The Key & Peele Tours

The tour with the RoRo team was extremely entertaining as well as didactic, they know every detail of the places visited and make the tour very fun with its dynamic and good vibe. In addition Roger is a very good driver, very prudent and his interventions are also very funny are essential in the dynamics. 100% recommended.

Excellent tour

Tour done by INTIPARA TRAVEL, very well conducted and planned. Roberto a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable of the tour and always to accompany EVERYONE, with an unmatched kindness and sympathy. Breakfast and lunch very good and excellently planned and prepared. The tour operator- Jaez Adventure- which Trip Advisor indicated to me as operator does NOT EXIST, has no activity in S. Pedro de Atacama, does not exist at the address indicated by Trip Advisor and despite my insistent contacts to the telephone number indicated on the reservation, never answered the phone.

Operator response

Olá, você disse que o endereço não existe, como é que se o Alejandro, dono da Jaes Adventure, te atendeu na agência física, conversamos e deu tudo certo com o passeio e eu mesmo atendi o telefone da agência e combinei com você o ponto de encontro na agência.

Good tour, organization needs improvement

The tour stopped in fantastic places and was great, as were the guide (Pablo) and the driver. The star rating is for the booking agency - we received no communication from them until I chased them, and even then the responses were mono-syllabic and unhelpful. Unlike other tour operators in town who are well organized and share tickets and pickup details via WhatsApp the day before, this company couldn’t give me details on the pickup time and location. It wasn’t until the morning of the pickup that they messaged to say that the van had broken down. Luckily, they were able to get a replacement, so even though the tour started an hour late but we still managed to squeeze everything in. Viator was useless as well - as all tours have to be booked at most by the day before, finding an alternative would have been a nightmare and we would have wasted an entire day because of this. I highly recommend going into town and booking the tours directly with the operators there, as they’re at least guaranteed to happen.

An amazing day in the desert

The best Atacama tour guides, no doubt. My second visit to the desert, I did the same tours, but with the attention of Nina and Xavier the day was perfect. Nina is a attentive guide, intelligent and knows a lot of the places we visited, besides being a great photographer, thinks poses, is tireless and surprised us with great photos surprise. Xavier, besides a guide, was a driver, chef and the best DJ in the desert, with an incredible soundtrack that matched too much with the landscapes we passed, it was like living in a movie with the perfect soundtrack. Breakfast and lunch were delicious and the van was comfortable. I highly recommend this tour, we took amazing photos and the wonderful moments and places we visited will always be in our memories. Thanks guys!

Excellent experience

I loved our experience with the company, they are punctual and polite. The guides are very helpful and made the experience the best we had during our stay in SAN Pedro. With emphasis on Guide Kristel, the best without a doubt, fun, funny and taught us a lot about the desert. Very good breakfast.

Sensational

We took the guided tour through Franca and Hugo, the places themselves are surreal but what made the experience even better were the extremely attentive, funny guides with vast knowledge of the region. I recommend!

An unmissable tour. Be careful, it's windy there. So cover your head completely if you can.

Sell one Barbarity. Is very beautiful. It is well worth the effort to enjoy this natural attraction. Be warned they only have 2 bathrooms for an army of tourists.

Place to visit yes or yes

A very nice experience. The Piedras Rojas place is very beautiful, well maintained and with a very beautiful energy. Its different colors are very striking, in addition to being a very calm route. I went with the guide Donkan from @sanpedroancestral who demonstrated a good understanding of the history, flora and fauna of the places. It helped me unite and complement the knowledge acquired on previous tours.

Good tour - could have been better

Good guide and driver (if a bit of a rally racer), and nice brekkie and lunch. The places we visited were utterly beautiful. I think it could have been less rushed: it was marketed as 6 to 6 but we got back at 4.45. For the price a drop off to our hotel would have been a nicer touch.
