It is worth it - Wonderful, and very well organized. I highly recommend it. Simply a magical experience. But I recommend choosing a new moon week, it will be better

Amazing experience - Perfect service, I had my doubts resolved online and I also had all the support I needed on all the tours I took in Santiago and Atacama. I highly recommend the agency, I had no problems with the transfer and the 06 tours I booked. Special thanks to Amanda Gallão :)

I recommend - I really enjoyed the tours. I have an observation about the first trip to the salt flats, I suggest you put it at the end, due to the high salt content we roasted and burned a lot, this kind of got in the way of enjoying our trip. And regarding the astronomical, I suggest that instructions be sent the day before, including the agency we will go to; In the astronomical tour, the instructions that were given in the past were to exit in front of the museum, however I found it strange that they didn't tell us to confirm it (as in previous tours), and I sent a message asking if they guided us to another location, but they didn't tell us the company! We were lost, it worked out because there was another company going and they checked for us

Does not fulfill the contract - I booked an astronomical tour with reclining chairs because observing the sky while standing and looking up is very uncomfortable. This company outsourced to another of a worse level, changed the day of my trip without warning and put me in a very dirty van, I couldn't even have dinner or take a shower. It was awful. I do not recommend. A disrespect
