I was the only one booked...
Karla_S, September 2026
I was the only one booked on to this tour but an alternative option was made available to go to a winery and the oldest Ski Centre in South America. I was delighted as it was still the Andes. The driver and guide were excellent. Delighted with the day.
Response from the operator · gabriel v
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re very happy that you enjoyed the alternative itinerary and had the opportunity to experience the Andes, visit a winery, and discover one of South America’s historic ski centres. We’re also glad to hear that our driver and guide made your day enjoyable. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again in Chile!

Lovely tour!
Stephanie_J, May 2026
This experience was lovely. They were on time to pick me up from my hotel. The pre-tour communication was excellent. Alvaro was an excellent guide and Alenjandro was an excellent driver. I enjoyed the tour.
Response from the operator · gabriel v
Thank you so much for your kind review 😊 We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the experience and appreciated the punctual pickup and communication before the tour. Álvaro and Alejandro will be delighted to know you valued their work and professionalism. We hope to see you again soon!
★★★★★Viator review
Good trip but not worth for a full day.
Chain_Y, May 2026
good experience but I feel the cost is more for transport than tour guide or the view. Not much snow on the top of the mountain and it is just a 30min walk around the dam. Then the chocolate house was more a stop for ice cream and 3min photo for the building. Coming back around 3pm annd don’t understand why it needs a full day.
Response from the operator · gabriel v
Thank you for your feedback 😊 We understand your comments regarding the timing and pace of the tour. We aim to offer a balanced experience, but some passengers prefer to take more time at each stop, which is why the schedule is planned this way. We truly appreciate your observations and hope you still enjoyed the overall experience.

They canceled on us at the last minute
Marsha_N, February 2026
Two nights before we got a second confirmation. The next day we were flying to Santiago. At 830am they sent an email that they didn’t have enough for the trip but had an alternate trip. We got off the plane at noon and I replied yes. Then at 5pm I was told that i had responded too late and they had canceled us and refunded the tour. We were left with nothing!! And all trips were booked. Terrible customer service!
Response from the operator · gabriel v
We would like to clearly clarify the situation. The original tour was officially canceled, and this information was communicated at 8:30 am, early in the day. At that same time, an alternative tour option was offered, with the clear indication that it was subject to availability. We did not receive a response until later in the afternoon, at which point the alternative tour was already fully booked and no longer available. Given this, we immediately offered two clear solutions: rescheduling for another date or a full refund, which was processed accordingly. While we understand that changes to travel plans can be frustrating, we acted promptly, communicated early, and provided all possible alternatives within the available time frame. We appreciate your understanding and remain committed to providing clear communication and fair solutions to our passengers. Kind regards, GO 2 CHILE Team
