We decided to take this tour to see the main attractions at TdP National Park, since we had a 3 day pass and the tour was day one. We were the last ones picked up on the excursion. The tour was very informative and our guide Rodrigo was excellent, as he was able to provide us with history, geography and nature all at the same time. The stops were as advertised, adequate to roam/take picture and thanks to Rodrigo we were able to get a lot of pictures of us taken at the various sites. At the Cueva del Milodon, Rodrigo provided great insight and answered our questions. I highly recommend this tour, as it gives you insight to the park itself and is helpful if you plan on going back the next couple of days, as to what you want to explore more in detail.
I confess that at first I was worried about not having many reviews. Ma s we bought and it was all perfect. The translator picked us up on our airbnb (because we were very close to the central regions) and the tour was great. Super polite and animated driver and guide, helping us and explaining all points/processes. And in relation to the park, very worth it, very beautiful place worth the experience.
I wanted to see the cliffs of Torres del Paine, and was able to check that off (from many angles), so good marks for that. Everything else was so-so. Our small bus was very full, including two moms of 2 not-so-well-mannered children. Went to the cave, which was kind of interesting, but really a “time filler”, as a fellow bus patron called it. The parts I liked least were the stop to a very tacky tourist shop with a cafe and bathroom in the middle of nowhere, and the late-announced “lunch” plan at the end of the trip - which was a surprise, since a lunch stop was not mentioned and the tour instructions said to pack your lunch! We stopped at a nice lodge place, where apparently some passengers had lunch reservations (?), and then the rest of the bus was taken to a less expensive cafeteria for an hour for “lunch” at 3;30 - after most packed lunches were already naively consumed. I opted to stay at the nice lodge (by Grey Glacier) and have a drink, which was lovely but I really just wanted to get home. The drive back was about 70% unpaved roads, which is what you get around the park, but it was def bumpy and loud. Not what I was expecting, and would find another way to see the park’s treasures if I were to do it again.
Excellent Tour!, Both Marina master guide and Bastian the driver, were always friendly attentive, with extensive knowledge of both the area and geological and historical. It depends a lot on the weather, but you have to keep in mind that it always rains here, and the wind quickly moves the clouds, so a cloudy day can end up being spectacular. I absolutely recommend the Tour with this company, very responsible and professional
Very happy with the pace and the coverage of this tour. Saw all the highlights of TdP in the comfort of a minivan with a bunch of people from all over the world. The tour guide Renea was great too.
We booked this trip last minute and had no issues with the process. All communication was done through WhatsApp and the pick up was smooth and on time. The trip includes multiple stops at different view points, a lunch stop and the cave. Our guide, Yohn, was extremely knowledgeable and made the day really fun! Both Yohn and the driver ensured we beat the crowds and got the best photos! Would definitely recommend this tour!
The tour covered a lot in the 10 hours. Quite easy going yet very informative. The weather was cooperative and we managed to visit many parts of the park. I recommend it.
Very beautiful place Great Guide and driver in your accompaniment Excellent reviews in Spanish and English You can share experiences with other visitors Very good
Some points, such as the Cueva del Milodón, we had to visit in a very short time and for that reason we were not able to get to know it well. We could have returned to the hotels at 6 p.m., instead of 5 p.m., and everything would have been perfect. The guide is very friendly.
Very god day. A trip to paradise. I very lire it. The guide is very good and the landscape is wanderful
