Frequently Asked Questions
Are your tours private?
Yes, we only offer private tours. You will have your own guide, driver, and vehicle, and we do not combine different groups into one.
Are your shore excursions cruise-friendly?
Absolutely! Let us know your preferred dates, interests, pace, and must-see places, and we will design a flexible itinerary around your preferences.
Do you work with cruise passengers?
Yes - our shore excursions are planned around your ship schedule. We pick you up at the port and build a safe time buffer so you return well before "all aboard" time.
What languages are available?
English is available for all tours. Depending on the destination and date, other languages may be available upon request. Tell us what you need, and we will confirm.

Wine Tour in Maipo Valley
Great tour of the wineries! Leo was our lovely guide who was very happy to translate at any of the wineries that didn't speak English and gave us lots of interesting information. The wineries were beautiful. Car was big and comfortable. Planning was thorough and they even made a quick reschedule for us the day before after we messed up our dates! So grateful. Highly recommend!

New Year Atacama Desert & Patagonia Tour
It was an incredible trip, very well organized. Despite the complex logistics, everything was impeccable. The service was exceptional. All the tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient in answering all our questions. 5 stars!

Santiago Full Day Tour & Valparaíso, Viña & Concón
There were six of us, and everyone came away with their own WOW moments. Panoramic views of Santiago from different, history-filled viewpoints helped us truly absorb the vibe and power of this vibrant, energy-filled city surrounded by the mighty Andes. And today’s mind-blowing meeting with Angela Mochi at the Attilio & Mochi winery was something truly special.

3-Day Excursion Program from Santiago
We had an interesting city tour in Santiago on Day 1 with our guide Elena, stopping at the main points of interest. On Day 2, we visited Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, Reñaca, and the Concón dunes. We then finished Day 3 in the Maipo Valley wine region and were pleasantly surprised by how knowledgeable our guide was about wine.

Chile & Peru Shore Excursions
Svetlana organized shore excursions for us during our cruise and after it as well. We visited Lima, Pisco, Arica, Coquimbo, Santiago, and Cusco. Everything went perfectly and was handled at a very professional level. Thank you!

3 Days in Torres del Paine
Thank you to Anna for organizing our two wonderful days in Torres del Paine National Park. We had a kid-friendly hiking day with children aged 7-10 along the Lago Sarmiento - Laguna Amarga route, and a scenic day with a boat trip to Grey Glacier. On the second day, our guide was Juan — an amazing and very charismatic guide. Highly recommended!
