in San Pedro. We took the tour with Ivan and Freddy both excellent guides, leaving aside the beautiful landscapes the trip complements it very well with information, energy and music 10/10. I recommend taking this tour with horizon!
Great atacama experience
