    We're going to the parts. First: The attention of the agency was excellent, they are very cordial and professional. Second: the car was comfortable, it ran well and its fuel consumption was low. Third: the hotels we had in the packages, wonderful. Fourth: the landscapes you'll visit are magnificent. Indescribable. Just a word of advice: don't throw in the water from a service, it can get very cold!

    As the previous reviews say, the best thing about this tour is that you can manage your own time, since you have the car, and you can take more or less time in some places, or add others to the list of those suggested to us by this magnificent company. I want to thank all the staff of Signature Tours for this incredible experience that I was able to do thanks to them.

    The most important thing to note is that being a self drive you have the freedom to move in time. We went to the recommended restaurants and the truth is that the food and their attention were wonderful. Very happy to have made this magnificent experience. Cheers!

    We were able to see very nice places, Chile really surprised us. One tip is to check that your driver's license is in order. Luckily we were 3 people so we took turns with two since one had his card expired ahahah. A personal opinion is that Puerto Varas and Frutillar are two places that fall in love.
