    The trip was wonderful from beginning to end. So much to see and do, and very well coordinated. All of the places in Chile that I wanted to visit were included (from the Atacama Desert to Patagonia). The accommodations were excellent. I had a great time. Thank you.

    The organization was excellent and Marilda from Signature extremely helpful. The Atacama portion was with a fabulous tour agency. Very professionally run. The Torres del Paine portion was a bit short so I added an extra 3 days there on my own which were great. Remember that Patagonia is very windy when you book. But absolutely beautiful and worth it!

    I had a great experience on this trip. Everything was very well organized by Marilda from Signature Tours, and their local partners -- Turismo Gato Andino at San Pedro Atacama, and Patagonia Planet in Puerto Natales. When one of the activities on the itinerary became unavailable, Marilda organized an alternate activity -- a 3.5 hr. soft hike in the Torres Del Paine national park. This turned out to be the highlight of my trip with close views of a lot of wildlife, including two Pumas. I am very pleased with my overall experience on this tour.

    This trip was so amazing from start to finish! I traveled as a solo female traveler and felt incredibly safe at all the hotels they booked for me and with all the tour guides/ drivers. I saw so many things I would not think to go see if I planned this trip by myself. Truly a once in a life time experience!

    Well organized, quick communication, excellent activities and guides, save one who preferred not speaking in English for the bilingual tour. (Patagonia Planet). All logistics were clear and set. And one very rare weather related incident caused us to miss stargazing (rescheduled and eventually refunded, without asking). Excellent company, excellent trip- make sure to stay longer in Torres del Paine, as I could have staid longer . The Atacama was worth the whole trip alone!

    I was to come to this region a few years ago, but for some problems, I could not, so I had to postpone it until a few days ago, that I could do it. The truth was incredible, the wait was asserted, incredible landscapes, I recommend a thousand times to make this trip with this company

    Fantastic! The truth is very entertaining, fun. It's something you can't miss if you are in Chile, it's just the right amount of days. Peter, the guide, is very funny, informative and pro active. I recommend him, without hesitation.

Highlights: Toro lake viewpoint, Serrano River, Grey sector, in this place we will walk approximately 1 hour 15 minutes (round trip) along a beach,where you have a panoramic view of Grey glacier and some ice floes that reach the shore of the beach. Pehoe lake viewpoint, Nordenskjold lake viewpoint, Paine waterfall viewpoint, the Sarmiento lake viewpoint. There are always extra things to photograph so the stops will generally be more.
