“Don't bother. It was a major disappointment. Although the tasting was not bad, we were never told what to expect because the driver (no guide) only some Spanish. If we did not have someone on the tour from Argentina helping us, we would have been out of luck. So sorry we did this”

We got tours and tastings at three wineries, and it was only our group in each of these tours. Joao spent time getting to know each of us and was a great conversationalist during the long drives to and from Santiago. Overall, a great tour!”

Concha y Toro tour from Santiago with hotel pickup, gardens and cellars, wine and cheese tastings, plus a sommelier class.

“Nunca se realizó la visita a la viña porque la noche anterior me avisaron que solo contaban con Somellier en portugués, sin opción de cambio hasta eventualmente una semana posterior, lo que no era factible. Se comprometieron a devolverme el dinero en 48 hrs y después de tres semanas todavía ni una respuesta. Realmente muy desagradable la experiencia además de haberme estafado al no devolverme el dinero pagado. Nadie responde a correos ni llamados. Tengan cuidado”

Ski classes and snow fun at Farellones Park from Santiago, with hotel pickup, gear, and mountain views in an 8-hour day trip.

“Farellones park is ridiculously busy and the queues are around 2/3 hours long. The zip line we waited for 3 hours and then had to leave before we went on it as our ski lesson was booked at 2pm. Your ski lesson isn’t pre-booked so all the morning slots were booked up when we got there. The ski lesson and time on the slope was amazing. Also, private transfer in a comfortable car. I just wouldn’t return to this resort or if you are going to make sure it’s not on a Friday or a weekend. Our guide minded our clothes and shoes while we skied, we appreciated this as…”

After the market, which included picking up our freshly caught and fillet fish, we took an uber to the kitchen. Once inside we got to work. The view was amazing and such a beautiful place to learn about Chilean food. Andy was great with our kids as we let them do most of the work. After we were done, we sat outside on the deck to enjoy the things we made. We had…”
