Going to the Nevado Valley is well worth it. But this panoramic tour leaves much to be desired, as there is no guide, that is, they only take and leave at the points and then go to another stop. The driver was in a great hurry, and the road is very winding, people had nausea, besides the road being very dangerous.
For those who have never been to the snowy valley I recommend. Oh, pretty interesting. We were lucky. Sandrito guide and driver served us very well.
Very good the trip, we went with Juan jose a guide who knows a lot, and besides being attentive to everything, I went with my young children and he took care that we had fun at every stop, great.
I made reservations for the full day tour of the mountains and the day before the tour they changed it to something that didn’t fit our schedule so we had to not accept the changes they offered.
Comfortable van with plenty of room. Our driver was very knowledgeable about where to get equipment and snow clothes, stopped at a gas station for us to get snacks, and waited while we went skiing. Very nice driver, promt.
I made the purchase of the Vacation Package, the driver informed me that it was not only snow valley, after showing to him, the same arranged another driver to pick us up at 14:30 being impossible to spend the day in the snow valley, all the other cies got to pick up the staff at 16:00, that is, completely disorganized company making me in the detriment of the ski that I rent, not taking advantage of the track, due to the schedule, no one stays until 14:30 there.
Beautiful tour, very polite and attentive Guide, amazing places that exceeded my expectations. You can go that you will love
Amazing place, exemplary guides, hotel reception and wonderful food Super receptive people, out the place that's amazing
We are Brazilians, the tour was wonderful, the guide was punctual and very polite, really worth every penny, they are really nice
The tour was only for Valle Nevado and they had not organized well with the seats, there were many people and few seats and they transferred me to another van, the other van was going to Farellones Park with all the occupants so they literally convinced me to go there I had a good time but it was not what I asked for and what I initially paid for. Poorly coordinated… The driver and his companion very well.
