The tour was nicely organised and the guides excellent, although one of them was a little difficult to understand.

One of the best tours of my life! Everything was perfect! Before going, Marilda, the Tour agent, addressed my questions and adapted the tour to suit my needs. The guides, especially JP, were knowledgeable about the region's geography and history. The meals provided in the tour were excellent (the places we stopped for lunch, and even the box meal). And the landscape….Torres del Paine is one of the most beautiful places on Earth! Highly recommend this tour!
