Beautiful and very interesting! The museum rooms, the Fort Bulnes with its beautiful views, the rich trail, and the kindness of our guide.
Gracias
A quiet cruise around with spectacular views, now seen things I never thought I would see. We were on P&O Aurora, the Captain turned the ship 360 degrees to appreciate the views.
Thank you
It is very windy in Punta Arenas and Fort Bulnes. Wear layers because if the air is cold it can cut right through you. I highly recommend this tour. The reconstructed fort and interpretive exhibits offer a glimpse into what it took to settle this vast territory. The Strait museum is an impressive facility that showcases the ecology, exploration and settlement of this region. Our guide Nickolas was a font of knowledge and embellished our tour with interesting stories illustrating every aspect of the founding and development of Punta Arenas. We were treated to a special viewpoint, a walk through the town square and the Cemetery of Punta Arenas where historic figures were brought to life.
Thank you for your comments!
We took the Service together with a friendly German couple, to whom we had promised to show Punta Arenas, without knowing it either, and in short I can indicate the following: 1. Coordination from the beginning with Ms. Veronica was very agile, quick responses and searches for alternatives, whenever she needed it. He gave me clear information and advised me on the most appropriate choice, as we did not know the area. I make things easier for us, placing us in a guide who speaks English. 2. The shuttle Service with Don Luis, was excellent, punctual, very friendly and friendly. He also knows the area very well and explained any details we wanted to know. 3. Special rating for our guide, Nicolas, a very friendly young man who handles a lot of information about the area. He was clear and took us around like a nephew, and helped us a lot with German friends, given his English proficiency. Conclusion, in our experience the Service is highly recommended, Ms. Veronica and her team, are serious people, friendly and fully fulfilling their commitments.

The full day tour in Punta Arenas and Magalhães Strait was wonderful, stunning landscapes. The guide Felipe was extremely attentive and kind. He knew a lot about the place and gave us a true lesson of history and geography. We would like to thank Felipe and the chauffeur Mr. Luiz for the precious tips of restaurants and shopping venues. I recommend this tour!!!

Stephanie was GREAT. I have chronic health problems. I felt respectfully taken care of. They helped me do more than I thought I would be able to do. She told us historical as well as fun facts about the city and the area to make the trip something. we will always. remember.
Thank you
We went with my Husband to Punta Arenas de Luna de Honey and hired 2 tours, full day Torres del Paine (group) and full day Punta Arenas and Strait of Magellan (private) We had a great time, Gabriel and Juan who were in the first, had very good group management and tourist information, it was exhausting and for me the stop times were good in each viewpoint and stopping point... for my husband it was little time but because he enjoys that frigid climate; and we won pot draw a plush milodon!! On the other tour Luis with his wife were very friendly and had a lot of flexibility to visit some points of interest to us, instead of others we had already seen
Gracias por sus comentarios !
A very nice overview of the city and the area. Alex was great, he knew everything plus more about the local history and commerce, plus great insights concerning current events. He is one of the nicest people I've ever met!
Thank you sir Donal .We will tell the guide
When you travel for the first time to an area that is demanding like Chilean or Argentine Patagonia, the most valuable thing is to have a tour operator that delimits the space and cultural patterns that you must take care of so that the experience reduces risks and is as pleasant as possible. I visited Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales, Torres del Paine and El Calafate with Punta Arenas tours and from the beginning they gave me detailed information about each route, the schedule in which each tour should arrive without exaggerating the arrival time that can take its toll on you because of the cold of the area; the contacts in each tour and accommodation, the type of costumes, the types of currency allowed and a long etc... And, as an attaché, they were always vigilant in responding to our inquiries accurately and efficiently. Thank you, Veronica and Luis for your professionalism!
