“Notre guide Alex a été super. Il nous a offert un tour en espagnol, anglais et portugais et nous a partagé une tonne de connaissances. Le pique-nique à la fin de l'activité était très bien. Le seul point d'amélioration, c'est que nous avons fait beaucoup de route pour faire seulement des arrêts "photos", sauf à la plage, où nous sommes resté 1 heure. C'est bien si vous n'avez pas beaucoup de temps pour explorer autour de Santiago.”

“Only it wasn't worse because the Mauritius Driver Guide is EXCELLENT. And because we visited Embalse el Yeso. Why do I say it was bad? Because they put me on a different ride than I bought. I bought Andean Experience with el morado and Lodge SPA with lunch INCLUSO. And it wasn't that script. Enterprise Turistik put me in another scenario without EL MORADO, NO LODGE SPA AND NO LUNCH. I was very disappointed because it was very different from what I hired.Auto-translated”
