Great place and guide - The Valley is wonderful. In the middle of the tour there was a thunderstorm and the park was closed, but our guide Ernesto improvised an amazing tour with the van and let us eventually enjoy a gorgeous sunset. He saved the day. Recommended.

Valle de la Luna, more than a lunar landscape - It was a very nice tour! The surroundings are super beautiful and there is much to discover. The guide spoke very good English and told and showed a lot. He translated everything for the Spanish-speaking visitors. I'm glad I booked even more tours through this agency. Super friendly everyone and solution-oriented in small hurdles! Definitely a very good agency in San Pedro de Atacama. Before each tour you will be sent the most important information via WhatsApp so that you can prepare well.

A very nice afternoon and evening! - Awesome guide who was incredibly knowledgeable and nice who could answer all questions and had many interesting things to tell throughout the tour. She went the extra mile all the time which made the experience something extra. The tour itself is well-covered for Valle de la Luna with plenty of time to photograph and look at things. Can warmly recommend this company, have been on several excursions with them and they have been great everything!

Striking landscape but the tour can be better - The valley of the moon is a spectacular landscape, but I feel that the tour is a little overrated. You only spend about an hour in the valley, at the same time as all the other tour groups. As a result, the dune lookout is crowded. There was a queue when I visited and it was low season. The guide before us was taking dozens of photos for each person in his group so needless to say that took forever. A couple photos per person should be enough in a crowded setting like this. The sunset spot is outside the valley and while it’s a nice location, it’s far from spectacular. You are looking down at rock formations from the plateau, so not a great angle for photography.

Interesting - Very friendly guide but speaks too much which leaves less exploration time Departure too early from the sunset site but similar for all companies on site

moon valley - a little overpriced. - The experience was good but I guess this was a little overpriced. At least some snacks/coffee, wine or food can be included with this price. Moon Valley was good but the sunset was overrated.

Go to this place with a different company - The guide was very kind. But I would go with a different company to this location next time. The van was hot and cramped compared to Puka Rami agency tours.
