Great! Tasty food, beautiful sights. - Great day out. Laguna Chaxa was stunning, there was no wind so we had a beautiful mirror effect with the flamingoes. Breakfast was delicious with creamy scrambled eggs (best scrambled eggs I’ve had in 3 months in South America), smashed avocado, fresh bread, fruit, coffee (and meat and cheese but I didn’t try these). The next two lagoons were also stunning. Piedras rojas was beautiful, with a very easy mostly flat 20min walk to/from the view point (my 68 year old mum managed fine). Only downside was we only got 20minutes there which felt tight with standing in line for a photo on the iconic rock. Very tasty lunch with chicken, rice and salad.
Thanks to Victoria, our guide, for the interesting day.
Thanks to Brian the driver for both his safe driving and the delicious scrambled eggs.

Truly Amazing Experience in Atacama - Me and my girlfriend truly loved the experience! The tour was well organized since the day before, with instructions and everything; the pick-up hour was on time; and the food was excelent (both breakfest and lunch). The scenery is truly breathtaking, it seems that we are in another planet! Hard to describe what an amazing experience it was. But beyond the landscape, what made our journey so special was our tour guide George and our tour driver Julio. Such wonderfull people! George had so much knowledge to share with us regarding every aspect of the Atacama Desert! It was amazing talking and listening to him! And Julio, probably one of best drivers in the city! We felt really safe and had a lot of fun during all the drives! We just have a lot to thank! We truly recommend for everyone the tour and our guide and driver! Best regards from Brazil!

We had problems with the weather, but the guide George and the agency turned the tragedy into an incredible experience. RECOM - We had problems because of the bad weather, the park of red stones and highland lagoons did not open. Luckily we had the guide George with us, managed to turn the tragedy into an incredible walk, took us to a secret place in the middle of the desert, like an oasis, that I had not even found any walk to this place, as if it was a secret place. Congratulations to guide George, turned the tragedy into a magnificent walk. And congratulate the agency that in the face of the downtime promptly refunded us a fair amount for the tour we had. I am extremely satisfied with the guide George, the agency and the tour, even having missed one of the most beautiful points of the atacama. Thank you all very much.

Incredible experience - We had an amazing experience! The Isi guide was very attentive, with a lot of knowledge of the local culture made all the difference on the tour! We felt very welcomed by both her and the driver Pato, super recommend the ride with them! The food was great too! And these are undoubtedly among the most beautiful places we have ever seen!

Would highly recommend - Would highly recommend this tour. It was 10 hours but it didn’t seem that long as we were constantly seeing things and on the move.
Our tour guide (can’t remember his name) was great. Made the trip an enjoyable experience and spoke perfect English, we were sat next to him in the front of the mini bus so we were able to ask him a lot of questions.
On of the best things about this tour was the food. We’ve been on a lot of these types of tours and some times the food is not good but both the breakfast and lunch was very fresh and tasty.
Can’t think of anything to improve it!

Impermeable! - This walk is unavoidable. We visited a salar with flamingos, then had a delicious breakfast, visited lagoons that looked like film scenes and finally arrived at Piedras Rojas, an indescribable place. Ah, to finish, we had a wonderful lunch. (The company takes care to ask about food restrictions: vegetarians, lactose intolerants and etc... and lunch is carefully thought out for these cases. The vegetarian lunch is 10).
Jordan and Isidora were amazing. Isidora is a super high astral person, caring and caring with everyone. She explains every detail with care and attention, always with a smile on her face. Jordan led us and showed himself an eximio familiar with the geography and details of the place.
But attention, the tour reaches altitudes of more than 3,000 and 4,000 meters high, my travel companion felt bad, but was well oriented and cared for by the staff, who is always attentive to everyone's well-being. Bring water, coke leaves and inform the first sign of illness.

Great way to see the main sites - We had a great time! Lots of driving in between stops but there doesn't seem to be any other way to see all the sites. Pictures do not do justice to the beautiful views. Loved the breakfast and lunch spread. There was plenty of food for everyone. Along the drive we made a few stops to see animals that were close to the road!

Great Tour but Jam-Packed ! - It was a pretty great tour! Victoria was an amazing guide and really taught us a lot about each area we visited. The schedule was packed which meant it felt a little rushed, especially at Piedras Rojas. That is NOT the fault of the guides, but more about the nature of the tour. Breakfast and lunch spreads were impressive! Don’t forget that you are dropped off at the square and not at your hotel/hostel.
