What travelers are saying

"A really difficult company to communicate with, slow to respond and not able to accept accountability for poor service. Used Tee Travel in Spain which was even worse. Not able to organize support or assistance and harassed me about luggage that wasn't mine. There were other walkers who appeared to have more support and assistance from their travel providers. Definitely avoid this company as overpriced and no actual service."

What travelers are saying

"Intrepid is very good with itinerary description but reality is not so true. We went to Chile, Argentina and Brazil. Our guides in Rio and Iguazu were the best. The rest were not. Guides in Argentina were the worse. Itineraries promised to us were not followed especially in Argentina. We were on a private tour but we had to rush most of the time in Chile and Argentina because the bus was not available to use beyond a certain time. So it felt like we were on a big group tour even though it was a private small group. We were promised 4 star and above hotels but in some places we got 3 stars that really were 2 stars only. There was mold on our curtains and black bed skirting, dirty toilets. We paid a lot for the trip but don’t think we got what we deserve. Guides in Argentina were very disorganized and they put us in a hotel in the area that was not super safe. There were better neighborhoods they could have places us in. Overall all I give only 3 stars to Intrepid. They did try to upgrade us and compensate with added shows but only after we demanded them. If you are looking for a high end tour experience I would not recommend Intrepid."

What travelers are saying

"We love Vaya Adventures. Gabrielle Venturi has treated us like family and taken superb care of us for almost 10 years. She'll be putting up with us again as we take another expedition cruise with Aurora next year. She's a gem!!!! On our trip to the Arctic Circle in August, our fellow passengers were delightful, and we seemed to all share common interests and a real desire to experience this new and interesting wonderland. The trip provided us with a whole new appreciation for the lives of the Inuits who live in the region. We were very fortunate to have two Inuits on board to share their thoughts and experiences of growing up in the remote villages of the Arctic. We can’t thank Gabrielle and Vaya enough for recommending this cruise with Aurora Expeditions. Even under some challenging weather conditions the expedition team made the journey exciting and fulfilling. Can’t wait for our next trip in April."

What travelers are saying

"First, let me say our tour guide Tomomi S. is hands down THE best tour guide I’ve ever had - knowledgeable, fun and made great efforts to ensure that we were comfortable and happy (MTSobek tour guides are independent contractors. Tomomi also works for other Adventure/Tour companies) Secondly, Japan is beautiful, clean and the Japanese people are very welcoming. The hiking in the national parks was amazing. It could have been a truly five-star experience if MtSobek had not cut corners so egregiously. The website said (at the time) group tours are 5-22 people. The tour gets canceled if the minimum is not met. When I paid there were TWO other people booked-a mother and daughter duo. Shortly before our departure date I called to see if the tour would be cancelled. I wanted my money back but Mt Sobek was “pleased to say that the trip would not be canceled”. In other words, I could not get a refund. At the last minute a guy named Matt signed up so there were four of us. Five days into the trip Matt left and took a train back to Tokyo. I said to him “You realize Mt Sobek is not going to refund you”. He said, “I don’t care, Mt Sobek scammed us.” With tax, the tour costs $11,645 for 13 nights. For that price there is an expectation that the accommodations Mt Sobek chooses would be decent and clean. We all fully expected a ‘traditional Japanese experience’ which often means no private bath and 8 out of the 13 nights we slept on futon mats on the floor. However, Mt Sobek consistently booked us in the cheapest Ryokans (hotels) in each area in which we travelled. Most of these hotels were unclean and very out-dated. One Ryokan they booked us in was listed on a hotel website for $40 USD/night when there were much nicer accommodations nearby for $100 USD/night. (The Japanese yen is way down, the luxury Park Hotel in Tokyo was $200 USD/night. A comparable hotel would have been about $800/night in Austin.). We were the only people staying in several hotels that accomadated many more people. The most egregious example of MtSobek’s booking the cheapest rooms is when we were booked at a large traditional ski lodge at the base of a spectacular mountain. It was beautiful on the website but had two very different wings. One wing was modern, clean and beautiful with simple beds. The other wing was very old (similar to a cheap Motel 6 that had not been updated since the 1970’s). The carpet and bathrooms were disgusting and like many of the Ryocans where we stayed the futon mats seemed as though they had not been cleaned In 30 years. Only after our tour guide checked us in did we realize we had been booked in the cheap rooms. I asked Tomo why. Immediately someone from MtSobek reached out to me and said, “gosh, I’m sorry you did not realize you were going to have a traditional Japanese experience”. Really? “Traditional” experience depends upon one’s budget. In the US, “traditional” to some people may be the Marriott, a Motel 6 or the Four Seasons Hotels. We were paying for a Marriott experience and received the one-star Motel 6 experience. Upon arrival in Tokyo I expected to be met at the airport by a driver (as many tour companies do). However, several days before our arrival dates in Tokyo, MtSobek sent an email telling us how to locate taking a city bus from the bustling Tokyo airport. That is interesting if you do not speak Japanese. MtSobek cleverly uses great photography and elaborate descriptions of the national parks and the hiking while using terms like “traditional Japanese experience with tatami-mat sleeping” to disguise sub-standard accommodations. At one point we were looking on-line at the very hotel where we were staying and did not even recognize it from the website pictures. The hiking was amazing. The group size was disappointing with just the three of us. I would absolutely recommend a hiking tour through Japan, just not with MtSobek."

Chile Tour Selection Trips

  • With Chile’s many options for nature lovers, consider your physical limitations. If you want a more relaxing tour, look for tours with fewer physical demands.
  • Take the guess work out of finding Santiago's best food spots with an epicurean tour.
  • For treks in Patagonia, do not wait until the trip to test your outdoor gear. You don’t want any unpleasant surprises!
  • Looking to be wined and dined? Many tours offer excursions to Elqui Valley for wine and pisco tastings.
  • Dress in layers, because the climate can vary widely from day to night and from North to South.
  • Remember that Chile is south of the equator, and therefore the season are likely the opposite of your own 

Additional details

Common Chile Guided Tour Lengths

Thanks to a superior transit system within this region of South America, tours to Chile can include several areas of the country in one go, whether you have one week or four. To get a solid feel for the country and its remarkable geography and fascinating culture, it’s wise to at least plan for ten days at a minimum. That said, if you have two to four weeks open on your calendar, you will certainly be able to fill it here!

Physical Requirements for Chile Guided Tours

Depending on your goals for your Chile guided tour, your physical fitness requirements may vary. Of course, if you’re planning to tackle many miles of trekking in Torres del Paine National Park or sandboarding in the Atacama Desert, you’ll be most comfortable if you are a regular exerciser back home.

Less physically demanding activities abound, however, and are suitable for those who are comfortable walking for a couple hours each day. This might include walking along Valparaiso’s cobblestone alleyways, zooming up to the summit of Santiago’s Cerro San Cristobal Hill by cable car and boating in to view the San Rafael Glacier.

Top Chile Destinations

In a country this vast and varied, Chile guided tours are a valuable way to take it all in … or at least as much as your time allows. Look for tours that include many of the following: Torres del Paine National Park, San Pedro de Atacama, Santiago, the vineyards of Colchagua and Millahue Valley, the Vina del Mar coastline and, if time allows, Easter Island.
