We were a group of 6 who booked a tour to Osorno Volcano and Petrohue Falls after seeing a recommendation of this company on the website Cruise Critic. From the very beginning, Denis and his team were extremely helpful and open to itinerary changes based on what our group wanted to see. Prices were transparent ie. that entry to petrohue falls and up the volcano were an extra cost and we were always made aware of this. Despite this, the cost was very fair and much lower than the cruise ship price despite it being a private tour. When our cruise was delayed with only 2 days notice, Denis and his team were flexible and more than happy and able to do the tour the following day. When we met for the tour, we were met inside the cruise terminal port by our wonderful guide Gloria. She was fantastic, always having lots of information and able to answer all questions. With a great sense of humor, Gloria was able to laugh around with the group and was a joy to spend the day with. As a local, she was able to show us not only the great sights but also the best local ice cream shops. She discussed the history of towns, folklore around the volcanos, lots of information about plants and wildlife in the areas, and the social situation in Chile. We were lucky to have a perfect clear day so our day consisted of travel to and up Osorno Volcano (with a photo stop along the way with llamas), enough free time on the volcano to do a nice hike (or go up the chair lift if that is more your style), travel to verde lagoon, petrohue falls and Puerto Varas. We never felt rushed despite seeing and doing so much. It was a perfect tour and we would highly recommend Gloria and this company.

From initial emails to Denis Purtov, to locking it in, shore excursion day and everyone is on time (14 in our group). Our guide was Carlos (excellent English). Llanquihue Lake (spectacular views with touchy-feely alpacas/llamas), with a sneak peak at Osorno Volcano (as cloud passed over it). oh, so sad. Then Vincente Perez Rosales National Park, and there's Osorno in full view, no clouds (oh, so happy) and below the roar of Petrohue Rapids/Falls. Absolutely stunning, and easy to stay awhile and soak it all up. Emerald Lake was interesting, the lunch at restaurant took way too long and was average (meals were messed up). Quick stop to Puerto Varas (town of roses) for a quick explore. It was a big day, and I think a lot of time was wasted unnecessarily by having a sit-down lunch at the restaurant (additional cost - not included in tour price) when most of the bus voted for a quick snack somewhere. Even a boxed lunch would have sufficed. Aside from that, the beauty is in the landscapes and our day was perfect in that regard. This tour was great value for money and Denis is a true professional. Thank you.

Patty - our guide knew the area wall, answered our questions, and added tidbits that made the trip very enjoyable. Our full day together was very well organized, full of beautiful sites and information. We met our guide at the cruise port, stopped at lookout above city, then went to see Osorno volcano and learned of two others in the area. Osorno was beautiful. Several stops in National park with great waterfalls , lake ,and green lagoon. Before heading back to the ship we stopped in the village to explore a bit on our own. The weather was perfect.

What a great all day tour we had of Puerto Montt and the surrounding area. We were a group of 14 on a cruise circumnavigating South America and chose this tour offered by Puerto Montt Excursions. Denis Purtov, the owner, was very responsive, organized and helpful. Our wonderful guide, Patricia, was a treasure. She was very knowledgeable, spoke good English, and clearly loves the area she lives in. She gave great commentary, answered all our questions and showed us so many great sites during our time together. We saw all the sites promised in the tour description such as Lake Llanquihue, Osorno Volcano and Petrohue Falls.. We made a quick stop for lunch at a local mercado that sold many types of empanadas and kuchen, a cake introduced by Germans who settled the area in the 1850's. By the time we got to Puerto Varas it was raining so we did a drive by and then went to a local craft market that was very good. By the time we were dropped off at the port we all remarked how lucky we were to have chosen this company.to explore the region. It was a day to be remembered..

We had a great tour and fantastic day with Denis on our port stop in Puerto Montt. Denis communicated well via email and WhatsApp and was waiting for us at the dock as he said. He also uses a separate driver so he can concentrate on speaking with his passengers and pointing out sights.
We started with a tour of the town and then headed to the National Park to see Emerald lake, Orsorno volcano and petrohue falls. Denis made sure to try and avoid the cruise bus tours as much as possible. We also made a stop for empenadas and local beer. We ended with a quick stop in Puerto Varas. The price was excellent compared to the ship and it was so nice having a small group of 6 instead of 50! Highly recommend.

I agree with several others who’ve commented on the value and enjoyment of this excursion. Our guide was Gustavo and driver was Hernan. Gustavo was enjoyable, informative and funny, and gave us adequate time to enjoy the wonderful places they took us - Petrohué Falls, Osorno Volcano, Llanquihue Lake (and boat outing), among others. It was one of our best excursions of a 3-week trip! Thanks, guys!

What a wonderful tour. Our guide was Gloria and I believe Carlos was our driver. Gloria was a real delight. She covered information about the area and culture. She made suggestions on stops and I feel we got most of the highlights and avoided the crowds. The beauty of the country side is amazing. A real surprise was the restaurant. It was in a beautiful garden with great food. Afterwards we viewed the town of Puerto Vargas. The fish market was also cool. Need to get Gloria to help me ship up an alpaca scarf. 😉
One of our friends left their phone in the bus. She didn't realize until she was on the tender. She called Denis when she got to the ship and Denis already knew about the phone and had turned it into Princess Security and she got it when they boarded the boat. Thank you Denis!
One of our best tours.

Everything was well organized and our guide was interesting and knowledgeable.
Thanks you Christian and puertomontt-excursiones.
