          Awful experience
          They canceled the tour very last minute. Then I waste my day due to cancellation. Because I could not book another tour due to last minute cancellation. They didn’t give me alternative options

          Breathtaking Day at Cajón del Maipo
          My trip to Cajón del Maipo was absolutely unforgettable! The scenic beauty of the Andes mountains was beyond what words can describe. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating insights about the area’s geology, history, and wildlife. The landscapes were mesmerizing, from the towering peaks to the turquoise waters of the reservoir. We stopped at several viewpoints, each more stunning than the last, offering plenty of photo opportunities. The fresh mountain air and the peacefulness of nature made this a perfect escape from the city. The highlight was definitely the Embalse El Yeso, a pristine reservoir with crystal-clear waters nestled between the mountains. Our group enjoyed a delicious picnic surrounded by this incredible scenery, which added to the overall experience. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or just looking for a beautiful day trip from Santiago, Cajón del Maipo is a must-visit. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in Chile's natural beauty!!

          Valentina was amazing she carried the tour by herself. Walking tour and beach 🏖️ was amazing. Casablanca stop is not that great. More of a tourist trap.

          Avoid this tour
          Booked this tour two days before we were to go. They said we'll receive an email confirming pickup time 21.30 day before. So when no email arrived I was trying to contact MTO tours but no answer, called the vivitar help line ( who TripAdvisor booked through) and they were very helpful to tell me my booking was confirmed ( which I knew) and more importantly the pickup time was 8 am. So next morning no one showed up . Frustrated and angry we waited an hour then tried to contact MTO tours again and no answer so contact vivitar and they tried to contact the tour operator too and no answer. After 2 hours we gave up and organised a credit which hopefully was promised to arrive in 7 days. We read the reviews and there were lots of 1 stars but we gave them the benefit of doubt. How wrong were we. Avoid at all cost to save frustration and valuable holiday time.

        In general, the whole experience was pour. Firstly, the driver, with a car, was 1 and a half an hour late. Secondly, he didn't speak English at all. The driver was friendly and polite, I don't think it was his fault, although we couldn't communicate. The entrance museum costs 8000 pesos, so I do not understand why this trip is so expensive. There is an English tour inside the museum which is recorded but it was nice. We never went to Alfonso del Mar, the driver said it was overtime and had to go back. Instead, we went to San Antonio which is not worth it, but it was of the coastal places one can visit during this full-day tour. It is super expensive for what is offered. It's better to book an uber for a day and take you all over these places. I don't recommend it!

        This tour was unbelievable and well worth the price. You're able go beyond Santiago and see more of what Chile has to offer.

        Alex was the best guide ever!!! He was warm, inviting, personable, very knowledgeable and has the biggest infectious smile. He's a wealth of knowledge in the Chilean culture.

        Thank you for a great day!

        Luis was great! He was so nice and knowledgeable. He really watched out for us. He even checked the weather for us to see if we needed a jacket. He was so thoughtful and made our tour amazing! We were treated like family. I would recommend him as a tour guide to everyone. The tour was fun also.

        Living in USA we booked the trip in Chile using tripadvisor. Pick up time was 8:30 am. 8:25 am I called the "company" and a guy named Felipe Rojas answered that he was too busy to know if our "Van" was in time or not.Of course I expressed very calm my concern about the answer, but the phone call anyway was over. At 8:35 He called again to let me know that the "Van" was delay for mechanical problems, 1/2 hour (I think he forgot about us and called some one in the last minute to do this trip). They send a small SUV with seven seats for 8 people (we were 7 passengers + the driver). I called back Felipe, at first he argue that the car was the right size, but my point about only seven seat belts for 8 people stopped his argument. Then his answer was that at this time, that car is all what he can do! If I don't like it, I should cancel the trip an get refunded what ever apply according their refund policy. We were already there with my 84 years old mother. We started the trip more than one hour late!. The diver was a very gentlemen, but by the end of the trip, because the late departure and under the pressure of 5 minutes apart Felipe's phone calls, he drove us back at very high speed (130- 140 km/hr = 81- 87 miles/hr !!!!). Please, for your safety and you comfort, DONT BOOK with MTOTOUR Chile !!!
