The meeting point at muele prat was good, but perhaps wifi could be made available there so foreign tourists can access WhatsApp which is how guides communicate with clients.”

“You should not work with this company. They did not contact me directly at any time. After reserving a hotel room in order to participate and being up and ready for pickup at 5am we waited for an hour. No one from the company answered calls or messages. We were only informed after contacting Viator that a refund was issued 45 minutes after the start of the tour. They were not able to contact the company either to determine why.”
Day trip from Santiago to Valle Nevado and Farellones for Andes views, snow time, and a mountain village break, with guide and transport.
“Today was an amazing day! The experience of knowing the snow, and having fallen snow was fantastic. Something to stay in memory is in the heart. Extremely punctual schedules. No delay. Renato was super kind and explained everything very straightforwardly to us. The rental of snow clothes has reasonable prices. But if you rent before on street constituiciones pay much less. It's worth the walk. Trust Morande! Fair price and service!Auto-translated”

A private day trip from Santiago to Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, plus Casablanca Valley wine tasting and Pablo Neruda’s La Sebastiana.
“Guide was punctual, knowledgeable, and friendly. We were very happy that we selected the private tour. It was $50 more per person but definitely worth it.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
