“Our guide/driver Luis was very nice, was full of information and was continuously sharing it, but his English was not quite up to our expectation, and the tour was not as expected or described. We were spoiled the day before, having had a guide with excellent English. At the 09:00 pickup, we were told we would stop for the wine tasting in about an hour, on the way to Valparaiso. I mention that 10:00 seemed a bit early for a wine tasting, and asked if we could do it on the way back from Valparaiso. When told it would complicate the schedule if we changed it, I said to proceed…”

The Andes are different from any mountains I have seen. I really expected more but what we saw was ok.”

“Was not pleased with the driver. On arrival in the airport lounge, looked for the driver, who was chatting with the second driver. He said "hello".and all I asked him was how come he didn't have a sign saying Viator and he snapped at me. He said I was rude and I should have said "hello" to him first. Then he proceeded to say, he waited for us for so long. I thought the driver is suppyto check the arrival time of the flight before coming to the airport.
